Lifting the Curtain: An Open (and Sometimes Irreverent) Reflection on Anxiety and Depression (On-Demand)

Lifting the Curtain: An Open (and Sometimes Irreverent) Reflection on Anxiety and Depression (On-Demand) Mark Vitek (not verified)
On-Demand

The prevalence of anxiety, depression, and substance abuse within the legal profession is well known. South Carolina attorney Will Jordan personalizes the statistics by sharing his experience with anxiety and depression. Using a storytelling format, Will describes how he came to recognize his mental health struggles, how he tried (unsuccessfully) to cure them, and how, over the years, he has learned to cope with them. Will seeks to decrease the stigma around mental health issues in the legal profession and to provide encouragement and resources for lawyers suffering from anxiety, depression, or substance abuse.

Creating a Modern, Compliant and Easier to Execute Records Retention Schedule (On-Demand)

Creating a Modern, Compliant and Easier to Execute Records Retention Schedule (On-Demand) Mark Vitek (not verified)
On-Demand

Many record retention schedules started from within hardcopy, paper-based records programs. Yet today more than 95% of the documents organizations create or receive are sourced in digital format. Programs based on paper-centric record retention schedules are much more difficult to execute and ensure compliance, when electronic information is the dominant format. Is your retention schedule in need of an update?


In this Webcast, Mark Diamond and Tom Mighell from Contoural, along with Stacey Shaw from Careington, will discuss how organizations can create modern and more compliant records retention schedules that better handle both paper and especially electronic information. They will also cover how to privacy-enable your schedule.
