As more and more physicians and other healthcare practitioners enter the workforce, employers, whether they are hospitals, clinics or private practices, are updating their employment contracts to be more restrictive against practitioners. It is important when reviewing these contracts, not only to confirm that the terms of the offer are correctly included within the contract, but that practitioners will not be prevented from practicing within their field and/or within a reasonable area should their employment be terminated. In order to negotiate on their behalf, you need to understand the language utilized within the industry, including HIPAA, billing procedures, payment structures and restrictive covenants. This course will provide you with an overview of the key aspects, clauses and terms common to healthcare employment agreements. You’ll have a better understanding of whether the contract terms are reasonable in their scope, whether practitioners will have the ability to continue to provide services should they leave the employment and how to identify missing language that should be included in order to protect the practitioner.

The Fourth Amendment’s vague directive, which prohibits the government from conducting unreasonable searches and seizures, has been subject to perpetual (re)interpretation since the Founding Era.

In this course, we will analyze how the U.S. Supreme Court (and other courts) has applied Fourth Amendment protections in resolving novel legal questions. We will also explore unresolved legal issues that courts are facing or will likely face soon. Participants in this course will gain an understanding of how Fourth Amendment law has recently changed and how the amendment’s protections might apply to individuals today.

The pretrial playing field has changed markedly over the last three decades, moving the battleground from the jury to the gauntlets that leave a judge with discretion to eliminate or trim a case before it even sees a jury. Standards governing motions to dismiss, summary judgment, experts, the breadth of discovery, and even class certification are the battlegrounds that often determine the fate of a case. Against this backdrop, technology - including the internet and the ability to create real-time recordings of events - has markedly changed the availability and quantity of evidence. Selecting the most compelling evidence - or deselecting evidence is a new challenge in addition to the age-old skill of constructing a narrative that glues the theories in place.
