CBA: Sexual Harassment Prevention Training Series

The CBA’s sexual harassment prevention training session will better enable lawyers and law firm staff to prevent, combat and appropriately redress sexual harassment in the legal workplace, as well as understand the State of Illinois and City of Chicago’s requirements. The CBA’s training session meets the minimum requirements set forth by the State of Illinois (Illinois Public Act 1010-0221) and City of Chicago (Municipal Code of Chicago Section 6-10-040(b)(1)(C)(i)(a)) that all Illinois employers and employees must complete sexual harassment prevention training annually and is tailored to lawyers and other law firm staff.
