Ban-the-Box and Other Pre-Employment Dilemmas: Finding Qualified Candidates without Finding Trouble (2507)
Live web cast: January 14, 2015 (12:00 noon ET)
Many employers have adopted processes designed to identify latent issues with applicants, such as criminal history inquiries and background checks, but trends such as “ban-the box” are now sweeping across the country, and agencies like the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission are taking aggressive action to combat perceived areas for potential discrimination and unfairness in pre-employment inquiries. This program, of particular interest to in-house lawyers, covers the legislative and enforcement trends and explores the best ways employers can continue taking diligent efforts to identify strong employment candidates while remaining on the right side of the law.

Live web cast: January 22, 2015 (12:00 noon ET)

Arbitration is a preferred dispute resolution mechanism in international commercial transactions for a variety of reasons (confidentiality, speed, cost, expertise, neutrality, and ease of award enforcement). This program provides an overview of the U.S. enforcement regime with respect to international arbitrations; examines recent case law; compares and contrasts the rules and practice of two major domestic arbitral bodies, AAA and JAMS, and four leading international arbitral organizations, ICC, ICDR, LCIA and HKIAC; and offers practical tips on drafting arbitration provisions in commercial agreements.

Live web cast: January 28, 2015 (12:00 noon ET)
