Good morning Family Law Section members,
NJICLE will present a host of history, diversity and movie CLEs this December to help you get those end of the year CLE credits!!
On Monday, Dec. 11, NJICLE will present Theodore Roosevelt and the Progressive Era – A 2023 Look from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. Online.
Join us as Theodore Roosevelt is brought to life by actor-historian Peyton Dixon.
The legislation conceived and adopted during the progressive era changed the paradigm of American Liberty and Democracy. The conception of a Democratic Republican form of government held by those who drafted the constitution of 1787 underwent a fundamental shift after the Civil War. Roosevelt was one of the principal spokespersons of that shift. Some would even say that he was the leader of the Progressive movement.

On Friday, Dec. 22, NJICLE will present Illumination of Bias from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.
This program tackles the tricky subject of implicit bias (or unconscious bias) in the practice of law.
Poignant film vignettes will serve as the catalyst for interactive discussion among a roundtable of experienced practitioners that will help to shine a light on the harm of implicit bias, both for individuals and the organizations in which they serve. Participants will also come away with practical strategies for identifying and mitigating the effects of implicit biases, and ultimately creating a genuinely inclusive, more effective, and more profitable enterprise.

From professional baseball to bug collectors, everyone has their hall of fame. Why not lawyers?
The “Trial of the Century Hall of Fame” series allows us to learn from the best our profession has to offer. This class will remind each lawyer about the true essence of being an attorney. We will go back in time to review the most significant, precedent-setting, culturally impacting cases over the last several millennia. We look at the trial strategies, the issues involved, the outcomes, and how those cases can make you a better lawyer today. We will cover the trial of Socrates, Marbury v. Madison, the Lincoln Conspiracy trials, the Scopes Monkey trial, and more.
