CLE: Race & Sports: Racially Charged Sports Controversies and Legal Concerns – Live Webcast!

What can the professional sports industry teach us about ethics and racial discrimination? During the 2013-14 season, the sports industry dealt with a number of controversial issues that impacted members of diverse communities – from the disparaging remarks made by the L.A. Clippers owner, to the locker room harassment experienced by several members of the Miami Dolphins, to the anger over the derogatory name of the Washington Redskins – to name a few. Join us via the Internet on Wednesday, February 18, 2015 for this one-hour live webcast that uses the legal issues surrounding these events as a springboard for discussion on First Amendment rights, workplace discrimination, the private ordering of an entity and its power to remove stakeholders or managers, employee harassment, and much more!

The seminar is presented by the ISBA Standing Committee on Racial and Ethnic Minorities and qualifies for 1.0 hour MCLE credit, including 1.0 hour Professional Responsibility MCLE credit (subject to approval).
