About the Seminar
This seminar is designed for the experienced employment and labor law practitioner. The 2008 mid-year update will focused on recent developments in employment litigation (procedural and substantive), specialty areas such as FMLA and ethics, a report on federal anti-discrimination enforcement from the EEOC, and the latest from a colleague’s recent appearance before the U.S. Supreme Court.

This year’s update will include a networking lunch and an after-seminar reception.
