In the Connecticut General Assembly, Raised Bill 1442 is just a few days old but is due for a public hearing on Monday, March 10th before the
On a new episode of our From Lawyer to Empoyer podcast which just dropped wherever you listen to your podcasts, my colleague Emily McDonough Souza and I break down the key developments from the Trump Administration’s first 45 days and the key takeaways from the conversation.
