Program to look at roadside drug testing laws Aug. 25


The Criminal Defense Attorneys of Michigan (CDAM) will present the webinar “Michigan Law Update: Roadside Drug Testing – What You Need to Know” featuring  Michigan trial lawyer Patrick T. Barone on Tuesday, August 25, from 11 a.m. to noon.

In this one hour zoom presentation, Barone will dissect recent changes to MCL 257.62a, 257.625r, and 257.625s, all of which address roadside DUI investigations.  These laws address Michigan’s roadside oral fluid drug testing program. Participants will learn when this increasingly common roadside drug testing is allowed and how to avoid common pitfalls in the defense of DUI drug cases involving such tests.

Cost for the webinar is $25.  To register, visit cdam.wildapricot.org and click on “events.”

Employer response to whistleblower threats examined
The Association of Corporate Counsel will present “A COVID-19 Storm is Brewing: How Employers Respond to Mandates When Whistleblowers Threaten.” This free webinar will be offered Tuesday, August 18, from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
The negative economic impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has caused employers to take prompt and business-essential adverse employment actions, including reductions-in-force, furloughs, reduced work hours, and lower pay. Now, with companies reopening, employers are doing their best to comply with mandatory and “best practices” COVID-19 protocols in order to make the workplace safe. Such legal compliance is entirely new and untested. It also may provide fertile ground for whistleblowers to point out areas of “unlawful” noncompliance and potentially unsafe conditions.
