October is one of my favorite times of the year. (And no, not just because of the Pumpkin-flavored coffee/donuts/muffins at Dunkin, though that certainly helps). But for the last several years, our firm has been producing our Fall Webinar series.
And this year is no exception.
In our complimentary four-part webinar series (register here
Over on our sister blog, the Employment Law Letter (you’ve subscribed to that one, right?), my colleague Marc Lombardi has word of a potential $17B penalty for potential violations of the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act.
The case arises from the allegations that White Castle required employees to scan their fingerprint in order to access
In some prior posts here and here, I talked about the development of artificial intelligence tools in the employment law context.
If you’ve been reading the headlines, the latest AI “tool” is a Chatbot titled “ChatGPT”. You can read the latest The New York Times piece about it here.

Many of the bills that are still being considered relate to the “labor” side of Labor & Employment Law. Here
If you’ve been reading this blog long enough, you know that the budget implementer bill in the state legislature always contains more than just budget items. It’s a “must-pass” bill that normally has items that, for one reason or another, didn’t pass during the regular session but that are important to various legislators.

Early on in this pandemic, I co-authored a post with ADNET Technologies’ Christopher Luise regarding the possibility of digital contact tracing for COVID-19. I recapped it in a post here as well.
That possibility is now a reality in Connecticut with the state turning “on” the COVID-19 exposure notification system.
