The course also introduces the foreign earned income exclusion and walks through how to determine a taxpayer’s foreign tax home\, abode\, and qualifying foreign earned income. By the end of the course\, practitioners will have a clear framework for analyzing international individual tax situations\, giving them the confidence to spot potential issues early and advise clients correctly. By the end of this course you will be able to: •    Determine whether a taxpayer is a U.S. person or nonresident alien •    Apply sourcing rules to common income items •    Understand when foreign earned income may qualify for exclusion •    Recognize common audit and compliance risk areas   Speaker Sarah Wilkinson\, CPA\, Wilkinson Accounting Solutions\, LLC Bio | LinkedIn The views and opinions of MBA CLEs are not necessarily those of the Mecklenburg Bar Association/26th Judicial District Bar.

This CLE is hosted by the MBA Civil Litigation and Labor & Employment Sections. Section members can register for a discounted rate of $15. Program Overview When a personal injury/workers’ compensation case is settled\, or getting close to settlement\, the finish line may be further away than one may think. In the year 2026\, ERISA health plans\, and their recovery agents\, are increasingly pursuing aggressive reimbursement and subrogation claims against settlement proceeds\, creating high stakes disputes that can dramatically impact injured plaintiffs\, their counsel\, litigation tactics\, and recovery strategies. This CLE will explore the evolving landscape of the ERISA reimbursement arena\, the powerful remedies available to ERISA plans\, and the critical distinctions and tactics that can determine whether an ERISA plan’s claim succeeds\, is wilted\, or entirely fails. Through a practical examination of leading statutes\, regulations\, case law\, and practical strategies\, attendees will gain valuable insight which will allow them to identify\, evaluate\, and challenge ERISA reimbursement claims. This program will provide the tools needed to navigate one of the most complex and consequential intersections between insurer subrogation claims and personal injury/workers’ compensation litigation. Join us for a timely and engaging discussion on the continuing battle over settlement dollars\, and who ultimately gets to keep them. Speakers Zachary D.

Program Overview Legal professionals operate in environments where cognitive clarity\, sound judgment\, and composed communication are not aspirational qualities—they are professional requirements. Yet the physiological reality of chronic stress systematically undermines every one of them. Presented by Tish Saint Mary\, Pharmacist\, this session examines the biology of the stress response and its direct impact on attorney performance. Participants will understand precisely how sustained high-pressure work alters memory\, attention\, communication\, and decision-making—and learn evidence-based\, immediately applicable tools to restore regulation and protect professional effectiveness. This is not a mindfulness session. It is clinical education grounded in pharmacology and neuroscience\, translated into practical tools attorneys can use on the day of a deposition\, negotiation\, trial\, or difficult client conversation. By the end of this session\, participants will be able to: •    Explain how the physiological stress response alters memory\, focus\, communication\, and legal reasoning •    Identify how nervous system dysregulation drives reactive decision-making and reduced performance under high-stakes pressure •    Recognize patterns of stress contagion within legal teams and their downstream effects on culture\, communication\, and client service •    Apply real-time regulation strategies—including controlled breathwork\, grounding\, and pause-response protocols—to maintain clarity during demanding legal work •    Evaluate how physiological regulation supports ethical judgment\, professional responsibility\, and client outcomes •    Develop a personal pre-performance protocol for high-pressure legal events including trial\, negotiation\, deposition\, and client interaction Speaker Tish Saint Mary\, Licensed Clinical Pharmacist LinkedIn Tish Saint Mary is a licensed clinical pharmacist with over 25 years of experience in high-stakes\, decision-driven clinical environments. Her work translates pharmacology and neuroscience into practical performance education. She does not teach wellness theory. She teaches attorneys what their nervous system is doing under pressure—and what to do about it.   The views and opinions of MBA CLEs are not necessarily those of the Mecklenburg Bar Association/26th Judicial District Bar.

Program Overview In Season Four\, the Lincoln Lawyer goes from defending clients into the cold reality of a prison cell when he is charged with the murder of Sam Scales\, a former client.  The evidence: Sam Scales was a grifter and did not pay his legal bills\, his dead body was found in the truck of Mickey Haller’s Lincoln. and a bullet matching the murder weapon was found in Haller’s garage.  In this presentation\, we will discuss the warrantless stop and search of Haller’s Lincoln\, speedy trial issues regarding Haller’s upcoming trial\, trial tactics including impeachment and the use of expert witnesses during litigation.  In the second hour of this presentation\, we will discuss ethical rules regarding attorney client privilege and\, a prosecutor’s ethical rules regarding probable cause\, ethical rules regarding discovery\, and unprofessional conduct during litigation.  Attorneys have described this Lincoln Lawyer series as informative\, entertaining\, relatable and an “Excellent program–interesting\, engaging and practical.” Speaker The presenter\, Philip Bogdanoff\, is a nationally recognized presenter who has over 40 years of experience as a prosecutor and has litigated cases involving allegations of juror misconduct.‬ Previously\, he served as an assistant prosecutor in Akron\, Ohio for close to thirty years.

Program Overview For decades\, Hollywood has warned us that artificial intelligence might turn against humanity. Today\, the more immediate threat for attorneys is not a murderous robot—it is an AI fabricated citation or record that leads to sanctions.  In this entertaining and practical presentation\, attendees will watch memorable clips from classic AI movies and explore what Hollywood’s darkest warnings can teach lawyers about using this rapidly evolving technology. We will examine real cases in which attorneys were sanctioned for submitting fictitious authorities\, failing to verify AI-generated work and making misrepresentations to courts.  Most importantly\, the program will offer practical safeguards attorneys can use to harness AI’s benefits without placing their clients\, careers\, or licenses at risk. Join us for a Space Odyssey through legal ethics—and learn how to be the Terminator regarding the improper use of AI before your next filing becomes the sequel.
