Greetings NLD!
We have a lot of congratulating and celebrating to do this week! First, huge congratulations to our newest bar passers! You did it! For those of you who did not pass, don’t forget this is literally the hardest bar exam in the country, and you are not alone. For anyone wanting bar prep pro tips (first time or repeat takers), I am always happy to share some tried and tested pro tips and/or give pep talks along the way. Don’t hesitate to reach out by emailing me at stephanie.atkinson@bipc.com, or find me on LinkedIn and we’ll set up a call!

The Intersection of California and Federal Leave of Absence Laws Amidst COVID-19
CDF Labor Law LLP
There are many laws that provide for time off, paid or unpaid, with some providing job protection during leaves of absence. These laws include the California Family Rights Act (CFRA), Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA), Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA), Paid Family Leave, California Pregnancy Disability Leave Law (PDLL), California Paid Sick Leave, Workers’ Compensation and more. Understanding and applying these various laws is a challenge, especially amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.
