October 5: Seattle - Coffee Shops, Clouds, and Contractors: The Ethical Considerations of Shared Working & Meeting Spaces, Keeping Client Documents Online, and Hiring Help

Many new solo and low bono lawyers find themselves conducting business in shared and public spaces – both virtual and real – in order to keep costs down. What do the ethics rules have to say about office sharing and co-working? Or meeting with clients in public? How about when you are ready to expand your business but you’re not quite ready to take on employees – what ethical issues do you need to consider before joining forces with others or taking on contractors? From phone answering services to paralegals, from cloud file sharing and payments to coffee shop conversations, to contract attorneys, what do you need to know?
Explore all of this and more with ethics expert Jeanne Marie Clavere, Professional Responsibility Counsel at the WSBA. With the help of Veronica Smith-Casem ’02 and JD/MBA candidate Jeff Hamilton participants will engage and explore real-world hypotheticals that other low bono lawyers have faced, and then Jeanne Marie, will provide the solid and reliable answers attorneys need to navigate these 21st century challenges.

October 20: Webcast - Electronic Health Information: State and Local Approaches to Data Sharing

The United States health system is undergoing a critical transformation in financing, service delivery, and access to care. One of the key elements of this transformation are unprecedented efforts at the local and state levels to electronically capture and exchange data to improve health care and population health, and reduce costs. Health information technology tools such as electronic health records (EHRs) capture clinical data that can be used at the point of care, shared among providers and public health to facilitate care coordination, analyzed to support public health goals, including resource allocation, prioritization, and planning. Despite these tremendous benefits and a nationwide commitment to the use and sharing of electronic health information, health information exchange can be a challenging reality for state and local public health—leading public health partners to focus on identifying ways to reduce or eliminate real or perceived barriers to information sharing and improve access to and use of electronic health information on the state and local levels.
This webinar, co- sponsored by CDC’s Public Health Law Program and the Network for Public Health Law, will focus on the importance of data sharing for public health purposes. Panelists will characterize public health information exchange, and highlight efforts under way to improve the ability of state and local public health agencies to access and use electronic health information.

September 20: Webcast - When Permanency Isn't Forever: The Problem of Broken Adoptions #MCLE

It is estimated that nearly 20 percent of children who are adopted out of foster care in New York City later return to placement. Although the total number of adopted youth who do not reach adulthood in their "forever" home is not known, many young adoptees find themselves homeless, or being raised by an adult other than their adoptive parent. Representing these young people presents a unique set of issues and challenges.
Please join Betsy Kramer of Lawyers For Children and Dawn J. Post of the Children’s Law Center for an introduction to the phenomenon of broken adoptions as they:

• Provide tips for practitioners representing young people whose "forever" home has fallen apart;
• Look at the ways in which youth come back under the jurisdiction of the family court;
• Suggest how to work with youth toward finding stable homes after a disrupted adoption;
• Review practices for maintaining connections with siblings;
• Offer approaches to reestablishing connections with biological family; and
• Discuss the problem of the recurring adoption subsidy.

September 21: Webcast+Cleveland - The Present And Future of Reproductive Rights #MCLE

This lecture will analyze the state of reproductive rights following the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in the case Whole Woman's Health v. Hellerstedt.

In 2013, the Texas legislature passed House Bill 2, a law that imposed numerous restrictions on access to abortion services in the state through additional legal requirements for medical staff and facilities. The law, which was challenged in federal court, would result in the closure of an estimated 75 percent of all women’s health clinics that provide abortion services in the state and force women seeking those services to travel hundreds of miles as a result.

In addition to analyzing the immediate impacts of the Supreme Court’s decision in Whole Woman's Health v. Hellerstedt, the lecture will also review the vast slate of abortion restrictions enacted at the state level in recent years and consider the implications of the current Court's jurisprudence for abortion legislation in the future.

She also served as law clerk to the Honorable Karen Nelson Moore of the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.

Where is the line between acceptable poll watching and voter intimidation? What are the rights of poll watchers, and do they conflict with the right of voters? What kinds of voter challenges does the law allow, and should it allow more or less? Does the possibility of voter fraud justify the risk of voter intimidation that such challenges create?

October 13: Webcast - If You’re Not on Facebook You’re Committing Malpractice #MCLE

Can you imagine cross-examining a witness about a telephone call if you’d never used a telephone before? It sounds ridiculous, but that’s precisely where many attorneys find themselves today when it comes to social media. With most of the population now using one or more of these tools to communicate, it’s increasingly dangerous for attorneys to blithely ignore social media and other developing technologies.
Lawyers who attend this webinar will learn about:

• The growing number of ethics opinions addressing social media, and the obligation of attorneys to be familiar with them.
• How to think about counseling clients on use of social media during a pending matter — and the attorney’s own use.
• The intersection between competency requirements and changes in law office technology.

September 20: NYC - Follow the Money: Fighting Cybercrime in the Digital Underworld #MCLE

Cybercrime is a business. While some hackers engage in cyberattacks to steal state secrets or to engage in sabotage for political purposes, a significant portion of the attacks that plague American companies and individuals are motivated by money. Whether the perpetrators are Eastern European organized crime groups or actors linked to the Chinese military in ways that may be obscure, the goal is often to turn a profit. Deterring these actors means not only trying to keep them out of our systems and networks in the first place, but also making it as difficult as possible for them to raise, move, store, and use funds. This event will shed light on ways that the government and private sector are working to disrupt the flow of funds that powers the digital underground.
