5. December 3: Employment Termination and At-Will Employment – Rita Roberts-Turner, Klein Solomon Mills

While most U.S. employment is considered "at-will," there are key exceptions, such as terminations that violate public policy, breach implied contracts, or are acts of retaliation.

6. December 10: Workplace Safety and Health – Luther Wright, Ogletree Deakins

The Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) requires safe work environments, proper training, hazard communication, and injury reporting. It also covers workers' compensation laws.
