    Civil ATJ Speaker Series: The Future of Access to Justice (EAJ260929)
    Webinar
    Tuesday, Sep 29 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM (Eastern Daylight Time)

    American faces a deep, urgent, and persistent crisis in access to civil justice. For decades, familiar approaches have fallen far short of meeting the scale and complexity of people's justice needs. A different future requires justice that is people-centered, evidence-based, outcome-focused, and grounded in the democratic principle that justice belongs to everyone. Sandefur will share highlights from empirical research on how people experience and resolve civil justice problems and what it will take to meet their needs more effectively, including emerging solutions such as efforts to expand and diversify the justice workforce. This work offers a vision for building a more accessible, effective, and democratic system of justice.

    This program will cover how to set-up legal instruments in Microsoft Word the right way - whether you're creating a new document or editing an existing one. If a document is set-up correctly, it always responds to editing the way you want it to, the formatting remains perfect, and you never have to figure out why your formatting goes sideways because It never does.

    Regardless of How It’s Branded: Bias, Power, and the Law (EDU261008A)
    Zoom Meeting - CLE Pass Eligible
    Thursday, Oct 8 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM (Eastern Daylight Time)

    This session examines how bias operates today, not through overt exclusion, but inside the ordinary language of legal risk management, and inside the ordinary language of enforcement itself. Drawing on the presenter's consulting work advising corporate general counsel through the current wave of DEI-related enforcement, this session traces six years of employer decision-making, adoption, retrenchment, and litigation, from 2020 through mid-2026, and gives attorneys a working test for telling real legal risk apart from bias dressed as compliance, in either direction. The session uses live, contested litigation as its central case study, including a motion currently pending in federal court that itself rests on a compliance defense, to show how enforcement actions can turn on close legal analysis rather than assumption alone.
