Is the Clock Ticking? A Discussion of TikTok's Legal Issues and the Platform's Future (Jan 2025)

Legal problems are anything but a new phenomenon for TikTok and its parent company, Bytedance, from issues relating to copyright infringement to data privacy and national security concerns. Examine TikTok's music licensing practices and the fallout from large rightsholders pulling their catalogs from the platform, along with the most significant legal challenge TikTok has been faced with to date --- the divest-or-ban law.

Interacting and Dealing with Difficult People: Ethically Working with All Kinds of Others (Mar 2025)

The Texas Lawyer's Creed reminds us of our oath to "disagree without being disagreeable." But today's polarizing culture ensures we will have to interact with coworkers, leaders, and volunteers who can make it very hard to remain civil. In this enlightening and entertaining session, we'll discuss how to navigate difficult conversations respectfully, manage our own impulses toward being difficult, and actively model civility to ensure that we are in compliance with our legal and professional duties toward all.
