Session Description
Who says lawyers are boring? Not true! Please join us as we cover the latest and greatest legal news you need to know to protect your business. We will cover recent decisions coming out of the Trump Administration, Supreme Court, legislative updates as well as the latest news from the EEOC, NLRB, DOL and OCRC.

This will not be an ordinary legal update filled with legalese and monotone voices. Laura and Lee hate legalese! They teach through real stories covering issues that actual HR professionals face every day. Emotional support lizards? Check. NSFW drink orders? Check. Employees on Only Fans? Check. We’ll also discuss best practices for dealing with FMLA abuse, outlandish ADA accommodation requests and wild harassment allegations. If there is time left at the end, we’ll have a speed round of “Stump the Lawyer.” You are guaranteed to have fun and learn a few things along the way.
