Keynote Presentation & Luncheon
Join the optional luncheon and keynote with Phyllis Randolph Frye, the first “out” transgender judge in the U.S., for “The Courage to Get Off the Fence.”
A senior partner at the law firm of Frye, Benavidez and O’Neil PLLC, in Houston, Frye devotes her practice to helping transgender clients change their names and genders on legal documents.
Frye, credited with being the “grandmother” of transgender law, will explore ongoing legal and political transgender issues of concern, such as anti-crossdressing criminal laws and ordinances, public restroom usage, and name-gender ID changes without surgery. Learn more about Frye in our feature article.
Read more about Frye in this issue of InsideTrack.
Four Plenaries
Begin with the opening plenary on Thursday, “Identifying, Investigating, and Preventing Harassment and Bullying in the Workplace,” to identify the differences between bullying and unlawful harassment and learn methods to eradicate behaviors that create a toxic work environment.
Thursday’s afternoon plenary, “How Legal Counsel Can Help In-House Investigators Avoid Common Pitfalls” examines common ways in-house investigations miss the mark. Learn how outside counsel can help clients identify and avoid investigation missteps, and how to conduct a fair, efficient, effective, and defensible internal investigation.
Friday morning’s plenary explores “Ethics for Organizational Lawyers” to help lawyers understand how the Rules of Professional Conduct apply in situations common to lawyers who represent organizations. Explore ethical issues related to conflicts, confidentiality, and the no-contact rule.
Finally, don’t miss Friday’s closing plenary, “Bias & Privilege in the Legal World,” an interactive examination of implicit bias, cultural competency, and equity-based principles. Recognize how legal professionals can play a part in addressing systemic bias, and gain strategies for reducing the harmful impacts of implicit bias in your work.
