September 10: OSHA Complaints and Wrongful Death Suits: Defending Claims Arising Out of COVID-19 Exposure in the Workplace

Employers face a two-front battle in relation to defending legal claims related to employee exposure to COVID-19 in the workplace. OSHA has already received tens of thousands of complaints, and many employers will face potential investigations from state and federal safety authorities in the months ahead. Although many states are passing liability shields for employers, there is still the prospect for wrongful death lawsuits on the horizon for many front line employers who have experienced a large number of employee cases. This webinar will provide practical guidance on defending these claims including:

• Practical guidance on recording employee COVID-19 cases on OSHA 300 Logs and best practices for employer investigations into the source of positive employee cases
• Guidance on responding to OSHA inquiries related to complaints about COVID-19 exposure
• Latest update on federal and state laws limiting liability for exposure and the use of waivers and notices in the workplace
• Workers’ compensation preemption of employee lawsuits and state law exceptions for wrongful death claims.

September 24: Subrogation Arising from Commercial Kitchen Fire Losses

In 2014, an estimated 8,470 restaurant structure fires were responsible for $140 million in property loss. Approximately 61 percent of restaurant structure fires were caused by cooking equipment. Cooking materials (grease, oil) were the most frequent items first ignited. This webinar will address the subrogation and recovery opportunities presented when restaurant fire suppression systems and cooking ventilation systems fail to contain and suppress commercial kitchen fires and where instead a fire originating on a cooking line evolves into a major conflagration that causes substantial loss to the restaurant building, business property, and significant business interruption costs. We will address theories of liability arising out of the spread of a fire that otherwise should have been contained and suppressed by a restaurant’s fire suppression system that can be asserted against restaurant fire suppression system contractors who design, install, service, and maintain restaurant fire suppression systems; against designers and installers of commercial cooking equipment and vent systems; and against restaurant hood and duct cleaners who design, install, service, clean, and maintain restaurant hood and duct exhaust systems.

September 1: Black Lives Matter (In Disasters, Too) – The Intersection of Race and Policy in Disasters

While disasters do not discriminate, recovery does. Studies show that communities of color struggle to recover long after the natural disaster is over. This webinar provides a historical context of how segregation and discrimination as well as policies such as redlining isolated communities of color and put them in areas more susceptible to natural disasters, and explores ways in which attendees can advocate for change in their communities through grassroots advocacy. The webinar also examines how restriction of movement during a public health emergency impacts communities of color, balancing privacy rights and the need for collecting and sharing data during COVID-19, and how protests of shelter in place executive orders and protests supporting the Black Lives Matter movement resulted in disparate treatment among minorities.

September 2: Law as an Instrument of Mass Crimes? The Legal System Under the Third Reich

Hitler’s Germany disturbingly demonstrated how a legal system can become an instrument of state-sponsored mass atrocities. This program will examine questions such as:

• How did the Nazi state succeed in perverting the German legal system?
• What role did prominent lawyers and judges play in resisting or assisting this perversion of the legal system?
• Are there limits to how law can be perverted before it ceases to function as law?
• What lessons apply from the German case to challenges facing lawyers today?

Join us for a special virtual CLE program with Speaker Lawrence Douglas, the James J. Grosfeld Professor of Law, Jurisprudence & Social Thought at Amherst College.

September 9: Emerging Bankruptcy Trends from the Pandemic

The U.S. economy, hit hard by the Covid-19 pandemic, has recently seen bankruptcies affecting a broad range of industries, including retailers, airlines, restaurants, fitness centers, and oil producers.
Hertz and J.C. Penney are just two of the roughly 140 U.S. businesses of all sizes that have blamed Covid-19 at least in part for their demise. With the pandemic raging on, it is very likely that bankruptcy and restructuring will be one of the fastest-growing practice areas in the legal industry in the coming years.
In this webinar, we will discuss how the Covid-19 health crisis has changed the legal practice of bankruptcy. We will take a detailed look at the results of the 2020 Bloomberg Law Bankruptcy Survey to analyze how law firms are preparing for the potential increase in workflow, discuss best practices for preparing new attorneys in this practice area, and share insights on guiding clients through the decision to file.
Educational Objectives:

• Understand how the pandemic and resulting downturn are affecting the legal market
• Hear legal practitioners about how best to prepare for more work, and how to quickly train new attorneys in bankruptcy practice
• Benefit from Bloomberg Law’s data-driven market insights about bankruptcy practice.

This webinar is intended for law firm bankruptcy practitioners, associates new to bankruptcy, and managers of law firms thinking about building their bankruptcy practice.

September 23: Prison Abolition and a Mule

Incarceration is a relatively recent development in the history of punishment, with the first modern prison constructed in Philadelphia in the early 1800s. The American penitentiary was intended as a reform, making the institution of punishment more humane and rehabilitative.
Because the United States now locks up more people than almost any country in the history of the world, this nation is perhaps the best laboratory to assess the success of the experiment. By virtually any measure, prisons have not worked. They are sites of cruelty, dehumanization, and violence, as well as subordination by race, class, and gender. Prisons traumatize virtually all who come into contact with them. Abolition of prison could be the ultimate reform.
The lecture will suggest what would replace prisons, how people who cause harm could be dealt with in the absence of incarceration, and why abolition would make everyone safer and our society more just.

September 16: Emerging Trends in TCPA Class Actions and Practical Strategies to Mitigate Risk

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) has been the basis of a significant wave of litigation targeting businesses across industries, including financial services, retail, hospitality, insurance, communications, technology, sports, health care, and pharmaceuticals/life sciences. Plaintiffs’ attorneys continue to aggressively solicit prospective litigants and exploit the TCPA, and its statutory damages provision permitting the recovery of $500 up to $1500 per call, text message or fax (with no cap on aggregate damages), in proposed nationwide class action lawsuits. These cases, which challenge marketing, informational and “dual purpose” communications, threaten to disrupt businesses’ legitimate efforts to reach consumers.
This webinar will focus on:

• The TCPA litigation and regulatory environment in 2020;
• An inside look at the plaintiffs’ lawyers and litigants filing and threatening TCPA actions;
• The latest theories being tested in litigation and successful defense strategies;
• The significance of the Supreme Court proceeding to address the circuit split on the definition of an “automatic telephone dialing system” (ATDS);
• Strategies for setting up or refining calling, texting and/or faxing programs to ensure TCPA compliance;
• Best practices for vendor management (e.g., mobile marketing and collections vendors) and vendor contracting to protect your business;
• Lessons learned from TCPA class actions and FCC enforcement actions; and
• Arbitration agreements and key provisions in consumer terms in light of TCPA decisions.

This program will offer valuable information and strategic guidance to companies across industries that seek to engage with consumers.

Long before COVID-19 ravaged the nation, the use of the death penalty has been on a downward trend for quite some time. This year, the use of the death penalty has reached a new low as governments faces practical challenges of COVID. In this webinar, our panelists will discuss how execution holds initially across the country and the widespread economic downturn in the United States have negatively impacted the use of the death penalty. Our panelists will also explore how the pandemic has affected capital litigation by threatening due process specifically at trial, in post-conviction, and in execution-date clemency proceedings, inhibiting the development of mitigation cases when attorneys and their aides and experts cannot work normally. Our panelists will unpack the controversy surrounding execution drug shortages. Ohio’s implementing a de facto moratorium on executions in light of the pandemic will be examined, and considered in the context of the state’s failure to implement the recommendations of an ABA assessment team and a commission created by the state government. In a further exploration of the many ways in which the death penalty system violates due process, a panelist will discuss a recent analysis of jury‘s roles in creating racist results.
