SUMMARY:Oklahoma Paralegal Association March Lunch & Learn
DESCRIPTION:Oklahoma Paralegal Association\nWhat a “Blue Whale” of a Case Taught Me About Complex Commercial Litigation. \nIn 2022\, a group of dedicated law enforcement began working on what became a whale of a case. One target moved about 70 tons of marijuana during one 10-day period. Another disguised a sprinter van to look like an Amazon delivery van. In less than a year\, the operation seized over 30 firearms and more than 206\,500 pounds of marijuana—roughly the size of an adult blue whale. And that was just the beginning. \nFormer Federal Prosecutor Wilson McGarry prosecuted this multi-state case\, which required hard work\, dedication\, creativity\, and tenacity. Mr. McGarry learned that the skills required by attorneys and paralegals to lead complex federal investigations and try cases to a federal jury are invaluable in civil or criminal practice and to protecting clients\, both individual and corporate. \nIn high-stakes legal matters\, the best defense truly is an offense that understands and anticipates the next move\, knows what cards to play\, and isn’t afraid of trial. \nLearning objectives: \n1. Provide guidance to paralegals on analyzing evidence and providing litigation support;\n2. Explain how the strategic role of the paralegal in supporting the attorney on a complex case is paramount to a successful outcome;\n3. Explain how the paralegal’s support in case at hand can translate to private practice and other areas of the law. \nCLE HOURS = 1 Substantive

SUMMARY:Oklahoma Paralegal Association January Lunch & Learn
DESCRIPTION:Oklahoma Paralegal Association\nOPA January Lunch & Learn: The End of the HIPAA Reproductive Health Attestation Rule \nSynopsis: \nLegal update on the HIPAA attestation requirements and helpful steps for paralegals to successfully submit a record request. \nThe HIPAA attestation requirement\, introduced by the 2024 final rule for reproductive health care privacy\, is no longer in effect due to a legal challenge. Previously\, this rule required certain entities to obtain a signed statement from requestors of protected health information (PHI) to ensure the information was not for prohibited purposes\, such as investigating lawful reproductive health care. Existing HIPAA rules still needed to be maintained when requesting PHI information. \nCLE HRS: 1.0 Substantive

SUMMARY:Oklahoma Paralegal Association's Lunch and Learn
DESCRIPTION:Early Case Assessment (ECA) has evolved into a form of digital archaeology\, requiring legal professionals to dig through vast data landscapes to identify key players\, uncover critical facts\, and curate the documents that will ultimately shape a case. This session will explore the expanding toolbox available to support that work\, including emerging PII detection tools\, entity extraction technologies\, image analysis resources\, and AI-driven solutions. Attendees will learn the strengths and limitations of each tool\, how they can be combined for more efficient data analysis\, and when to engage advanced support for complex datasets. By understanding how to leverage these technologies effectively\, participants will be better equipped to meet their ECA\, Early Data Assessment (EDA)\, and downstream case-preparation objectives with accuracy and confidence. \n  \nCLE Hours = 1 Substantive
