When establishing a Web-based business can you just cut and paste the terms and conditions of another e-commerce company? Should you have a privacy statement and, if so, what should it say? In what ways can you use the information you gather from customers and visitors via the Web? What are your limits of liability? What law should govern disputes? Have you protected your domain name? Are you violating e-marketing laws?
Winning Strategies provides attorneys with an array of continuing legal education topics central to the handling of federal criminal defense cases. The seminar employs plenary and break-out sessions on “nuts and bolts” defenses to firearms, drug, child pornography and immigration prosecutions, as well as more novel areas such as mortgage fraud, identity-theft, and more. Winning Strategies also provides guidance and insights to help practitioners safely navigate the post-Booker sentencing landscape. Also included is an analysis of the Supreme Court’s recent criminal law decisions and the Court’s pending criminal cases.

The Federal Bar Association's New Orleans Chapter is pleased to co-sponsor a CLE presentation entitled "A.P. Tureaud - A More Noble Cause" on Wednesday, June 1, 2011, at the Louisiana Supreme Court, 400 Royal Street.
The presentation, which is free and open to the public, will examine the life and legal career of Alexander Pierre Tureaud. Attendees will receive one hour of professionalism credit.
Title: 
Rob Ruth at MadisonAttorney.com writes:"The Association of Federal Defense Attorneys (AFDA) is presenting a free online CLE on May 25, 2011, 11:00 a.m. Central Time, entitled: “The Federal Bureau of Prisons: An Overview Of Drug Treatment (RDAP), Psychological And Medical Services For Inmates.” Anyone is welcome to attend. The program will consist of an informal, 60-90 minute presentation by Dr. Gareth Lasky, Dr. B. Carl Gordon, and Dr. George H. Saltzberg.If this opportunity is relevant to your practice, be sure to go thank Rob at his website for researching this opportunity and giving us all a head's up!
Dr. Lasky worked for the BOP for 22 years, during which time he served as the Chief Psychologist at FCI Ashland and Drug Abuse Program Coordinator at FCI-Sheridan. While in the BOP, he completed over 1500 Residential Drug Abuse Treatment Program (RDAP) evaluations. Dr. Lasky will focus on the RDAP program during the seminar.
Dr. Gordon worked for the BOP for 25 years, during which time he served as a clinical psychologist, Drug Program Coordinator, and Chief Psychologist at FCI-Sheridan. He will focus on the Psychology Services department within the BOP facilities, including mental health screening and treatment.
Dr. Saltzberg retired from the BOP in 2005 after having served as the Clinical Director at FCI-Sheridan and FDC SeaTac. During the seminar, he will focus on medical services within the BOP, including medications and the process by which designations to federal medical facilities are made.
The program includes an online Question/Answer session where attendees may speak directly to the panelists, as well as post questions via a moderated chat room.
Apparently, the AFDA applied for CLE credit in California, but not in any other states. Thus, attendees seeking CLE credit in other states need to apply for it.
