April 2: Expanding Access through Digital Accessibility in Minnesota's State Courts

The ability to access justice is a fundamental right. For individuals with disabilities, online systems and documents that are not digitally accessible are often a barrier to accessing that right in modern court systems.
The U.S. Department of Justice enacted regulations implementing the ADA governing the web accessibility of state and local governments. The Minnesota Judicial Branch is making changes to improve accessibility for all in compliance with these regulations.
This CLE will cover what digital accessibility is, what is new or different that you may expect to see when interacting with the courts, and how you can help eliminate these barriers by enhancing the accessibility of your own filings with some practical tips.

January 15: AI and Its Place In Legal Practice

This program is presented to raise awareness of a growing ethical issue regarding the use of technology in the practice of law. For many, especially those of us licensed before the significant technology boom that occurred post-2000, the use and misuse of technology has exposed the disconnect between the availability of technology and the necessity of education of the proper use of it in our practices. Nowhere is this more obvious than in the more recent expansion of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in all aspects of the practice of law.
This is not a primer in what AI programs are available, which ones may be better or worse for law offices, or how to use a particular AI product. The purpose is to drive home the necessity of each and every practitioner to become educated in the proper use of technology and the consequences of misusing it, with an emphasis on the proliferation of the use of AI.
The presenter anticipates that the participants in this program will offer their own experiences to illustrate this issue in real time.

January 29: Terminating a Construction Project Before Completion: Do’s, Don’ts, Claims & Litigation Webinar

Description:
Construction is expensive, and the spectrum of professional practice varies wildly. While some professionals uphold the industry’s gold standards, others can be disappointing at best and criminally negligent at worst. In some cases, a judgement call must be made to terminate a project prior to completion. Unfortunately, this process is usually expensive and complicated.
It is possible to ease the stress of ending a project by using a standard structure that considers the contract documents, construction industry standards, and the “iron triangle” (scope, budget, and schedule with quality at the core) of project management. This structure does not magically make termination quick and cheap, but it does make the process as efficient and painless as possible. No matter what stage of a construction project-gone-bad you are in, remember you are not trapped. You can always negotiate from a position of strength.
"Terminating a Construction Project Before Completion" is for everyone involved in the business of building or buildings, including property owners & managers, governmental organizations, developers, contractors, insurers, lawyers, and anyone else caught up in the headaches of a project that has gone wrong or has already been terminated. The course will explain the roles and responsibilities of the different parties who contribute to a construction project, teach our Construction Claim Analysis framework, and review case studies that demonstrate successful project termination from the perspective of both owners and subcontractors.
