We are very excited about this year's conference, the first in-person event our organization will be holding in over two years! The conference will include 9+ hours of CLE including presentations on: (1) Diversity Equity and Inclusion in the Law (Special Speaker that will allow you to obtain the new 2022 CA. State Bar requirement for "Implicit Bias" subcategory under Elimination of Bias); (2) Remote Practice at the CPUC; (3) Civility in the Practice of Utilities Law; (4) Pivoting Past the Pandemic: Work-Life Balance for Legal Professionals; (5) Update on Recent Appellate Court Decisions Important to the Utilities; (6) Industry-focused panels including Energy, Water, and Telecommunication issues and (7) Discussion with CPUC General Counsel, Christine Hammond, during the Fireside Chat.
In addition, the conference will include several social events to connect and catch-up with colleagues, including a kick-off dinner on May 1; lunch on May 2 following the morning CLE panels, and happy hour the evening of May 2. The Young Utility Lawyers (YUL) will host an event following the Monday reception.
We very much look forward to seeing you. Registration remains open for the conference. Please register soon using the link below.
COVID SAFETY PROTOCOLS for the CCPUC
While universal masking requirements have been lifted, current state, county, and local public health guidelines for COVID-19 strongly recommend masking indoors during large gatherings and meetings regardless of an individual’s vaccination status. To ensure your safety, the safety of small children, active seniors in our family, and the immune-compromised, we encourage conference attendees to be fully vaccinated and recommend that everyone wear mask indoors during the conference, consistent with public health guidelines.
