    Webinar- CLE Pass Eligible
    Thursday, Mar 19 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM (Eastern Daylight Time)

    Lawyers routinely push through high-demand periods — trials, deadlines, year-end pressures, and the cumulative load of constant availability. This 1-hour program offers practical, science-backed strategies for “skillful recovery”: how to reset after intense workload, rebuild cognitive capacity, and re-enter work with clarity and control. Drawing from research on attention, stress physiology, and healthy boundaries, participants will learn realistic tools they can apply immediately to sustain performance and wellbeing.

Our panelists will discuss the impact of Loper Bright on EEOC, DOL, and NLRB guidance, early post-Loper Bright decisions and emerging judicial trends/approaches, and what may lie ahead for administrative and employment law.

    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.
