Overview

Why you should attend

The courts, Congress and state and local legislatures, are constantly adding to, revising and re-inventing the rules governing employment discrimination.  This does nothing to diminish either the volume of workplace claims that are brought and litigated in the courts or the complexity of those claims and cases.

Any attorney or human resources professional who advises or represents employers, employees, labor unions or government, or who has judicial/arbitral/mediator responsibility, must keep abreast of changes in the employment discrimination arena, and must also be aware of cutting-edge developments on the litigation front.  This program, designed for employment law practitioners and human resources professionals at all levels, brings together prominent practitioners from the management and plaintiffs’ bars, representatives from the ACLU and members of the judiciary, to analyze and provide practical guidance regarding the latest developments in the employment discrimination arena. 

What you will learn

  • New laws and new rulings that can affect the advice you give, the strategies you choose, and the settlements you propose
  • What judges think about lawyers’ approaches to discovery, settlement and trial techniques
  • Recent developments in disabilities discrimination and litigation
  • Lesser known/emerging discrimination claims
  • New legislation concerning bullying and whistleblowing
