Recent headline news about sexual harassment in the legal profession indicate that we still need to do more to prevent workplace sexual harassment. Content development for this session has been led by employment lawyers and workplace investigators who regularly advise on, and investigate, sexual harassment matters.
Topics that will be covered include:
- what is sexual harassment?
- review of the legal definition of sexual harassment
- examples of conduct and comments on the spectrum of sexual harassment
- professional conduct rules
- review of applicable professional standards for lawyers including the most recent commentary to the Code of Professional Conduct
- role of bystanders
- explain the power and importance of bystanders in creating a culture of respect
- review the range of bystander intervention strategies
- apply bystander intervention strategies to example scenarios
Join us to be a part of the solution and learn to respond to and report workplace sexual harassment!
