• Labor & Employment Law Forum 2025 - Values-Based Professionalism
  
  

  The American Bar Association now requires that law schools “provide substantial opportunities to students for … the development of a professional identity,” which involves, “an intentional exploration of the values, guiding principles, and well-being practices considered foundational to successful legal practice.” In this dual-credit CLE session, representatives from two Tennessee law schools will discuss how they teach students about the values, guiding principles, and wellbeing practices integral to being successful professionals, who are well-respected in the profession and also fulfilled in their careers. As our speakers will discuss, intentionally framing our professional identities around our core personal values can make for a meaningful career and foster more meaningful professional relationships. Much of the session will be dedicated to participants exploring their own core personal values and how those values can inform their professional identities and interactions.

• Labor & Employment Law Forum 2025 - Navigating the Legal Landscape of Workplace Privacy
  
  

  Do Employees have legally protected privacy rights when they enter the workplace? Can Employers control what Employees do on their own time? These are questions that courts continue to struggle with and that some state legislatures are trying to address. Seasoned employment attorneys Greg Grisham and Maureen Holland will explore the amorphous area of “Workplace Privacy” and examine the current legal standards governing employee surveillance, workplace searches, the monitoring of employee communications, dress code and appearance policies, drug and alcohol testing, medical and recreational marijuana, vaccination policies, and off-duty behavior while offering perspectives from both the Employer and Employee points of view.
