CGA Event: Ten Things I Learned from Improv Comedy That Made Me a Better Judge (and That Will Make You Better at Your Life and Your Job)
Event Description
In this session, Hon. Julie Kunce Field will share with you the ten (or more) things that she learned from improv comedy that made her a better judge. You will be provided with that list and examples of how those lessons played out in court, and how the practice of improv and the lessons I learned there helped me stay grounded and focused, even in highly stressful, contentious cases. You’ll have a dynamic opportunity practice those same lessons so you can take them with you into your life and wellbeing, and hone them so you are focused, clear, and nimble when you go to work, and are with your family or friends.

Is this the Party to Whom I’m Speaking?
Digital recording of sight and sound seems to be everywhere – inexpensive, innovative, and incognito. Under some circumstances, it is unlawful to record others remotely or without their knowledge. So, what does it mean for interactions between a person in need of protection – and their professional caregivers? Two experienced attorneys will review today’s expectations of privacy and the law, and how it affects efforts by fiduciaries, providers, and facilities, to care for the person.
