This workshop will provide an overview of several key legal concepts and then allow participants to review their own documents to determine how well they are addressing those legal issues. Attendees will be provided with a list of documents to bring from their organization (or have access to during the workshop). After two attorneys explain the relevant legal concepts, participants will then have time to review the materials for their program to assess where they may need to make changes or improvements. The attorneys will roam the room and be available to answer individual questions while attendees are reviewing their documents. Note: The presenters will provide general information only-- not a comprehensive review of individual documents. No attorney client relationship will be established but participants will have a good understanding of important legal doctrines. The issues to be addressed include: • Medical screening processes, including complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act • Setting clear behavior expectations and consequences • Using Additional Insured and Certificates of Insurance appropriately • Ensuring marketing materials are not making inappropriate guarantees of safety • Administration of liability release agreements and • Legal issues to address after a serious incident.
