Election Protection: Wishing that you could do something...?
Learn about volunteer opportunities with Election Protection’s 2022 national voter hotlines, co-sponsored by the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law. Opportunities are open to lawyers, paralegals, legal assistants, and law students. This non-partisan resource for all American voters guides them through the process and utilizes a wide range of tools and activities to protect, advance and defend the right to vote.
Interested volunteers will sign up for self-scheduled 1-1/2 hours of on-demand training and then remotely staff specific shifts through an online platform, supported by comprehensive resource materials and ‘captains’ available for immediate consultation.
The need is greatest now through Election Day; bi-lingual volunteers encouraged.
Presented by Nancy Anderson, Esq., Director of Pro Bono, Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, and the NCR Pro Bono Committee.

Chapter GCs and CLOs are cordially invited to join ACC Northeast and Mintz for a virtual mixology session plus an interactive discussion on the challenges in-house attorneys face in advising their companies and business partners on how to respond to external events.
Businesses are facing mounting pressure to respond to societal issues that have direct consequences for their various stakeholders. External events also increasingly influence the daily work of general counsels and their teams. As a result, the role of the in-house team is evolving as they are pulled into conversations about corporate responses to such issues as state laws and court decisions with social and political implications.
We will share insights on how various companies create constructs to include diverse stakeholder interests and the decision-making and pitfalls around these types of challenges. Recent examples we may touch upon include:
Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization - Responding to court decisions that limit abortion rights while managing the diverse expectations and beliefs of employees.
Responding to state legislation that impacts LGBTQ+ rights and discrimination laws.
Ukraine - Responses to President Biden’s executive order banning Americans from doing business with Russian-based businesses.
