2:30 pm - 3:30 pm ESTThis session walks employment attorneys through the statutory patchwork, testing technology requirements, and policy drafting decisions employers must confront as state laws increasingly prohibit adverse hiring action based solely on cannabis metabolite results. Attendees will learn how to audit and redraft conditional offer letters, drug-testing protocols, and handbook provisions to comply with jurisdiction-specific protections while preserving lawful on-duty prohibitions and safety-sensitive carve-outs. Attorneys will leave with a practical framework for counseling multi-state employers on defensible cannabis testing policies in the wake of cases like Sanders v. Levari and Zanetich v. Wal-Mart.
Erik P. PramschuferSarah Seidel 3:40 pm - 4:40 pm ESTThis session equips defense counsel with the litigation tools to defeat or narrow cannabis failure-to-hire claims from the moment a complaint lands. Attorneys will analyze the leading appellate decision in Zanetich v. Wal-Mart, the split Pennsylvania federal rulings in Davis and Tyler, federal preemption doctrine, and the full damages exposure spectrum across key jurisdictions. By the end of the session, attendees will be able to evaluate forum, sequence motions to dismiss, assess class certification vulnerability, and advise employer clients on jurisdiction-specific risk before litigation is filed.
