Sponsored by the Solo, Small Firm and General Practice Division, Law Practice Division and Young Lawyers Division, program highlights include;
• “Indian Law Potpourri: Examining the Tapestry of Native American and Indigenous People Law in Today’s Practice” – This session will review current legal stances around the various and leading laws related to Native Americans and Indigenous people. The panel will discuss the current state of tribal law and major concerns being raised as movements toward pressuring the end of DEI initiatives reach beyond academic settings and into mainstream America.
• “Leveraging Technology to Enhance Your Wellness” – Do you often feel overwhelmed? Do you have trouble picking what to do next and prioritizing your own wellness? This program will discuss how lawyers can utilize technology, apps and external sources to benefit themselves and their practice and why prioritizing well-being and rest is worth the effort.
• “Saving Democracy and the Rule of Law – Why Lawyers Need to Engage” – This interactive program will lay a foundation for why the threats against democracy at all levels of government are real, based on significant data points and research. The program will present practical suggestions for how lawyers can become involved in nonpartisan, nonpolitical efforts to protect our constitutional republic. The session will address issues facing local elections and
how to get involved.
• “Access to Justice in America’s Heartland: Defining the Problem and Developing Solutions – Part 2” – Join us for a comprehensive discussion of the unique challenges and opportunities related to extending the reach of legal services to rural populations. Experts from Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma and South Dakota gather to define challenges, share successes and explore opportunities for intrastate and interstate collaboration.
