Apr 29/ New York - "Lawyers In The Dock"
nyfederalcriminalpractice.com reports:
The investigation and prosecution of lawyers for their lawyering is different carry the potential to chill creative and zealous advocacy, they merit special precautions and scrutiny. In fact, the ABA includes several recommendations in its "Standards on Prosecutorial Investigations" on how defense counsel should be prosecuted, including noting that "the prosecutor's office should protect against the use of false allegations as a means of harassment or abuse that may impact the independence of the defense counsel or the Constitutionally protected right to counsel." (Click here for the complete set of standards.). That's not to say that lawyers should get a free pass with the claim that their conduct was mere advocacy (see here for Professor Gillers' tough comments on lawyers who hide behind their advocate status), but the line between ethical advocacy and criminal conduct can be a fine one and in the eye of the beholder.
This fascinating issue will be the subject of a roundtable discussion at the Association of the Bar of the City of New York tomorrow evening from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.

May 6 / East Palo Alto, CA - Obstacles and Opportunities: eCommerce on Both Sides of the Atlantic
The law governing eCommerce in both the U.S. and the European Union is changing rapidly. A recent decision by the European Court of Justice addressed several important eCommerce issues, but it raised as many questions as it answered. In the U.S., courts have shed more light on how trademark and copyright law applies to eCommerce, but contradictions and inconsistencies remain. Whether your company sells goods on the Internet, builds platforms for electronic transactions or advertises on the web, new developments on both sides of the Atlantic will affect your business.
Bingham and Santa Clara Law's High Tech Law Institute invite you to join us for an interactive panel discussion on eCommerce in the U.S. and Europe and what you need to know about recent changes in the law. Topics to be discussed include:
* The European Court of Justice decision on the Google lawsuits
* The Second Circuit opinion in Tiffany v. eBay and the eBay disputes litigated in France
* The status and outcomes of keyword cases in the U.S.
* Recent first sale and fair use decisions
* Updates on the DMCA and related eCommerce statutes

First Sale Doctrine - On-Demand MCLE
Copyright law's first sale doctrine might seem straightforward. On its face, it tells us that, after the first sale of a particular object that embodies a copyrighted work, the copyright holder's rights are exhausted, and the relevant embodiment is therefore free to flow in the stream of commerce. But what happens if the original buyer agrees by contract not to resell? And what if the original sale is not a sale at all, but instead is characterized by the parties as a license? And what if that embodiment is not physical but instead digital?
This edition of the IP Colloquium IP Colloquium sets out to understand the first sale doctrine, tracing its public policy justifications and comparing copyright's approach to that of antitrust.

In his presentation, Liptak will discuss the Supreme Court in a time of rapid change. After a decade without new justices in the final years of the Rehnquist Court, the Roberts Court has welcomed three new justices and it may well see a fourth appointment in the near future. Liptak will also consider the leadership of Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr., the impact of Justice Sonia Sotomayor and the implications for the Court of the fact that it has become, given Democratic control of Congress and the Presidency, the most conservative of the three branches of government.
