October 6: What’s a WY DAO LLC? Decentralized Autonomous Organizations

A DAO (decentralized autonomous organization) is an online community that uses blockchain technology to function and transact toward a specific purpose or mission (e.g. an investment, global community service, or sending one lucky DAO member to the moon).
In DAOs there are no hierarchies and no central control. DAOs also have no corporate form and therefore no bylaws, operating agreements, contribution agreements, or subscription agreements. The rules of investing and participating, as for cryptocurrencies, are set out on a blockchain in smart contracts, which contain some key terms but rarely track existing corporate laws.
DAOs that fail to implement optimal structural integrations risk being treated as unintentional partnerships complete with joint and several liability for all DAO participants and an inability to enforce any of its contracts with the outside world.
Like cryptocurrencies and blockchains, DAOs are inherently borderless and involve people and organizations across the globe, requiring legal expertise that also extends beyond national borders. In 2021, Wyoming became the first U.S. state to attempt to provide more legal certainty to DAOs. Other states followed, and international jurisdictions are also vying for the coveted title of most crypto-friendly jurisdiction.
Join Jonathan Bench for a live video broadcast hosted by the Federal Bar Association. This event will cover hot topics in LLCs, including WY DAO LLCs, entity type taxation, current operating issues, and ethics.

September 30: Research & Drafting Techniques For Finance: Replacing LIBOR

In July of 2017, the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority announced that LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) will be phased out in 2021, as regulators look to replace it with a more reliable alternative. LIBOR is a benchmark rate that is calculated from reported interest rates that select banks pay to borrow from each other on an unsecured basis. As the transition away from LIBOR towards a new, alternative benchmark rate is well underway, there are several steps lenders and finance counsel should take now to amend existing transaction documentation and to manage new transactions. This course will discuss the history, present and future of LIBOR.

September 23: Not Equivalent, But Better: Human Rights and Health Care Behind Bars in the Time of COVID

The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the lack of resources and oversight that hinders medical care for incarcerated people in the United States. 

The US Supreme Court has held that “deliberate indifference” to “serious medical needs” violates the Constitution. But this legal standard does not assure the consistent provision of health care services. This leads the United States to fall behind European nations that define universal standards of care grounded in principles of human rights and the ideal of equivalence that incarcerated and non-incarcerated people are entitled to the same health care.

Drawing on a normative analysis and empirical research, this talk describes an incremental strategy based on expanding Medicaid into correctional facilities and improving comprehensive oversight that would move closer to the normative ideal without resolving many of the thorny problems of correctional health care.

September 20, 23+27: Navigating the New Town Square: Cultivating Competency in Basic Online Legal Research

 “The Internet is becoming the town square for the global village of tomorrow.” -- Bill Gates.

The growth in the amount of information available and the many different platforms on which to obtain it impact the way attorneys practice law. It also brings forth more issues and new laws that your clients may face.

The many ways technology can aid attorneys in locating the best and most on-point statutes, caselaw, secondary materials and all relevant materials can be overwhelming. As the comments to the model rules of professional conduct state, to maintain competency a lawyer should keep abreast of the benefits and risks associated with relevant technology.

September 22: Accessible Health Tech

The Elena and Miles Zaremski Law Medicine Forum presents: Accessible Health Tech Implemented properly, technologies like virtual appointments, patient portals and remote patient monitoring can eliminate transportation and other barriers, streamline the processes for communicating with providers, obtaining medical records or refilling prescriptions, and improve the management of chronic conditions. People with disabilities might then seem like an obvious population to benefit from these advances. Unfortunately, health tech is often inaccessible for many patients with disabilities because developers do not currently prioritize accessibility. Yet we argue that there are legal, economic, and structural reasons for designing these technologies accessibly. As a result, law and policy makers should act now to ensure that all patients can use health tech, regardless of disability.

September 21: Let’s Talk About Disabilities and Accommodations in the Workplace

California employers face ever-increasing challenges in today’s workplaces in managing their employees’ claims of disability and requesting reasonable accommodations. Disability discrimination claims against employers continue to be heavily litigated in the courts and are among the most frequent claims brought to the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) and the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). Given this landscape, it is desirable that employers periodically review these complex laws, their policies and procedures, and best practices to effectively and proactively manage the myriad issues they may face with respect to engaging in the interactive process with their employees to determine what, if any, reasonable accommodations may be required. As added twists, COVID-related and now MPX (formerly known as monkeypox) related spread causes the continued impacts and challenges of remote and hybrid work schedules, and requests for leave as a reasonable accommodation, all combine to create new challenges for employers and new opportunities for disgruntled employees to file claims against their employers when they feel they have not been reasonably accommodated for their actual and/or perceived disabilities. Join Cozen O’Connor attorneys for a discussion of these legal developments and the best practices employers must follow to reduce the legal risks these new legal developments present.
For experienced human resources professionals, this webinar will be a practical refresher. For less experienced human resources professionals, this webinar will provide an introduction and real-world advice regarding disability discrimination and accommodations essentials. This webinar continues our 2022 California Employment Law Essentials series for HR professionals. Be on the lookout for details about this series in the months ahead. Future webinars in 2022 will include compliance with and best practices for California employers for discrimination, retaliation, and classification issues, including nonexempt and exempt employees.
