Who should attend?
All bankruptcy practitioners should attend this day-long event, which will cover a broad range of consumer & commercial topics, including student loans and real property issues, healthcare bankruptcies, and disgorgement of fees. Student loan issues, both in and out of bankruptcy, are quickly becoming a hot topic item, and attendees will get to hear from “THE Student Loan Lawyer,” Joshua Cohen, who is a true expert in his field. A case law update will also be included, as well as an hour of ethics in the form of a debate\hearing.
F-56: Labor & Employment Law: The Present State and the Future
Co-chairs: Kathryn Hackett King, Magdalena Osborn, Jennifer Phillips
Who should attend this seminar?
Both in-house and private practitioners who routinely deal with labor and employment law issues.
What is the one main takeaway a lawyer will gain by attending this seminar?
A record-number of legal seminars are on offer at the 2016 State Bar of Arizona Convention.
Labor and employment law is constantly developing due to new administrative regulations, state and federal legislative action, the Supreme Court’s input, and of course, new judicial rules and procedures. This seminar educates attendees about some of biggest changes, and how they affect our day-to-day practice.
How is this seminar timely? (That is: Why do attorneys need to learn more about this topic right now? What’s going on now in the world or in law practice that makes this topic important?)
The “the rules of the game” in labor and employment law change from one day to the next. Staying up-to-date on these changes is the key to providing quality legal services.
What is the most common misconception about this issue? In other words, what do lawyers think they know, but don’t?
Some legal changes have a grace period allowing people time to adjust—others do not. It would be a mistake to “wait and see” before working with clients to ensure compliance.
