If that’s not an eye-catching seminar title, then I don’t know what is. At a friend’s suggestion, I’ll be virtually attending a webinar entitled “Ebola and the Law: What You Need to Know” this coming Tuesday.

Usually, lawyers get continuing education credits learning about dull regulatory updates and such—there’s only so much you can do to make caselaw updates exciting. This is unlikely to be much different, really, but how many CLE’s talk about what “legal powers and duties health department personnel have if an Ebola outbreak occurs in the U.S.”? We can submit questions for the speakers. I’m sort of tempted to ask if a fuel-air bomb is within the scope of the CDC’s authority (that happened in the movie Outbreak), but I’m afraid I might not like the answer.

I’ll post a follow-up about the webinar itself.
