Federal Rule 26 – Friend or Foe?
Many CELA members practice primarily in state court and are uncomfortable when they find themselves removed to federal court. Sound familiar? Experienced federal practitioners explain how Rule 26 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure can serve as a road map to successful federal litigation. The panel covers the ins and outs of the Rule 26 disclosure requirements, provides tips on using Rule 26 to your advantage, and points you to helpful forms and templates.

Workplace Discrimination Against Muslims: What Muslims Face in the Modern Workplace and What Advocates Need to Know to Protect Their Rights
Our knowledgeable speakers delve into this timely issue, exploring such issues as: discrimination based on physical appearance, beliefs, and national origin; accommodations, including prayer and holidays; EEOC v. Abercrombie and Fitch and its aftermath; and predicted future developments in the law.

Human Trafficking: A Primer for Employment Law Practitioners
Human trafficking is a very serious issue that has received a lot of media attention in recent years. Did you know that it could affect your employment law practice, too? Professor Ruth Silver Taube discusses how to incorporate human trafficking causes of action into the employment cases you already file. Many workers who are trafficked to California solely to fill positions in the workforce wind up suffering further workplace indignities and violations once they arrive, including discrimination, harassment, and wage and hour violations.

The webinars and seminars range in price between $25-$100.

NELA’s CLE catalog is also available.

CELA is a State Bar of California approved MCLE provider (#2292).
