    State and Local Government Procurement Demystified: How Does the Government Buy? (EDU260325)
    Webinar - CLE Pass Eligible
    Wednesday, Mar 25 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM (Eastern Daylight Time)

    The supply chain is no longer a foreign concept to most Americans - we all experienced the 2020 pandemic and the consequences that echoed through the economy for many years to come. What may still be foreign to many, including attorneys, is how the government buys the goods and services they need to provide for their citizens. State and local procurement does not follow one set of rules like the federal government, but they do pursue the same goals - open, fair, and transparent competition for business opportunities with the government. Basic knowledge of those government contracting processes could be beneficial in many areas of legal practice.

    Updates to the Connecticut Data Privacy Act (ECS260325)
    Webinar- CLE Pass Eligible
    Wednesday, Mar 25 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM (Eastern Daylight Time)

    Connecticut’s Data Privacy Act (CDPA) has expanded significantly in recent years, evolving into a comprehensive consumer data privacy law with broad reach and minimal exceptions. Notably, certain categories of data defined as “sensitive” trigger obligations without any applicability threshold. Many Connecticut businesses, including law practices, routinely collect or process data covered by the CDPA, but few are aware of the law’s scope and the compliance requirements it imposes. This program will attempt to demystify the expanded CT Data Privacy Act, explain which data types and business activities are covered, and outline the practical steps organizations must take to comply. Attendees will gain a clear understanding of their obligations, common pitfalls, and how to reduce regulatory and enforcement risk in a rapidly changing privacy landscape.

    The Invisible Sentence: Mastering Collateral Consequences and Clean Slate- Part 2 (EYL260331)
    Webinar- CLE Pass Eligible
    Tuesday, Mar 31 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM (Eastern Daylight Time)

    A criminal conviction is often just the beginning of a lifetime of hidden penalties. While the court closes the case file, the "invisible sentence" of collateral consequences—housing bans, employment barriers, and loss of benefits—begins. Join us in this second installment of a three-part segment to learn from a criminal judge, an assistant state’s attorney, an assistant public defender, and a public defender social worker/advocate. Our expert panel will provide actionable tools you can use to effectively advise your clients pre-plea about the direct, life-altering consequences of a conviction on their immediate future.
