    Description:

     

     The recent wave of high-profile allegations stemming from the #metoo movement shows no sign of relenting, requiring employers to address their own internal policies related to workplace complaints. Just as important as developing anti-harassment and discrimination policies is establishing company procedures for investigating employee complaints. Promptly and effectively investigating and remediating employment claims is required of California employers and should mitigate potential damages.

    Join employment attorney and seasoned investigator Lisa Ryan in this one-hour webinar that will address best practices for workplace investigations, including WHEN to investigate, WHO should investigate and HOW to conduct and conclude an investigation.

     

    Faculty:

    She is a graduate of the University of Pacific, McGeorge School of Law, where she wrote for the California Initiative Review and earned honors in trial advocacy.

    It is with a heavy heart that the SFPA announces to it's members that Pat Medina passed away on Friday, March 9, 2018. Pat Medina was the program director of the Paralegal Studies Program at San Francisco State Extended Learning, and widely considered to be the "mother" of the program. A former paralegal and educator extraordinaire, Pat Medina has a long list of accomplishments from the recipient of the President's Award in 1992, and honored in 2003 by the American Associates of Paralegal Educators as Teacher of the Year.

     

    The SFPA expresses their deepest condolences to the Medina family, the Paralegal Community, and San Francisco State University of this tragic loss.
