CLE - HIPAA, Data Breach and Discovery June 14
Learn the basics on HIPAA Privacy, Security, and Breach Notification Rules.
With new breaches discovered or reported almost daily, major cyberattacks have dominated the headlines and dramatically raised public awareness regarding data security.
Currently, our regulatory processes penalize healthcare organizations under the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) for breaches, whether electronic or otherwise. Sharing data also means acknowledging and sharing the risks inherent in protecting that data while maintaining a unified front against threats.
This CLE presentation examines the HIPAA Privacy and Security Rules and how they affect the retrieval, retention, and destruction of Protected Health Information during the litigation process. The new 2009 HITECH regulations are also covered, as well as, the 2013 HIPAA Omnibus Rule and state Data Breach Notification laws.
Some common myths and facts about HIPAA and discovery are shared, as well as the physical, technical and administrative requirements for covered entities and their business associate law firms. Data Breach Notification laws affect the personal/sensitive information stored and transmitted by law firms and proper safeguards are addressed. Breach notification laws and fines are also explored.

CLE - Strictly Speaking: Public Speaking Skills for Lawyers June 24
Featured Speaker: Past Chancellor John E. Savoth
One of the most important skills for lawyers is the ability to speak in public, whether it be before a forum of hundreds or a conference room with only a handful of people in attendance. It is expected that all attorneys, not only trial lawyers, have the gift of rising from your seat and providing concise and relevant remarks. That occasion may arise in your professional or personal life.
This CLE course will provide attorneys with the tools to conquer any public speaking engagement in any environment, including courtroom arguments and orations, firm presentations, large audience addresses, toasts and eulogies.
Through the use of video examples, featured speaker and former Philadelphia Bar Association Chancellor, John E. Savoth, will offer guidance on effective methods of delivery. Attorneys will learn practical tips and techniques to prepare them for any public speaking event.
