November 1: Reforming College Sports

The U.S. college sports industry produces $19 billion in annual revenue. Some colleges bring in more than $100 million per year from their athletic programs, more than some NHL teams. Nevertheless, the college athletes who provide the physical labor force for intercollegiate sporting events have historically rarely been paid. While some college coaches and athletic directors bring home salaries that far exceed seven figures, NCAA member schools continue to label college athletes as “amateurs” and “student-athletes” in hopes of avoiding legal obligations.
At present, the college sports industry is on the precipice of major change: not based on voluntary reform by NCAA member schools, but rather as a result of state legislative efforts, private antitrust lawsuits, and efforts to organize college athletes through unionization. These legal activities present a promise of creating a more equitable system of college sports in America, both in terms of the promotion of free labor markets and in terms of racial and gender equity. This symposium, featuring leading academics and practitioners in the field, will explore the reforms that lurk on the horizon in college sports, as well as the reasons why college athlete rights truly constitute human rights.

October 30: A Handy Primer on Drafting and Updating Employee Handbooks

A properly drafted and updated employee handbook not only states the terms, conditions, and expectations of employment, but can also help employers defend against claims of discrimination, harassment, breach of contract, wrongful termination, and other employment law claims. Employers who conduct business in multiple jurisdictions and industries must be diligent in ensuring employment policies comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws.

October 29: The Architecture of Desire: How the Law Shapes Interracial Intimacy and Perpetuates Inequality

In her new book, The Architecture of Desire: How the Law Shapes Interracial Intimacy and Perpetuates Inequality, Professor Solangel Maldonaldo examines how the law influences our most personal and private choices – who we desire and choose as intimate partners – and explores the psychological, economic, and social effects of these choices. Romantic preferences, as shaped by law, perpetuate segregation and subordination by limiting, on the basis of race, individuals' prospects for marriage and marriage-like commitments, as well as economic and social mobility. Author Professor Maldonaldo will be joined by discussants Professor Rose Cuison-Villazor, Professor Clare Huntington, and Professor Ela Leshem. Professor Kimani Paul-Emile will moderate.

December 10: Automate Your Practice: Tools and Techniques for the Modern Legal Professional

When you’re sitting alone in your office at 11:00pm, prepping for a hearing, drafting last-minute filings, questioning life, one thought often comes unbidden: there has got to be a better way to handle all of this. You deserve to leave the office before the sun sets. You deserve to carry less stress in an already stressful profession. Enter legal technology, specifically automation.
Your fellow attorneys are optimizing and automating their firms, and so should you if you want to stay competitive. Automation really just boils down to the elimination of repetitive tasks and the reduction of human error. Don’t be intimidated by technology – this CLE will take you through everything you need to know about how to increase efficiency in your firm and what types of technology can help you reach your goals (whether those goals be financial or more free time back into your day).
Join attorney Jordan Turk as she talks about common law firm tasks that are ripe for automation, from non-billable activities like billing to workflows to document management and everything in between. If you’ve been wondering what the heck automation is, or how you can build upon the automation that you already have, then this CLE is for you. 

In this free CLE webinar, major topics will include:

• How document automation can help you produce, version, store and submit legal documents like pleadings, motions, orders and discovery requests and responses
• How to align your automated technology with your law firm’s processes and build firm-wide efficiencies, including billing procedures
• How automation reduces the risk of possible compliance, ethical, malpractice, and security issues by removing human error.

October 24: Evaluating & Estimating Water Damage Restoration and Mold Claims Webinar

Evaluating & Estimating Water Damage Restoration and Mold Claims is intended to help claims professionals understand water intrusion investigations, mold management, and estimating the costs of restoration. We handle a surprising number of these claims-gone-bad through the litigation process
Investigating building leaks is a well developed profession with it's own collection of professional consensus standards governing best practices, and we will explain them.
While mold is not weapons grade plutonium, but it is a health concern for immunocompromised people, and when found in the built environment it means there is a moisture problem that needs to be professionally diagnosed, solved, and remediated. There are professional standards for making sure mold does not grow when water has suddenly been introduced into a building, and for remediation when it's found.
Cost estimating is a profession with specialized skills, training, education, and certifications; but it’s not rocket science. There is some math, so it’s scary to a lot of people. There are many moving parts to a remediation estimate, including one from Xactimate, but the idea is simple: What does it take to restore the building? We will explain all of this as simply and clearly as possible.
Learning Objectives

• Review the process of investigating water intrusion claims
• Explain the dangers of mold and how they can be avoided
• Understand the process of estimating restoration costs
• Learn about evaluating cost estimates from other parties
• Discuss the power and dangers of Xactimate
• Examine Case Studies.

November 20: Ethical Dangers of Isolation in the Legal Professional

Lawyers are exposed to experiences that can lead to higher stress and greater consequences than those in many other careers. There is a clearly recognized continuum where unresolved chronic stress becomes a predictor for substance use problems and mental illness, particularly depression and anxiety. 

 By understanding this continuum and the facts about addiction and mental illness, lawyers can reduce their risk and, hopefully, get help earlier when there is a mental health, substance use, or related problem. 

This program will present signs, symptoms, risk factors, and recovery regarding these challenges. The presenter will also provide personal examples and information on Minnesota's lawyer assistance program. .

October 14: Equal Rights and Protections in Human Subjects Research – A Call to Action with Leslie E. Wolf

The COVID-19 pandemic provided a stark reminder of the critical role of biomedical research in saving human lives. But it also highlighted an urgent need for research that expands the evidence base in ways that reduce health disparities and promote equity. 

the inclusive research needed to achieve these goals may be hampered by the fact any efforts to achieve these goals are embedded in a system that treats research participants unequally. The federal regulations governing human subject research do not apply to all research, leaving some participants unprotected. In addition, because of variation in state laws, participants in the same study may have different rights and protections. Congress has the power to provide additional procedural and substantive research protections that would uniformly apply to all participants, and Wolf will provide some recommendations for changes Congress should consider.
