Hours – 0.5 Professional Practice / 1.0 Diversity, Inclusion and Elimination of Bias
First proposed almost a century ago and pasnal Practice / 1.0 Diversity, Inclusion and Elimination of Biassed by Congress in 1972, the Federal constitutional amendment — whose main clause reads, “Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex” — has sweeping implications. For women, it would bolster pay equity, domestic violence laws and pregnancy discrimination protections, among many other things. It could also affect men, such as by guaranteeing paid paternity leave equal to maternity leave. Panelists will discuss the implications and history of the ERA, including legal challenges opposing a Federal constitutional change; the current political climate and its impact on ratification; and the current legislative efforts in New York to pass a state constitutional amendment to enshrine protections against gender discrimination.

Hours – 0.5 Practice Mangement / 1.0 Areas of Professional Practice
At a time where there is so much uncertainty, one thing that is certain is that our lives will forever be altered by COVID-19. This is especially true in the workplace. Many employers were understandably unprepared for the challenges they faced when the stay-at-home orders were issued. Now that businesses are slowly re-opening and employers are considering bringing employees back to the workplace, changes should be made to company handbooks, policies and procedures to ensure a safe workplace for everyone and to prepare in the event of future shutdowns. This webinar will address anticipated changes to workplaces and how employers can inform employees of such changes by updating their policies and procedures prior to bringing their employees back to work.

To counteract this, we must strive for cultural competemility, which is dedicating ourselves to cultural humility toward an end goal of cultural competence. This CLE will help define the big terms surrounding diversity to enable better discussions and help you identify your own implicit biases. Most importantly, you will walk away with strategies for interrupting our own biases and practical tips for working with specific marginalized groups.

Prenuptial agreements are becoming ever more popular even as most people recognize that a prenup often hurts the relationship and can even cause its very destruction. In many instances a prenup in New York accomplishes nothing, so there is no reason to incur its serious risks. Yet, in other instances, a prenup might actually be needed. In this presentation, the speaker will discuss when a prenup is not necessary and when it is, the harms a typical prenup causes, and how to prepare and negotiate one so that it improves, rather than harms, the betrotheds’ relationship.

There are over 35,000 collateral consequences to the criminal conviction throughout the United States. They can range from voting and housing restrictions, denial of bank loans, and employment and educational license denial. Despite these ongoing issues, many practitioners fail to appreciate the great work that can be done in the post-conviction arena to help their clients move forward in their lives. This CLE will look at the overall picture of collateral consequences, explore the obligations under Kentucky v. Padilla, and review the various types of post-conviction relief that is instrumental in helping post-conviction clients achieve their goals, particularly certificates of relief from civil disabilities, certificates of good conduct, and sealing motions. Attendants will get a thorough review of each type of relief available, including the forms and tips on enhancing their clients’ applications.

As accusations and allegations of sexual harassment continue to make headlines, employers, educators, attorneys, and courts must answer a fundamental question, What IS sexual harassment, anyway? This program offers an overview of the changing landscape of sexual harassment law, focusing on current, often conflicting, legal standards imposed by recent changes to both state and federal law: the New York Human Rights Law (Executive Law §§ 290 et seq.), Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 USC §§ 2000e et seq.; 29 CFR Part 1601), and, most controversially, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 (20 USC §§ 1681 et seq.; 34 CFR Part 106), recently implemented regulations which explicitly apply to employment in specific contexts. Thorough jurisprudence has been applied to only one of these statutes in their current iterations, leaving litigants and policy-makers and litigators with questions that remain to be explored.

During the past two decades, the concept of parenthood has been dramatically redefined. Shared custody has been normalized. Gender roles are in flux, but also evolving are assisted reproductive technologies and laws addressing parenting options and reproductive rights. Fertility treatments are becoming increasingly popular, destigmatized and more widely accepted, and increasingly, covered by insurance. LGBTQ couples and single parents have contributed to the demand. All of these modern parenthood options are creating a new frontier in family law. Legal complications abound when it comes to parental rights and child custody, especially in the absence of a written agreement between the parents.
