What is Caregiver Discrimination?
Join us for an educational hour with nationally recognized expert in gender and family responsibility discrimination, Rebecca G. Pontikes, Esq.
Ms. Pontikes, who has filed amicus briefs before the United States Supreme Court on issues involving labor and employment law, and who has lectured extensively on workplace discrimination, will explain the elements of a claim for caretaking discrimination, as well as its context within the complex Federal statutory regime preventing workplace discrimination and retaliation. This seminar will explore caretaking discrimination at time of increased family responsibilities because of COVID-19. Both the rights of employees who believe they are experiencing caretaking discrimination and advice for employers who are hoping to limit their exposure to such claims will be addressed.
Please RSVP to Kara Eyre – keyre@gmclaw.com
A Zoom link will be provided before the presentation.

Domestic Violence Trends in the Context of Bail Reform and the COVID-19 Pandemic
A free 2-hour Virtual CLE Program
Wednesday, October 28, 2020, 2-4 p.m.
Statistics strongly suggest that the incidence of domestic violence has increased considerably during the pandemic — at the same time that the discretion of judges to detain or set bail has been reduced.
This two-part Domestic Violence Awareness Month program sponsored by the Third Judicial District Gender Fairness Committee will first discuss bail reform, the unintended impact on DV cases and possible legislative adjustments to the new law. The second part will examine the dynamics, pitfalls and future of DV cases during the pandemic era.
Hon. Rachel Kretser (Ret.), chair, Gender Fairness Committee, will moderate two panel discussions that will include:

Andra Ackerman, Albany County Judge
Jaya L. Connors, Professor of Law and Director of Family Violence Litigation Clinic at the Justice Center at Albany Law School
Leah Feldman, VP, Community Programs, Family Services
Heather L. Dukes, Senior Attorney, Unity House Law Project
Richard Rivera, Albany County Family Court Judge and Supervising Judge of the Domestic Violence Courts
Ellen Schell, counsel, NYS Office for the Prevention of Domestic Violence
