Connecticut (CT) General Practice CLE Course Catalog

Feeling overwhelmed by the COVID -19 pandemic? Need to get a grasp on your new remote office? Join this one-hour work session on how to survive the COVID-19 pandemic and future disasters by moving into a paperless workflow.

The Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is at the forefront of everyone's mind. Federal, state and local emergencies have been declared, sports and entertainment events are being cancelled, schools and universities are closing, and employers and unions are grappling with questions on how to continue business operations while protecting employees and limiting the spread of the virus in the workplace and community.

When a client asks you (or, when you ask yourself), "when should I take my Social Security retirement benefit?" will you know how to answer that question? This session will help you learn how to respond to that question. There is no "one size fits all." However, you will learn how to approach the subject and guide your client to an answer that will meet the client's goals.

Students and young lawyers often use an "ad hoc" approach treating "every problem as a different problem." Since I have needed to teach students who have never done transactional law how to begin working on complex projects very quickly, I have tried to create a teachable, universal approach to beginning transactional assignments. This approach I will teach holds true whether the solution requires a client call, an internal/external memo, drafting a contract, or prosecuting intellectual property (copyright, trademark, or patent registrations).

This presentation focuses on the main concepts of privacy law, exploring domestic and international laws.

This program is for 0-3 year attorneys who have never experienced transactional law (and maybe even never worked in a law office) to rethink the "litigation-first" perspective that gets ingrained during law school. For a large number of law students interested in working with business transactions, as in-house counsel, in IP prosecution, licensing, etc., we want to provide guidance for what you should be thinking about on your first day of an internship, your first day at a job, or your first day running your own firm. These are tips to distinguish yourself on your first day even if you don't have any direct transactional experience.

Please join a distinguished panel who will share their thoughts on how best to safely and gradually re-open business across America.

Given the huge increase in filings lately and the increase in the debt limit after the passage of the Family Farmer Relief Act, the webinar would like to provide more information to consumer and small business lawyers who might be interested in expanding into Chapter 12 practice.

Hear from leading bankruptcy practitioners on how they used litigation finance, the benefits and potential concerns in litigation and litigation trusts arising from the Great Recession and how litigation finance can be a tool as we confront the economic fall-out from the COVID-19 pandemic.
