Third Thursday – Employees, Marijuana, and Other Drugs – How Can Employers Respond?

Webinar | 06.22.23, 12:00 PM EDT - 1:00 PM EDT | CLE Offered

Address

Virtual

Please join us for the next edition of Third Thursday – Crowell & Moring’s Labor and Employment Update, a webinar series dedicated to helping our clients stay on top of developing law and emerging compliance issues.

Employers, courts, and regulators continue to struggle with how to handle various implications of legalization of marijuana and other drugs, including jurisdictions with laws largely prohibiting employers from conducting drug tests for marijuana or penalizing employees for off-duty marijuana use. These issues are complicated by drug testing obligations imposed on certain employers, particularly government contractors.

In particular, employers are assessing the merits of their existing drug policies and mandatory drug testing programs, especially when weighed against concerns about employee retention and morale. Our webinar will explore the changes in state and local laws and this balance of concerns facing employers. Our panel will discuss risk mitigation strategies and best practices for employers in this area.

Rethinking "the Administrative State" - Takeaways From the Supreme Court's 2025–26 Term

The Supreme Court's 2025–26 term took up several momentous cases that will influence and, in key respects, reorient constitutional separation-of-powers principles moving forward. Join the D.C. Bar Administrative Law and Agency Practice Community for a discussion of the key takeaways from the Supreme Court's 2025-26 term. This panel will examine decisions addressing the scope of executive branch authority, including cases involving tariffs issued under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act and the removal of leaders of so-called independent agencies. The discussion will also address significant orders issued on the Court's emergency docket and what these decisions and orders signal about the distinct roles the three branches of federal government play in shaping the administrative state.
