It is estimated that one in five people has a disability. Given the prevalence of disability in our society, attorneys need to be prepared to address the needs of clients with disabilities. This training will first provide practical tips on interacting with people with disabilities and the proper language to use. It will then focus on the legal and ethical issues that can arise when representing people with disabilities, with a focus on two common issues: access for clients with communication disabilities and representing clients with psychiatric disabilities.

This workshop trains participants in the interplay between a lawyer’s mindset and the risk of ethical liabilities in the practice of law. Using neuroscience, evolutionary biology, and psychology, it illustrates how training the brain to be more mindful and less reactive serves as a protective measure against potential conflicts of interest. It engages the audience through hypotheticals which challenge preconceived notions of mindfulness and its practical application beyond stress management and interpersonal skills in the legal profession. Participants will be equipped with tools and techniques to decrease the risk of developing conflicts of interest by increasing awareness and control of how their mindsets influence the practice of law.

Jonathan Nessler will explain the current state of blockchain technology and how this technology is being implemented in a wide variety of uses. Many courses about blockchain technology focus on the basics of what blockchain is from a technical standpoint and how the technology facilitates the existence of Bitcoin and similar cryptocurrencies.

Entire networks are being built on blockchains, like Ethereum and Avalanche, and millions of people are using these networks everyday. This presentation will focus on why blockchain technology is important beyond cryptocurrencies and how the technology is being used today..
