SUMMARY:Drainage Law
DESCRIPTION:Smoky Mountain Paralegal Association\nThis presentation demystifies the complex\, judge-made rules governing surface water and stormwater runoff in Tennessee. Participants will move past the myth that “it’s just weather” to understand the precise boundaries of civil liability when water crosses property lines. By the end of this hour\, attendees will be able to spot high-risk drainage alterations\, understand the legal rights of both upstream and downstream neighbors\, and implement risk-mitigation strategies before breaking ground on any project. \nSession Agenda: November-Agenda.docx \nLearning Objectives: \n1. Adherence to the Natural Flow Rule\nTennessee broadly follows the “Civil Law” or “Natural Flow” rule regarding surface water.\n• The Obligation: Downstream (lower) property owners are legally burdened with a “natural drainage easement”. This means they are required to accept the surface water that naturally flows onto their land from higher\, upstream properties.\n• The Restriction: Lower landowners cannot construct dams\, walls\, or obstructions that block this natural flow and force water back onto the upper landowner’s property.\n2. Prohibition on Artificially Altering Water Flow\nWhile higher landowners have the right to natural drainage\, they are strictly prohibited from unnaturally collecting\, channelizing\, or accelerating water onto lower properties.\n• Liability: If an upper landowner grades their land\, installs pipes\, or builds structures (like large sheds or paved areas) that artificially increase the volume\, velocity\, or direction of water runoff in a way that damages a neighbor’s property\, they can be held strictly liable.\n• Legal Action: In Tennessee courts\, wrongfully interfering with natural surface water drainage and causing adjacent flooding is legally classified as an actionable nuisance or trespass.\n3. Application of the Reasonable Use Rule\nTo prevent the Natural Flow Rule from completely halting necessary land development\, Tennessee courts apply a “Reasonable Use” modification.\n• The Balance: A landowner is permitted to make reasonable changes to their property’s drainage patterns\, provided those changes do not cause unreasonable or foreseeable harm to neighboring lots.\n• Court Evaluation: If a drainage dispute goes to court\, judges will weigh several factors to determine liability:\n• The necessity and utility of the land alteration.\n• Whether the project was completed in a non-negligent manner.\n• The balance between the benefit to the altering landowner versus the severity of the damage caused to the neighbor. \nCLE Hours = 1 Substantive

SUMMARY:Evidence Before Conclusions
DESCRIPTION:Course Materials: Most live webinars include the ability to ask questions during the webinar about the topic\, view slides of the presentation and have access to a recording of the webinar. \n\nDescription: Legal teams increasingly work with public records\, digital material\, witness accounts\, agency statements\, and AI-assisted research. The danger is treating all evidence as equally reliable. Drawing on experience as a detective\, educator\, and investigative journalist\, Brandon Burley presents a repeatable method for labeling evidence\, testing corroboration\, and documenting uncertainty. Participants will explore how to distinguish allegations from findings\, identify unsupported inferences\, verify AI-generated leads\, and build an evidence ledger showing what the record proves—and what it does not.\n\nCourse Year: 2026

SUMMARY:The Opening Is the Trial: Ask the Gray Questions\, Build the Case That Matters\, Give the Jury the Truth
DESCRIPTION:Commonwealth of Virginia Paralegal Association (CVPA)\nThe course will go over how a personal injury case goes through the Commonwealth (state) of Virginia’s courts\, and the rules and procedures etc\, that need to be followed in those courts. \nSession Agenda: Commonwealth-of-Virginia-Paralegal-Association-November-13-2026-CLE-Agenda-.docx \nLearning Objectives: \nObjective 1: Understand How an Opening-First Approach Transforms Personal Injury Litigation\nParticipants will learn how to use the anticipated opening statement as a blueprint for preparing a personal injury case\, from initial client intake and investigation through discovery\, depositions\, and trial. This approach emphasizes identifying the central issues early and ensuring that each stage of litigation advances a cohesive case narrative.\nObjective 2: Apply the Four Gray Questions to Develop a Compelling Personal Injury Case\nParticipants will learn how to apply four foundational questions to personal injury litigation: (1) Why is this case important to the jury? (2) What trust was betrayed? (3) What human value was taken? and (4) Why are we at trial? Participants will explore how these questions help identify critical evidence\, develop case themes\, and communicate the human consequences of negligence.\nObjective 3: Learn How to Tell the Human Story Behind a Personal Injury Case\nParticipants will learn how to move beyond medical bills\, diagnoses\, and other traditional measures of damages to identify and communicate the full human impact of an injury. Through practical examples\, participants will explore how evidence\, witness testimony\, and storytelling can demonstrate what was taken from an injured person and why that loss matters. \nCLE Hours = 1 Substantive

This session is for educational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. \nDisclaimer: NALA recognizes this course as non-substantive CLE. However\, if your state requires technology CLE\, we can adjust this course to reflect technology CLE upon request.

SUMMARY:AI-Powered Contract Management for Paralegals

SUMMARY:A Practical Guide to Claude for Paralegals
DESCRIPTION:Paralegals are doing more with less. The caseload grows\, deadlines do not move\, and the expectation to keep pace – accurately\, efficiently\, and within your authorized scope – has never been higher. AI could help.

You will learn exactly how Claude works\, what it can legitimately support in a paralegal workflow\, and how to use it without exposing yourself or your firm to confidentiality or unauthorized practice of law concerns. You will also discover how Claude connects directly to the tools your firm already uses – Clio\, Microsoft 365\, Google Drive\, and more – and how to automate the administrative work that quietly consumes your day. Watch real paralegal tasks completed live and leave with prompt templates and a practical adoption plan ready to use immediately. Register today! \nUnderstand how Claude works and where it fits in a legal support role.\nGet clear on AI ethics for paralegals: confidentiality obligations\, UPL boundaries\, and how to stay within your authorized scope.\nMaster paralegal-specific prompting techniques that produce consistent\, attorney-reviewable results.\nAutomate the admin work that eats your day: billing narratives\, client status emails\, docket summaries\, and more.\nConnect Claude to Clio\, Microsoft 365\, Google Drive\, and the tools your firm already uses\, no IT department required.\nWatch live demos of real paralegal tasks completed start to finish – and leave ready to replicate them immediately. \n  \nCLE Hours = 3 Technology
