This interactive workshop is designed to help attorneys manage the ongoing pressures of legal practice, including emotionally intense client interactions, workload and billable hour demands, and challenges maintaining sustainable work-life boundaries. Grounded in direct feedback from Connecticut attorneys, the training focuses on practical communication and boundary skills attorneys can apply immediately, even within ethical, institutional, and role based constraints. Rather than offering general wellness guidance, this workshop emphasizes concrete tools for responding effectively under pressure while maintaining professionalism and ethical integrity. Participants will engage in applied learning through discussion and guided role play using realistic, attorney specific scenarios.

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.

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 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.

The evening will begin with networking from 6:00 pm – 6:30 pm, followed by a one-hour panel presentation exploring the Supreme Court’s decision in Loper Bright, its doctrinal shift away from Chevron deference, and how courts, agencies, and practitioners have navigated this new landscape in the past year and a half, particularly in the employment and labor contexts. 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.
