    The Next Generation of Environmental Law (On Demand, 2.75 IL MCLE Credit) CLE IL 2.75 0.00

    The goal of this seminar is to expose environmental lawyers to new and different perspectives on their role as environmental lawyers.

    This is an in-person program hosted at The Chicago Bar Association building (321 S. Plymouth Court, Chicago, IL 60604).

    The goal of this seminar is to expose environmental lawyers to new and different perspectives on their role as environmental lawyers.  Substantively, the first panel will be an introduction to practicing energy law before the Illinois Commerce Commission.  That panel will include an overview of what the ICC does, how it does so (i.e. the rules governing ICC proceedings) and how the ICC is an increasingly relevant forum for environmental lawyers’ clients and for shaping climate change and other environmental policies in Illinois.  The second panel will be a personal and practical platform for intergenerational knowledge transfer.  This panel will feature pairs of junior and senior lawyers who will discuss what senior lawyers believe junior lawyers need to succeed in environmental law and what junior lawyers think senior lawyers need to know to stay relevant, retain talent, and relate to clients and stakeholders in a changing environmental law and policy landscape.

    The world of employment law isn’t just one world – it’s several, and ethical conundrums can arise in many different contexts.

    The world of employment law isn’t just one world – it’s several, and ethical conundrums can arise in many different contexts. There are litigation issues – multiple representations and conflicts, spoliation of evidence, uses of purloined documents. There are settlement issues: what information derived from your client are you allowed to use? How do you manage your client during negotiations? Don’t forget discovery issues: what do you do when you’re deposing a witness who’s being coached? Is that a situation in which you can threaten to report an opponent to the ARDC – or are there ever such situations? We’ll explore these issues and more with two rising employment litigators.
