CLE: Litigating, Defending, and Preventing Employment, Housing, and Public Accommodation Discrimination Cases: Practice Updates and Tips Concerning the Illinois Human Rights Act – 2014

Review the latest information in employment, housing, and public accommodation discrimination cases under the Illinois Human Rights Act with this informative presentation in Chicago on March 13th! [The seminar will also broadcast via the Internet as a live webcastfor those unable to attend live in Chicago.]The Illinois Human Rights Act prohibits discrimination in a number of areas, including housing, public accommodations, and access to credit. Yet, discrimination against others based on gender, race, physical or mental challenges, and income continues, making it imperative that attorneys keep abreast of this ever-changing arena. Don’t miss this informative seminar that gives you a better understanding of: properly filing a charge to start a case with the Illinois Department of Human Rights; important errors to avoid when filing a case or pursuing a charge; how plaintiffs can best conclude a pending case in a timely, economical, and ethical manner; how defendants can prevent a matter from getting to the Illinois Department of Human Rights and Illinois Human Rights Commission; moving a case forward or getting it dismissed; and why some settlement options are better, more risky, or more inappropriate than others.

The program is presented by the ISBA Human Rights Section and co-sponsored by the ISBA Diversity Leadership Council and the ISBA Labor & Employment Law Section. It qualifies for 5.5 hours MCLE credit, including 1.0 hour Professional Responsibility MCLE credit (subject to approval).
