Description:
"Can they do that?”
Legal professionals are getting questions - or perhaps they are even wondering themselves - as federal immigration authorities have become more visible, frequent, and forceful presences in local communities.
This one-hour virtual lunch-and-learn session will focus on immigration enforcement and the related question: When does lawful protesting cross the line?
Our panel of all-stars will discuss issues related to First Amendment and Second Amendment rights such as: 
  • What have courts held to be protected forms of protest? 
  • What crosses the line, and does it matter if a protester is carrying a registered firearm? 
  • How can lawyers be Legal Observers in the moment?

If you have questions for the panel, please send them ahead of time to ambassadors@wsba.org. We want to make sure our short time together is jam-packed with the information you need! .

Panelists will also discuss the role of lawyers as Legal Observers, practical guidance for advising community members, and how legal professionals can respond to increased immigration enforcement activity. This session is part of the WSBA Rule of Law Ambassador Program’s ongoing effort to equip legal professionals to counter misinformation, build public trust, and support the rule of law.

March 12: Cyber Law and Cybersecurity Insurance 101

With data breaches and security incidents happening daily, it is not a matter of IF you will experience a cybersecurity incident, but WHEN. Cybersecurity threats are growing in scale and complexity and virtually every company in all industries face growing cyber risks. As cybersecurity laws and regulations unfold and consumer lawsuits become the norm, cybersecurity remains a top concern for businesses, including the C-suite. Although there is no substitute for strong cybersecurity management, businesses often look to cybersecurity insurance policies as the last line of defense. However, cyber policies are complex, often confusing, and the cyber insurance landscape is still evolving. 
This 60-minute seminar will provide an update on the current state of Cyber Law, including data breaches and privacy issues; current litigation; cybersecurity laws and regulations; cybersecurity insurance coverage with practical tips on key issues and risks to consider when purchasing a cybersecurity policy; recent trends; and available cyber resources.

Can they do that?”
Legal professionals are getting questions—or perhaps they are even wondering themselves—as federal immigration authorities have become more visible, frequent, and forceful presences in local communities. 
This one-hour virtual lunch-and-learn session will focus on immigration enforcement and overlapping legal jurisdictions. Our panel of experts will discuss the interplay between federal, state, and local laws, and where conflicts are likely to arise and how they are likely to be resolved. 
The panel will consider questions such as: 
  • How are law-enforcement officers prepared to interact with ICE agents? 
  • What happens when Washington passes “sanctuary” laws or other limitations on federal immigration actions? 
  • Do ICE agents have total immunity? 
Come find out—and if you have questions for the panel, please send them ahead of time to ambassadors@wsba.org. We want to make sure our short time together is jam-packed with the information you need!

  • Moderator: Terra Nevitt, Washington State Bar Association, Seattle, WA
