## Resource

As technology rapidly accelerates, drones and drone law move further from being a niche. In fact, drones are generating legal issues that cut across criminal defense, civil litigation, municipal law, real estate, entertainment, and more. Chances are you already represent clients utilizing drones in some capacity and if not, you may soon as the FAA’s new regulations will make them even more widely accessible in commerce and safety alike. In this introductory, sky level overview, Lauren Brown, Civica Law Group, will guide attorneys through the governing legal framework for drone use in California and beyond. Topics include FAA regulations, Fourth Amendment considerations and impacts on privacy, the public interest exception, and the evolving legal questions raised by advanced aerial surveillance. This program will address the a spectrum of clients operating in this space, from private individuals and commercial operators to public agencies and first responders, and what counsel needs to know when advising each. Audio versions of Beverly Hills Bar Association programs are eligible for Self-Study CLE credit in California. Visit www.bhba.org/podcasts for more information.
