April 30: What to Expect from a Fire Expert

Description:
The scientific investigation to determine a fire's origin and cause is a critical component when insurance claims become complex and transition toward litigation. A reliable fire expert's findings must be firmly rooted in factual science and adhere to rigorous industry standards, notably NFPA 921 and 1033.

This program offers a detailed look at the expert's systematic methodology. We discuss how key fire patterns and effects are used to establish the area of origin, and we demonstrate how identifying the heat source, the first material ignited, and the sequence of fire progression is used to establish the likely cause of a fire.

Drawing on the panel's seasoned experience in forensic property loss investigation, this presentation equips attendees to effectively integrate the expert's findings into their professional work. You will be prepared to critically evaluate the technical evidence and its implications for your claims or overall legal strategy.

Program Outline
  • Introduction
  • The Basics
  • Origin Determination: Fire Patterns
  • Origin Determination: Fire Effects
  • Cause Determination: Fuel
  • Cause Determination: Ventilation
  • Cause Determination: Fire Progression
  • Cause Determination: Ignition Sources
  • Conclusion.
Learning Objectives
  • Explain the critical distinctions between public and private fire investigators, including who hires them and the differing burdens of proof in their respective investigations.
  • Review the role of industry standards (like NFPA 921 and 1033) and factual science in fire investigations to ensure proper claims handling and protect against liability exposure.
  • Articulate how key fire patterns and effects are used by fire experts to systematically determine both the area of origin and the cause of a fire.
  • Discuss how to properly integrate the findings and opinions of a fire origin and cause expert with a property damage expert's assessment and the overall legal strategy in a subrogation or liability claim.

March 27: The ReproCussions of Barriers to Care: Youth Access and the Fight for Bodily Autonomy

The Reproductive Rights Law Initiative (RRLI) at Case Western Reserve University's School of Law is hosting a daylong conference called The ReproCussions of Barriers to Care: Youth Access and the Fight for Bodily Autonomy. This conference will explore the legal and structural barriers facing young people as they attempt to access essential reproductive and gender-affirming health care. In a post-Dobbs landscape marked by escalating parental consent requirements, criminalization of abortion access, and hostile legislation targeting trans health care and sex education, this conference will gather legal experts, medical providers, and advocates to analyze the legal doctrines at play and imagine a more just framework for youth bodily autonomy.

Description: This panel examines the constitutional and statutory frameworks that govern young people’s ability to make decisions about their own bodies. Legal scholars will explore the tension between parental rights doctrines and minors’ rights to privacy and bodily autonomy, tracing how courts have historically balanced these competing interests—and how that balance is shifting in a post-Dobbs landscape. Panelists will interrogate the expanding use of parental control as a tool of state regulation over youth health care.

Panelists will analyze abstinence-only education mandates, consent and confidentiality barriers, and the cascading effects of Planned Parenthood closures on youth access to preventive care. With a focus on the legal and political frameworks that enable or restrict young people’s access to care, the discussion will highlight how limiting information and services increase health risks and undermine young people’s autonomy.

February 26: Regulatory Uncertainty: Navigating the New Legal Landscape

Join us for the Bloomberg Law In-House Forum, a premier virtual event designed to equip senior in-house counsel with strategic insights for navigating the rapidly evolving regulatory landscape of 2026.
In the past year, many of the certainties and assumptions underlying the work of corporate legal departments were disrupted. Executive orders have reshaped policy areas traditionally defined by Congress, we have seen an unprecedented level of activism by state attorney generals, and tensions between lower courts and the Supreme Court are running high. The autonomy of government agencies faces scrutiny amidst budget constraints and politicized leadership.
In this volatile legal environment, businesses increasingly rely on their general counsel to assess emergent risks, interpret evolving compliance obligations, and navigate the implications for their organizations. Don’t miss this opportunity to ensure your organization is well-positioned to navigate this time of legal and regulatory transformation.
Who should attend:
  • All members of in-house legal teams—from general counsel to senior and staff attorneys—engaged in AI governance, privacy, labor and employment, and regulatory compliance.
  • The Press Is Invited: This program is on-the-record and open to media.

Speaker:
Jon Tynjala, Esq., Executive Director, Lawyers Concerned for Lawyers
Description:
This course is designed to educate attorneys about the interplay between isolation and loneliness in legal practice and mental health difficulties including substance use disorder, depression, and anxiety. In 2023, the U.S. Surgeon General issued an advisory identifying loneliness and isolation as an urgent public health challenge requiring immediate attention. This course examines the legal professional’s structures that support social connection—colleagues, firm co‑workers, organizations, and the profession—and shows how the structure, function, and quality of those connections work for or against attorney well‑being.
Notably, poor or insufficient social connection is associated with increased risk of anxiety, depression, substance use disorder, and suicide. This course will rely on studies showing that legal practice is the loneliest type of work, greatly increasing the risk to lawyers of suffering from these disorders. The statistics already put lawyers at much higher risk of problematic drinking, depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, and high levels of stress. Each of these factors will be discussed as it specifically relates to legal practice.
In addition, numerous traits of lawyers fuel isolation—including perfectionism, pessimism, skepticism, low resilience, secondary trauma, and low sociability. Each of these factors will be explored. The ethical impact of isolation will be addressed, as well as the relationship between impairment and attorney discipline. Finally, the program will outline the benefits of connection both professionally and personally, offering strategies to enhance workplace and personal connection, including consultation with LCL, EAPs, and other resources that assist attorneys and their staff with these complicated issues.

January 22: Don’t Click That! Cybersecurity for Legal Professionals

Law firms have increasingly become a prime target for cyberattacks. And, between fielding hundreds of emails and countless unhinged client phone calls, it is not surprising that overworked lawyers and staff are the weakest links. From phishing emails and ransomware to hacked Wi-Fi, the risks to legal professionals grow every day. Yet many lawyers feel like this is someone else’s problem, or that it will never happen to them (although the data proves otherwise).
In this eye-opening CLE, attorney Jordan Turk will demystify cybersecurity for the modern law practice. You’ll learn how to recognize common threats, implement practical safeguards, and meet your ethical duty of competence, without needing an IT degree.
Key Takeaways:
  • The most common cyber threats targeting law firms (and how hackers actually get in)
  • Step-by-step tips to secure your devices, email, and client files
  • How to create a firm-wide security culture that helps satisfy your ethical obligations

January 14: Global Public Health Law: A Transdisciplinary Approach

As traditionally conceived, public health law focuses primarily on what lawyers do—counseling public health agencies and litigating disputes. By contrast, the transdisciplinary model of public health law seeks to connect lawyers, scientists, public health practitioners, and others in a shared effort to
(a) understand and quantify the critical (yet often unseen) role that law plays in shaping population health, and 
(b) develop, advocate for, implement, and evaluate evidence-based legal interventions to prevent disease and reduce injuries. 
This presentation will discuss a forthcoming book Professor Berman is co-authoring that connects this transdisciplinary approach to Global Public Health Law. As the book defines it, Global Public Health Law is the use of the law as a tool to protect and advance population health in jurisdictions around the globe—encompassing everything from local laws to international agreements. Using a wide range of public health topics as examples, the book examines how laws and institutions at the local, national, regional, and international levels intersect and influence one another, and how they ultimately contribute (positively or negatively) to health outcomes.
