State of Illinois Sexual Harassment Prevention Training (6/22/23)

The CBA's sexual harassment prevention training session will better enable lawyers and law firm staff to prevent, combat and appropriately redress sexual harassment in the legal workplace, as well as understand the requirements set forth in Public Act 1010-0221.  Under this Act, all Illinois employers with employees working in the State are required to train employees on sexual harassment prevention on an annual basis. The CBA’s training session meets the minimum standards for sexual harassment prevention training outlined in Section 2-109(B) of the Illinois Human Rights Act (IHRA) and is tailored to lawyers and other law firm staff. 

Each attorney registration includes access for 5 additional law firm staff members to complete the training. Additional staff members may be registered for fee of $25 per every 5 registrants. Staff member participation will be tracked through the CBA’s webcasting system, and instructions will be provided as to how the employer can complete the State certification process for its employees. **Although CBA will facilitate certificates of completion for confirmed individual attendees, employer-participants, not CBA nor its volunteer trainers, are responsible for ensuring each of their employees satisfy the training requirements under the IHRA** Please email cle@chicagobar.org  to be provided a link to register additional staff members for the webinar. If an attorney wishes to receive IL MCLE credit for the program, they must individually register and attend the program.
