WELA’s Annual CLE 2020

October 15, 2020 @ 9:30 am - 3:30 pm

WELA’S ANNUAL CLE

WELA’s 2020 CLE will occur online on Thursday, October 15, 2020

This year’s theme is “Horseshoes & Hand Grenades: Obstacles and Opportunities in Adjacent Areas of Law.”  We will have a rich group of speakers presenting short programs on topics like: making use of ERISA to expand recoverable damages; understanding and using the myriad leave laws available to employees in Washington; and what to do when the employer may not be solvent.

This program will be slightly shorter than normal but fun, informative, and energizing in these days of isolation.

Please note: This event is only open to current WELA Members.
