The January MCBA General Membership Meeting, A Discussion with the 34th Attorney General of CA, Rob Bonta, will be held virtually on Wednesday, January 24th from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM. 1.0 General CLE.
Join MCBA as we hear from California Attorney General Rob Bonta and his staff. AG Bonta will provide a high-level overview of what is currently happening in the California Department of Justice. After that, Special Assistant Attorney General Eleanor Blume will discuss the high-profile lawsuit the DOJ has brought on California’s behalf against tech giant Meta, arguing that its Instagram and Facebook platforms use psychologically manipulative features that are harming kids’ mental health.

Civility & Ethics |
| By
Mary Stearns and Tom McCallister with Guest Editor Robyn Christo |
|
