Program Description
Employment law is one of the fastest-evolving areas of law. It has many facets and they are in constant flux, making it tough for an employment law attorney to keep up.
To help you keep apprised of the latest developments in employment law, the CBA Labor and Employment Law Section, the Asian Pacific American Bar Association, and CBA-CLE proudly present, “Hot Topics in Employment Law”!
Your day begins with a fascinating “point-counterpoint” analysis of the holding in the Ricci v. DeStefano case, which has important implications for both employers and employees in the area of disparate treatment and impact discrimination claims.
Next, you will enjoy a practical explanation of how employers can and cannot use data gathered from social networking web sites.
The next three segments of the program dig into the details of the increasingly contested issues of non-compete agreements and trade secret information. As more and more employers lay off workers, this area of employment law is becoming more important to both employers and employees.
Finally, you will enjoy an update on the recent Americans with Disabilities Act amendments.
The program faculty includes veteran practitioners from both the plaintiff and defense sides of the employment law bar, ensuring a high-quality, balanced educational experience.
Topics
The Holding in Ricci v. DeStefano: What is the Impact on Employers and Employees?
What do you do when the U. S. Supreme Court splits 5-4 in its holding in a heavily-watched employment law case that may have an impact on both “disparate treatment” and “disparate impact” discrimination claims? Analyze it from both the plaintiff and defense sides, of course!
In this fun and illuminating segment of the program, Professor Melissa Hart, of the University of Colorado Law School, will argue the plaintiff's view in Ricci and attorney Bill Berger will argue the defense's view. Their arguments will tease out the facts and legal fallout from this case, including possible impacts on reductions in force, employer practices and procedures, limitations on the use of statistics in creating a defense, and the possibility of new defenses.
