October 17: Improving Law Firm Operations with Streamlined Policies and Practices

Running a law firm efficiently requires more than just legal expertise. Unfortunately, most law schools do not offer courses on the business of law, so many of us fly blindly into firm management. A lot of firm owners don’t even know if their businesses are truly profitable! 
Running and growing a practice demands robust policies, streamlined practices, and a commitment to continuous improvement. This free CLE is designed to equip you with the tools and knowledge you need to elevate your firm's operations to the next level.
Join attorney Jordan Turk as she takes you through practical strategies to streamline your firm’s policies and practices, reducing inefficiencies and boosting productivity. You'll also learn how successful law firms have implemented streamlined operations, as well as the pitfalls they wish they could’ve avoided when growing their practices.
‍In this free CLE webinar, you’ll learn:
  • How to implement effective policies to streamline both case and administrative operations
  • Workflow processes to aid in proper time management and task delegation
  • Strategies for enhancing client management.

Jordan graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a B.A. in Classics, History, and Religious Studies and then went on to attend the University of Arkansas School of Law to earn her J.D. After almost four years of practice with a high-asset family law firm in Houston (and after being frustrated at the lack of automation in her firm), she discovered the world of legal technology which ultimately brought her to Smokeball.

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.
