Program Description:

They’re back! Andrew Friedman and Anthony Oncidi have once again agreed to present their fast-paced and entertaining and very informative annual employment law update.  As usual, they will provide an up-to-date year review of labor and employment cases and statutes issued during the past 12 months. Topics will include harassment, discrimination, retaliation, disability accommodations, wage and hour updates, arbitration agreements and class actions. This is a must-see event for attorneys representing employees or employers in California.

"What a whirlwind of a year it has been for legal technology. Barely a week into 2018, industry-changing news broke of Avvo’s sale to Internet Brands. Legal tech news has been nonstop ever since – so much that it’s a struggle to keep up with it all."

"Last year, the US Supreme Court ruled in Packingham v. North Carolina that social-media platforms are the new “public square,” and access to them is protected by the First Amendment, which guarantees free speech. But that doesn’t necessarily mean there are no limitations on how social media can be used when an ex-convict is on probation. For example, a California state appeals court just found in  AA v. The People (pdf) that a “narrowly tailored” limit on social media use for a juvenile on probation—in this case for a felony offense—was legal for rehabilitation purposes and to protect a crime victim."
