The American Bar Association’s Continuing Legal Education (CLE) conference on HIV/AIDS Law and Practice: From Local Client to Global Workforce, will convene a dynamic group of lawyers, policy advocates, and public health experts from across the country to explore cutting-edge legal issues affecting people living with HIV/AIDS and the people around them.

The conference will include a business track covering key linkages among employers, employees and HIV, the critical challenges HIV/AIDS poses to small businesses and multi-national corporations alike, and the private sector’s vital role in combating HIV/AIDS at home and abroad.
