Attendees will learn about misconduct reporting requirements, limits of lawyers’ investigative activities, and boundaries against discrimination, sexual harassment, and intentional harm to others, even in a lawyer’s personal life.

Through the Colorado Defense Lawyers Association Foundation ("Foundation"), we are committed to leveraging our collective efforts through partnerships and alliances in order to foster leadership, awareness and communications enabling an environment of good will and inclusiveness within our Association membership.
