Message from the Chair of the New Lawyer Division
Greetings NLD,
It has been a pleasure serving this community as chair of the New Lawyer Division! One of the NLD’s primary goals is to serve as a voice for the NLD membership while providing information and resources based on our community’s unique and specific needs. New this year, we conducted a few member surveys in order to shed light on real issues affecting our community, including civility towards new lawyers and new lawyers’ acclimation to the post-pandemic workplace. Please take two minutes to complete our current poll on lawyer-targeted scams so that the NLD can report on how this issue affects new lawyers and law students.

The Intersection of California and Federal Leave of Absence Laws Amidst COVID-19
CDF Labor Law LLP
There are many laws that provide for time off, paid or unpaid, with some providing job protection during leaves of absence. These laws include the California Family Rights Act (CFRA), Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA), Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA), Paid Family Leave, California Pregnancy Disability Leave Law (PDLL), California Paid Sick Leave, Workers’ Compensation and more. Understanding and applying these various laws is a challenge, especially amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.
