The federal antitrust laws are a longstanding and overriding national policy in favor of competition that has been affirmed and reaffirmed by Congress time and again, and federal law is the supreme law of the land. But then sometimes it isn’t: states have the power to regulate economic activity, and they sometimes do so in ways that are anticompetitive (and sometimes allow private parties to do anticompetitive things). This course covers the most commonly-implicated doctrines when there is state involvement in anticompetitive conduct.
The art of jury selection, commonly known as voir dire, plays a pivotal role in shaping trial outcomes. This course delves into the essential do's and don'ts of voir dire, equipping legal professionals with the knowledge and skills to conduct effective jury selection.

Participants will explore key concepts, such as the constitutional rights of potential jurors, challenges for cause, and peremptory challenges, enabling them to navigate the complexities of voir dire with confidence.
This course will also address how to craft compelling questions, establish rapport with prospective jurors, and identify potential biases and prejudices. Additionally, techniques for active listening and non-verbal communication will be explored to enhance the effectiveness of voir dire. Whether you are a seasoned litigator or a budding attorney, this course will empower you to select the most favorable jury for your client's case and enhance your overall trial advocacy skills.

I once heard that the legal profession is like a pie-eating contest where the prize is more pie. As lawyers, the more work that you get done, the more pie, or work, that you are assigned. If young lawyers do not learn how to manage their time and case load effectively, this can be a source of stress, anxiety, and overwhelm throughout their entire careers. This presentation discusses what time management is, why lawyers should care about time management and discusses various methods and techniques lawyers can use to get organized. This course will discuss why multi-tasking is not effective, why procrastination seems so satisfying in the moment, and how to break the habit loops that can keep lawyers stuck. By the end of this presentation, the participants will have several tools to utilize to become more productive and manage their legal practice and lives more effectively.
Cannabis businesses continue to require capital, but face many additional hurdles that most companies in other industries don’t have to address.

Attorney Aaron Solomon and MBA and chaplain Meredith Parfet discuss the critical role of storytelling in communications, whether as a persuasive tool for lawyers, or as a component of crisis management for their clients. This course covers the cultural and cognitive role that storytelling plays, as well as ways it has been incorporated into legal pleadings, its excision from complaints under the Federal Rules, and its slow return. It then addresses the centrality of storytelling for clients, including such issues as the importance of controlling a public narrative, communicating with friends and family, and the danger of trying to stay totally silent. It presents concrete tools for finding and telling a story, such as a message map, stakeholder analysis, and message funnel.

One of the challenges faced when attempting to treat or assist an individual suffering from a mental illness is a lack of insight into having such an illness. The individual may deny suffering from a mental illness and therefore refuse treatment or the assistance of a family member or loved one, insisting that he/she can function independently, despite evidence to the contrary. The individual may prevent others from accessing medical and financial information, thereby making it impossible to speak to care providers and financial institutions to protect, advocate and plan for the future. Even if the individual has the capacity to sign advance directives such as a Power of Attorney or Health Care Proxy, he/she can either refuse to do so or revoke those documents after execution. The circumstances might require a more restrictive type of intervention.

the forensic report.
Federal requirements, unique processes and, in general, dealings with the United States government as a sovereign actor in connection with U.S. federal procurement matters can put government contracts attorneys in difficult positions when advising clients.The post-pandemic rise of remote and hybrid work has only exacerbated issues in some of these areas. This course explores common ethical issues faced by government contracts lawyers and suggest strategies for mitigating risk of noncompliance. Through exploration of commonly occurring factual scenarios, we will assess the potential ethical issue(s), analyze relevant Model Rules guidance, and discuss best practices for how to handle these situations when they arise. As is evident, for some of these matters there is no “one size fits all" approach, but careful attention on the front end to potential ethical challenges is essential.
In-house lawyers are subject to the same ethics rules that govern all attorneys, but some attorneys become in-house counsel with the mistaken belief that legal ethics rules will be less problematic for them. This may be because they only represent one company and thus have few clients, or they act in a capacity other than a lawyer, for example, as vice president of a company. This program will introduce important ethics principles and rules that in-house counsel should be aware of. It will cover the Rule 1 series of the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct.
Electronic communications and e-signatures have amplified the speed and number of contracts entered into everyday. The rapid changes in technology have also imposed rapid changes on a legal system that is traditionally slow to adapt - the Uniform Electronic Transaction Act has been implemented in almost every state for close to 20 years, yet many attorneys still insist on printing, signing and scanning signature pages. In this CLE course, attorney and eDiscovery specialist Aaron Cronan will cover some of the most important implications for contract formation and enforcement in the digital age. He will focus on a legislation overview, electronic signatures, Statute of Frauds, UCC, assent of the parties, Browser/Clickwrap, and best practices.
