Session Description:

Marsy’s Law expanded the rights of crime victims in Wisconsin, including rights to privacy, restitution, and notice of proceedings. Yet little guidance exists on how judges should interpret the law, resulting in different outcomes in different courtrooms across the state. Compare how victims’ rights are currently interpreted and enforced and hear suggested guidance on complying with the minimum requirements of Marsy’s law.

Session Description:

As a criminal, elder and estate planning, corporate, or personal injury lawyer, you probably don’t expect the legal issues you’re addressing on behalf of clients to have family law implications down the road. But in some cases, issues outside your area of practice will undoubtedly emerge. Explore common intersections between family and non-family law matters. No matter what kind of law you practice, you’ll learn ways to identify other civil or criminal law issues and weave them into a more comprehensive legal strategy for your clients. ​

Session Description:

Numerous stories headlining international media recently have changed regulations on goods, services and technologies businesses can source from or sell to overseas companies. These stories include the war in Ukraine, climate change and forced labor in Chinese supply chains. Government authorities in the United States and other countries have recently developed new legal restrictions and obligations in an attempt to compel or limit company action geared towards the political priorities associated with those developments. In many cases, these developments have substantially disrupted business and caused expensive compliance headaches. In other scenarios, the challenges for business are still brewing in the form of proposed regulations. Yet, these changes may also provide new business opportunities for certain industries. The session will cover the main developments and explore them through a discussion with expert practitioners and members of the bar wrestling with what these issues mean for their clients.​​
