    This is a hybrid program. Please select the appropriate button when registering if you plan to attend in-person. The in person event will take place at The Chicago Bar Association (321 S. Plymouth Court, Chicago, IL 60604). 

    Two Supreme Court Victories Against Housing Discrimination: Shelley v. Kraemer (1948) and Jones v. Alfred H. Mayer (1968) How Chicago Maintained Segregation Without the Covenants

    In 1948, the Supreme Court ruled in Shelley v. Kraemer that courts could not enforce racially restrictive covenants. Twenty years later, in Jones v. Alfred H. Mayer (1968), the Court banned all private housing discrimination. Despite these landmark victories, Chicago remains one of America's most segregated cities today. This program examines why legal victories didn't translate into social change and explores how discrimination evolved from racially restrictive covenants to blockbusting, redlining, and modern forms of housing discrimination.

    Speakers:
    Venu Gupta    , Executive Director, Chicago Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights

    Emergency Room Decisions That Make-or-Break Medical Malpractice Cases 

    This practical, case-driven program is designed for medical malpractice and personal injury attorneys seeking a clearer view into the earliest decision points that shape emergency care outcomes. You will learn the early, often-overlooked decisions that shape emergency cases — from pre-hospital care and EMS routing to triage and early ER workflow. 

    Through real cases from an ER physician and nurse, it shows how protocols, staffing shortages, boarding, and post-pandemic pressures lead patients to the wrong facility, wrong team, or dangerous delays. It also clarifies who makes which decisions inside the ER, helping attorneys trace the chain of care, spot documentation gaps, and pinpoint when a delay or misclassification occurred. The program ends with a framework for selecting experts based on the specific role tied to each error, strengthening causation and negligence arguments.

    Speakers:
    Dr. Andrew Tisser, DO, MBA, Emergency Physician
    Gina Marra, RN, LNC, LCSW, ER Nurse & Legal Consultant

    Life Settlements and Life Insurance Valuation Solutions (On Demand Webcast Certificate, 1.00 IL MCLE Credit ) CLE IL 1.00 0.00

    Life Settlements and Life Insurance Valuation Solutions for Estate and Tax Professionals

    Life insurance is a foundational planning tool in estate, tax, and business succession matters, yet existing policies are frequently overlooked as client circumstances change. Like other property, life insurance assets can be independently valued to support fiduciaries who advise individuals, families, and business owners. 

    This program uses a moderated, interview-style discussion to examine the legal and planning implications of life insurance valuation, longevity risk, and secondary market considerations. Attendees will gain insight into how fair market value analysis and life settlement best practices can support informed planning recommendations, enhance interdisciplinary collaboration, and help mitigate liability and reputational risk. The discussion focuses on issue identification, documentation considerations, and interdisciplinary coordination, rather than product selection or implementation. 

    Attorneys will learn the strategic importance of identifying and valuing existing life insurance assets in estate and business succession planning, how and when those policies may be monetized to support evolving client objectives, and the role independent valuation and best practices play in mitigating liability and reputational risk.
