Mediation Demonstrations - Fish-Bowl Style
The MSBA ADR Section invites you to an informative program covering some of the more common ethical issues and troublesome situations (early impasse, bad behavior, confidentiality, etc.) that can arise in anyone's mediation sessions. Rather than presenting this information in a standard lecture-style format, the issues and situations will be demonstrated through several role plays and mediated by experienced mediators John Bickerman, Dan Dozier, Ellen Kandell, Joyce Mitchell, and Steve Shapiro.
While the Golden Globes may not have honored the genius of Stephen Spielberg's direction of the movie Lincoln, I hope and believe the Oscar voters will. As anyone who has a feel for history will, I think, agree, Lincoln is a uniquely moving portrait of Abraham Lincoln and the late part of the Civil War.
Much of Spielberg's movie is based on Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln, the wonderfully researched and written book by Doris Kearns Goodwin.
Even though sick leave is a customary benefit, no law requires Maryland businesses to offer sick leave -- paid or unpaid--to their employees. However, employers that do in fact offer paid sick leave (or any other form of paid leave) have certain obligations under Maryland law. [We intend to address the law in Virginia and Washington, D.C. in a forthcoming blog.]

If you're an employer, you may be required by the Affordable Care Act (the "ACA") to notify your employees by October 1, 2013, about the new Health Insurance Marketplace established under the ACA. The new notification requirement applies to you if you are subject to the Fair Labor Standards Act, meaning that you employ one or more employees who are engaged in, or produce goods for, interstate commerce with generally over $500,000 in annual business.
