September 21: Webcast+Cleveland - The Present And Future of Reproductive Rights #MCLE

This lecture will analyze the state of reproductive rights following the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in the case Whole Woman's Health v. Hellerstedt.

In 2013, the Texas legislature passed House Bill 2, a law that imposed numerous restrictions on access to abortion services in the state through additional legal requirements for medical staff and facilities. The law, which was challenged in federal court, would result in the closure of an estimated 75 percent of all women’s health clinics that provide abortion services in the state and force women seeking those services to travel hundreds of miles as a result.

In addition to analyzing the immediate impacts of the Supreme Court’s decision in Whole Woman's Health v. Hellerstedt, the lecture will also review the vast slate of abortion restrictions enacted at the state level in recent years and consider the implications of the current Court's jurisprudence for abortion legislation in the future.

September 12: DC - Integrity or Intimidation?: Voter Challengers and Election Day Observer

On September 12, the American Constitution Society will host a panel discussion on the issues and interests surrounding voter challengers and Election Day observers. Where is the line between acceptable poll watching and voter intimidation? What are the rights of poll watchers, and do they conflict with the right of voters? What kinds of voter challenges does the law allow, and should it allow more or less? Does the possibility of voter fraud justify the risk of voter intimidation that such challenges create? Join us as a panel of experts discusses these and other issues that will arise as the November election approaches.

October 13: Webcast - If You’re Not on Facebook You’re Committing Malpractice #MCLE

Can you imagine cross-examining a witness about a telephone call if you’d never used a telephone before? It sounds ridiculous, but that’s precisely where many attorneys find themselves today when it comes to social media. With most of the population now using one or more of these tools to communicate, it’s increasingly dangerous for attorneys to blithely ignore social media and other developing technologies.
Lawyers who attend this webinar will learn about:

• The growing number of ethics opinions addressing social media, and the obligation of attorneys to be familiar with them.
• How to think about counseling clients on use of social media during a pending matter — and the attorney’s own use.
• The intersection between competency requirements and changes in law office technology.

September 20: NYC - Follow the Money: Fighting Cybercrime in the Digital Underworld #MCLE

Cybercrime is a business. While some hackers engage in cyberattacks to steal state secrets or to engage in sabotage for political purposes, a significant portion of the attacks that plague American companies and individuals are motivated by money. Whether the perpetrators are Eastern European organized crime groups or actors linked to the Chinese military in ways that may be obscure, the goal is often to turn a profit. Deterring these actors means not only trying to keep them out of our systems and networks in the first place, but also making it as difficult as possible for them to raise, move, store, and use funds. This event will shed light on ways that the government and private sector are working to disrupt the flow of funds that powers the digital underground.
