On August 9, 2024, Governor Pritzker
signed Illinois Public Act 103-0994 into law, which amended the Illinois Power
of Attorney Act to provide a statutory framework for when it would be
reasonable for a third-party to refuse recognition of a financial Power of
Attorney, as well as when it would be unreasonable for a third-party to not
honor an otherwise properly executed Power of Attorney for Property. Don’t miss
this panel presentation in which our speakers discuss the legislative process,
the compromises made to reach the resulting language, how financial Powers of
Attorney are reviewed by bank counsel, and how this legislative amendment will
affect financial institutions’ practices in reviewing financial Powers of
Attorney.

ISBA’s 6th Annual Abraham Lincoln’s Legal Legacy seminar as we study
Lincoln’s actions as a lawyer and President in facing threats to democracy in
America and the United States Constitution. The program takes place in
Springfield, which was the center of Lincoln’s law practice and three
partnerships, and where Lincoln developed his understanding of the democratic
process and his interpretation of the Constitution. It was the venue for many
of Lincoln’s significant trials, including the “Peachy” Quinn Harrison murder
trial. Join
us for this in-depth look at how Lincoln’s view of the Constitution changed
over time and evolved into the use of his Presidential War
Powers to advance the case of Union and emancipation. Additional topics include:
How the 1909 Centennial Celebration of Lincoln’s birth resulted in no
minorities attending the festivities and how, at the same time in New York
City, concerned citizens formed the NAACP to discuss and address racism and
white supremacy in the U.S.;
The current ethical issues facing attorneys, including lawyer-client
privilege, confidentiality concerns, and limits on lawyers and litigants’
speech during trials;
How future lawyers can research Lincoln’s legal career and cases;
What current and future lawyers can learn from Lincoln’s legal legacy;
and
Much more.

While the HIPAA Privacy and Security
Rules went into effect over 20 years ago, lawyers in a variety of different
practices representing a wide-range of businesses need to be proficient when
advising their clients who may be HIPAA-covered entities or business
associates. For example, is an IT retailer a business associate when hooking up
Wi-Fi to enable a remote patient monitoring system at a customer’s home? Or when
a lawyer conducts due diligence during the acquisition of real estate and has
access to protected health information (PHI) … is the lawyer now a business
associate? Join us for an in-depth look at the Illinois Rules of Professional Conduct
and how they may pertain to the unique cases you or your client may encounter,
while giving you the tools you need to comply with the rules regarding competency,
confidentiality, technology, conflicts of interest, and more! Listen as our
experienced panelists explain relevant Illinois Rules of Professional Conduct
and apply those rules to cases that address the following topics:
How
to identify whether an arrangement creates a business associate relationship;
How
to draft and negotiate business associate agreements that are tailored to the
relationship and other types of agreements to offer to refrain from being a
business associate;
Proactive
steps for protecting the privacy and security of PHI when advising your client
who is a business associate for the first time; and
How
being a business associate (or not) impacts obligations under breach
notification laws.
