December 10: Orders in the Court: Executive Authority and Litigation in 2026

The wave of executive orders and other actions issued by the Trump Administration has left the legal arena in a state of confusion. But what happens when executive authority comes up against judicial scrutiny?
When Bloomberg Law asked its legal analysts to identify the key themes and trends that they will be watching in 2026, many of them focused on EOs, litigation, and the impact that each will have on the other in the year ahead.
In this 60-minute webinar, four Bloomberg Law analysts discuss what the upcoming year has in store for lawyers as they navigate the rapidly changing dynamic between two branches of government.
Learning Objectives:
  • Understand how tensions between the Supreme Court and lower court judges could affect outcomes in cases involving the Trump administration in 2026.
  • Gain insight into how lawyers will change their approach to practices like discovery and forum-shopping in the wake of the EO wave.
  • Look ahead to how executive actions will impact major issues such as employee political speech and federal agency deference.
  • See data-driven trends in lawsuits challenging executive orders.
Who would benefit most from attending the program?
  • In-house lawyers whose organizations are impacted by executive orders
  • Law firm attorneys needing to keep up with changes in litigation strategies
  • Legal observers and thought leaders looking for major trends and shifts in 2026.

December 10: 10 Sloppy Tech Habits Your Law Firm Needs to Break in 2025

Title:
10 Sloppy Tech Habits Your Law Firm Needs to Break in 2025
 Course Description:
Few law firms seem to fully appreciate the level of risk attorneys and staff truly represent. As a user of firm technology, any individual's actions can unintentionally circumvent the security tools IT support has deployed. For example, a poorly thought-out response to the wrong email, voicemail, or text message can enable a cyber breach. 
 Of course, the ultimate goal is to avoid a cyber breach altogether, because preventing one is easier and less stressful than recovering from its fallout. Unfortunately, it's the ignorance and/or apathy of any individual user that can so easily prevent a firm from ever reaching that goal. This program will address this problem by focusing on protecting technology users, raising awareness of how social engineering attacks occur, and coupling that with knowledge of how the attacks themselves can be circumvented.
Learning Objectives:
  • An understanding of why ongoing mandatory user training is necessary
  • An awareness of the types of attacks being directed at law firms
  • Awareness of ways attacks in the mobile device space can be prevented
  • Practical tips on how to avoid becoming a victim of wire fraud scams
  • A basic understanding of how sophisticated social engineering attacks have become, coupled with practical ways such attacks can be identified.

December 2: Breached! Cybersecurity 101

With data security incidents and data breaches happening daily, it’s important for attorneys to turn towards one reality—it’s NOT IF a breach or incident will occur—it’s WHEN. These incidents are forcing government agencies, companies, law firms, etc. to address, define, and handle these challenges. As cloud technology and big-data analytics have become the norm, cybersecurity risks have increased and it is more important than ever to have both an avoidance and a response plan in place. During this 60-minute CLE session, we will cover:
(1) the latest security threats in the news and what’s being done to address/remedy them,
(2) explore current data breach laws,
(3) the roles and responsibilities of government agencies, and
(4) how to prepare a data breach avoidance plan as well as a data breach response plan. After completing this course, you will be able to: Know the latest cybersecurity threats the U.S. is facing; understand the different roles and responsibilities of various agencies; what the legal framework surrounding data breaches look like? How both government entities and companies across the globe have been impacted by cyber breaches; and how to prepare both a “data breach avoidance plan” as well as a “data breach response plan.”

As a result, too many children languish in inappropriate educational settings that do not meet their needs. Attorneys can be instrumental in ensuring that the needs of children with disabilities are finally addressed so that they can learn and thrive. Come learn about the federal laws and regulations that shape education for children with disabilities so that you are equipped to provide pro bono support to transform educational outcomes for these children!

January 27: Spending Programs and the New Roberts Court

The Supreme Court is poised to place new limits on Congress’s spending power at the urging of states vying for regulatory dominance. Most federal and state programs addressing health and social welfare heavily rely on the federal spending power, and three recent Supreme Court decisions -- Health and Hospital Corporation v. Talevski, Medina v. Planned Parenthood, and Moyle v. U.S. -- are the tip of the iceberg. 
Four theories are arising throughout these cases, testing the breadth of the spending power and private enforcement of spending programs. If state advocates are successful (Medina indicates they have gained traction already), then shifts in the scope, interpretation, and enforcement of longstanding social programs may occur. Yet, states may not achieve their expected outcomes. If it becomes harder to exercise the spending power with state partners, Congress may act without them, or abandon the programs altogether, depending on the political environment and other factors. 
State advocates may experience a short-term political gain by limiting federal authority over spending programs, but, long-term, states have needed federal money to balance their budgets, especially during economic downturns. Also, federal spending power has long been used to protect civil rights, so new limits may contribute to retrenchment.
