About the Program
The abuse of prescription drugs in the United States is now at its highest recorded level, having important legal implications in employment and family law. With drug abuse and addiction growing in the workplace, attorneys for employers and employees will acquire knowledge about their client's legal rights and protections under the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Family Medical Leave Act, and the law regarding drug testing, voluntary disclosure, terminations and Employee Assistance Programs—an important tool for curtailing this unprecedented and disturbing trend.
In the family law arena, prescription drug abuse by spouses, parents and children can severely disrupt families, leading to marital dissolution, legal interventions, and child custody proceedings. Attorneys guiding families will acquire the necessary knowledge to refer their clients to appropriate treatment, advise on prevention and intervention and to effectively negotiate and litigate when these increasingly frequent issues arise.
This program has separate audio teleconference and online components. Registrants will have to dial into the audio teleconference and, in order to view the online components, log into the website. This program will use the Internet to deliver live program content via Microsoft Live Meeting, which most computers support.
