Upcoming DRI Webinars

DRI’s Center for Law and Public Policy has authored the whitepaper: "Nonlawyer Investment in the Legal Economy." This webinar will outline the major regulatory changes in several US states that now permit nonlawyers to own law firms. We will explain the evolution from the "practice of law" by attorneys to the provision of "legal services" by nonlawyers, how this relaxation permits increased connection between corporations and alternative legal services providers, and how even litigators should prepare for these internet-based changes.

The registration is $75 for DRI members and $150 for non-members.

Make the most of all your available tools in your toolbox by embracing new technologies, using new programs more efficiently and effectively. Leave the paper behind without feeling like you are risking it all!

This webinar is free for DRI members and non-members.

This presentation will provide an update on two areas of continued interest for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS): human health risk assessment, and remedy design and implementation at hydrogeologically-challenging sites. Tools and references to guide the establishment of science-based site-specific screening levels for PFAS will be discussed. Then speakers will present the design and implementation of an innovative, fully passive water treatment remedy for upwelling groundwater channels, which has consistently removed over 99% of target PFAS from influent water.

This webinar is free for DRI members and non-members.
