Secretly Recording Workplace Conversations Makes for Risky Business
While employees and employers have legitimate reasons to want to record work-related conversations, potential employees or even clients, they should be aware of the potential legal repercussions for doing so secretly. Federal and state wiretapping laws seek to protect parties in a conversation from being secretly recorded and to keep non-participants from “listening in.” Katelyn Barham breaks down the legality of recording phone and video chat conversations, the consequences of doing so without proper consent and best practices for companies who do business in more than one state are on the minds of many employers.
In this installment of Crime & Punishment, Wade Davies interviews Stephen D. Crump, executive director of the Tennessee District Attorneys General Conference (TNDAGC), which serves as the governmental liaison to all the other state government agencies, the governor and the Tennessee General Assembly, and provides human resources, fiscal and information technology support to over 1300 employees across the state's 32 Judicial Districts.
A Successful Legislative Year for TBA
The Tennessee General Assembly adjourned on April 25, and 2024 proved to be a successful legislative year for the TBA. All of the legislative initiatives drafted by TBA Sections were passed by the General Assembly and signed into law by the governor. Additionally, TBA secured an additional $8.9 million of additional funding for court appointed attorneys representing the indigent. Read more about the TBA's legislative efforts.
TBA's Annual Convention was held in Memphis in June. See photos from the events.
