Voting Rights Litigation Today: Strategies for Moving from Voter Suppression to Election Protection (Throughout July 2021)

Across the country, and especially in the Deep South, a concerted assault on voting rights is taking place. Since the Supreme Court struck down a key provision of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 – one of the most successful pieces of civil rights legislation designed to increase voter registration, turnout, and fair electoral schemes – we have seen a proliferation of policies that do just the opposite. Georgia and Florida have passed severe voter restrictions following the historic 2020 elections, Alabama has enacted onerous photo ID requirements, counties continue to close polling places at an alarming rate, and state legislators in general are erecting burdensome voter eligibility requirements. The Supreme Court also has upheld extreme forms of partisan gerrymandering and approved of discriminatory voter purge procedures. In response, the Southern Poverty Law Center and partner organizations have mounted a massive campaign to challenge these regressive policies, improve access to the ballot box, and demand government accountability. This course will address these issues and many more as we gear up for the 2021 redistricting cycle and 2022 mid-term election season.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify the key federal voting rights cases recently decided or currently before the federal courts, including a pending decision before the Supreme Court regarding the Voting Rights Act's scope of coverage
• Discuss legal theories and strategies from plaintiffs' and defendants' perspectives in litigating these kinds of cases
• Suggest techniques for incorporating civic education and media tools in shaping the public narrative around voting as a right rather than a privilege.

April 20: Navigating Real Estate Issues for Cannabis Businesses

Cannabis licenses are location specific, and every state agency governing the issuance of cannabis licenses requires applicants to demonstrate “site control”, typically in the form of a lease, deed, or enforceable option to purchase. 

As a result, prospective cannabis business operators often face a funding conundrum - it is frequently difficult to fund a business without a license, but one cannot obtain a license without real estate, which requires some funding.

 Whether to purchase or lease real estate becomes a critical decision for any operator. The Company’s ability to secure Real Estate – a hard asset -- against financing must be carefully balanced against maintaining sufficient liquidity to sustain operations.
This program, presented by Katy Young, Managing Partner of Ad Astra Law Group, LLP, President of the International Cannabis Bar Association, and Lauren Rudick, co-founder of Hiller P.C.’s Cannabis Practice, will provide examples of creative solutions to resolving these threshold real estate focused application requirements. The discussion will cover how to “cannabis-ize” a traditional lease by including, among other things: an explicit permitted use and applicable regulations; ensuring compliance with state (not federal) law; subjecting landlord rights of reentry and possession to regulatory requirements, building in flexibility to comply with regulatory requirements regarding, among other things, garbage disposal, signage, parking, lighting, ADA compliance, and heightened tenant diligence requirements, as well as reviewing site control within the context of an operator’s short and long-term financing strategy.
Learning Objectives:

• Discuss how real estate impacts and affects the state cannabis licensing process
• Identify the clauses that must be included in a real estate lease for a cannabis business
• Leverage real estate in a cannabis business financing plan

Topics covered in this course:

• Cannabis
• Real Estate

December 2019: How to Craft A Global Social Media Policy

Social media has transformed society, and that includes interactions between employers and employees, interactions among co-workers, and staff interactions with the outside world.

No organization can predict when its next employee —or its latest ex-employee—will “go viral” with a post linking the company to controversial political positions, criticizing the business on an internet review site, chat room or blog, taunting a supervisor, harassing a subordinate, spreading rumors or lies about the brand, disparaging company products, leaking trade secrets, or haplessly touting company products in a way that violates advertising laws.
In today’s social media environment, multinationals need a harmonized global approach regarding employee social media activity, but multi-jurisdictional legal challenges arise whenever a multinational employer crafts, launches, implements, and enforces a social media policy across its worldwide operations. Global social media policy projects can get complex because they must comply with inconsistent laws worldwide. This session offers practical strategies and how-to guidance for crafting or updating a workable cross-jurisdictional social media policy.
Learning Objectives:

• Identify when or whether a single global approach to an employee social media policy is appropriate to apply across a multinational’s global operations
• Explore how to account for U.S. domestic labor law restrictions in a global social media policy
• Discuss off-duty social media activity, including off-site and on employees’ own tech equipment, in a global social media policy
• Examine what topics a global social media policy should cover
• Recognize what logistical steps are necessary to launch an enforceable social media policy worldwide.

Insurance Recovery in the Face of Natural Disasters

Lawline is very generously offering a free CLE for attorneys who are providing assistance to victims of the devastation wrought by Hurricane Dorian in the Bahamas and along the east coast of the United States. The program focuses on insurance issues for businesses, and also covers general insurance policy issues in the aftermath of natural disasters.

For businesses in the path of the storm, maximizing insurance recovery requires assessing not only physical damage to their property but also income losses stemming from flooded and blocked roads and bridges, interrupted shipping and air transport, evacuations, and closures by civil authority. Beyond the area of immediate impact, businesses suffering from supply chain disruptions should look to their property insurance policies for contingent business interruption coverage, triggered when policyholders do not themselves suffer physical damage but still lose revenue after a property loss sidelines a major supplier or customer.

Join Anderson Kill’s Marshall Gilinsky and Ronald J. Papa as they explore the role of insurance and the hurdles to recovery in times of natural disaster. 

Learning Objectives:

• Detail the triggers of time-element coverage
• Identify the full range of losses that affected businesses need to document
• Address the nuances of policy language that may become bones of contention
• Develop techniques for ensuring that the insurance company fulfills its obligations during the claims process
