    This seminar will cover the process of labor arbitration in the context of both discipline and discharge ("just cause") cases and contract interpretation cases. Presenters will discuss common issues that come up in labor arbitration and best practices from the perspective of each side, as well as how arbitrators frequently handle them.

    Labor Arbitration: Basics and Best Practices from Experienced Practitioners 

    Labor arbitration is unique and distinct from commercial or employment arbitration. When a union and employer dispute the language contained in their collective bargaining agreement and can't reach resolution on their own, labor arbitrators faithfully interpret the language to render fair decisions for the unions and employers that select them through a mutually agreed-upon process.

    This program will explore how modern visualization tools are transforming construction disputes and other complex litigation by delivering a data driven, immersive approach to understanding events. (HYBRID SEMINAR)

    This program will explore how modern visualization tools are transforming construction disputes and other complex litigation by delivering a data driven, immersive approach to understanding events. At the center of this approach is an integrated 3D environment that brings together critical sources of spatial and temporal data, including laser scans, drone photogrammetry, video footage, sensor data, and construction schedules, to help attorneys, experts, and clients evaluate incidents with clarity and precision. The program will examine three foundational pillars: 

    Capturing Space: Demonstrating how scene geometry, structural configurations, site conditions, and equipment positioning are documented using laser scanning and other 3D data capture technologies.
    Capturing Time: Showing how surveillance video, sensor logs, equipment data, and project schedules can be aligned to reconstruct event sequences.
    Visualization and Analysis: Illustrating how immersive, real-time environments enable teams to test alternative scenarios, evaluate competing narratives, validate witness accounts, and develop compelling demonstrative evidence for mediation, arbitration, and trial.

    While construction litigation will be a focus, the presentation will include examples from other types of complex litigation where spatial and temporal data integration is critical.

    The session will emphasize the strategic value of early expert engagement, highlighting how integrated visualization environments generate early insights, enhance collaboration, and meet increasing court expectations for sophisticated demonstrative evidence. Attendees will gain practical insight into how these technologies improve fact-finding, facilitate informed settlement discussions, and support technical storytelling.

    This seminar is for practicing attorneys and law students working in or interested in working in the healthcare or life sciences space – a sector that accounts for nearly a fifth of the entire U.S. economy. It will provide accessible legal background on and key updates regarding Illinois health law, data privacy and cybersecurity, and antitrust and unfair competition.

    Following a record-breaking year of Department of Justice False Claims Act settlements and judgments, prosecutors and regulators have made it clear that investigating and prosecuting suspected “waste, fraud, and abuse” in the healthcare system will be a top priority for 2026.

    Similarly, growing public and regulators focus on privacy and cybersecurity is poised to impact scrutiny on various players in the life sciences and healthcare industry who deal with sensitive personal or health data.

    Additionally, regulatory scrutiny and recent antitrust and unfair competition enforcement actions highlight key focuses that life sciences and health care companies should understand to remain compliant in a competitive environment.
