February 18: Construction Site Accident Claims

It is no secret that a construction site is not a playground. Few places are more potentially dangerous, which is why the list of safety regulations go on and on in an effort to safeguard the wellbeing of construction professionals. Still, humans are flawed and prone to error, with hundreds of injuries and three construction site fatalities each day here in the US.
When these accidents happen, the companies involved are obligated to step in and investigate the details, rendering a thoughtful opinion about the facts surrounding the accident. No two claims are the same, but our analytical method walks through a professional investigation and analysis, like how the scientific method aids in discovery of the workings of our natural world, regardless of the specifics of the claim.
Anyone who works with construction of any kind has an interest in being prepared for construction site accident claims and knowing how to handle them effectively. Insurance professionals need to know how to investigate a claim fairly and thoroughly with the full context of construction site safety standards, legal professionals need the specific knowledge necessary to best represent their clients, and construction professionals should be aware of the process involved in an investigation.

February 18: Artificial Intelligence and Discrimination in Health Care

Artificial intelligence (AI) holds great promise for improved health-care outcomes. It has been used to analyze tumor images, to help doctors choose among different treatment options, and to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. But AI also poses new hazards, including discrimination. 
 This talk will focus on several forms of AI bias and analyze their implications. It will argue that algorithmic discrimination in medicine can violate civil rights laws when it exacerbates health disparities or perpetuates inequities. It will also offer several legal and technical interventions that can be implemented to promote algorithmic fairness.

February 24: Military Use of Biomedical Performance Enhancements: Ethical, Legal, and Policy Concerns

Biological interventions to improve performance, such as amphetamines, have a long history of military use, and in the future, may include more advanced biotechnologies. This presentation discusses the ethics of using biomedical enhancements in the military. The presentation begins by describing the distinction between biomedical enhancements and interventions intended to prevent, treat, or mitigate disease. It then sets forth three principles to guide the ethical use of bioenhancements – proportionality, paternalism, and fairness. The presentation applies these principles to concerns raised by military bioenhancement: safety, fairness in access to military reward, carry-over effects to civilian life, whether service members can be ordered to use bioenhancements, and when they may be permitted to do so voluntarily.

January 11: COVID-19 Updates and Information

The COVID crisis has dramatically altered the way courts conduct business, but any judge will tell you, with a sense of pride, that the courts never closed. How have courts – an institution notoriously slow to change – adapted to provide access to justice throughout a pandemic? 
The Center on Civil Justice will be hosting a conference on January 11, 2021, 12pm-5pm, to address these issues. 
The conference will examine the nature of the way courts change and adapt in general, what specific trial and pre-trial rules and procedures have changed (and how), and which of these changes can be used to improve efficiency and access to justice after the COVID crisis passes. 
Title:
Webinar Date+Time:
January 11, 2021 
12:00 PM in Eastern 
Panel 1: Adaption & Access to Justice: How Courts Respond to a Crisis 
How have courts historically adapted to necessity? How have they adapted to the COVID crisis? What tools do courts use to remain flexible, and how have courts continued to provide access to justice? How are pro se parties treated during a pandemic? What about those without internet connections? How do these changes intersect with rules of professional ethics? 
Panelists: Tonya Jenerette (New York City Law Department), Colleen Shanahan (Columbia) 
Panel 2: Pretrial Changes: Depositions, Discovery, and Service of Process 
Across the country, document protocols for depositions are being reexamined, with different solutions cropping up in different jurisdictions. Texas just released new procedural rules with numerous changes – service of process via email and social media (such as Facebook or Twitter) is now permitted. This panel will discuss which pre-trial rules are changing and how, and give recommendations on how they should change for the duration of the crisis. 
Moderator: Elizabeth Cabraser (Lieff Cabraser) Panelists: Evan Chesler (Cravath), Melissa Crane (NY County Supreme Court) 
Panel 3: Trials: Witnesses & Juries 
COVID has led to an increase in bench trials, with new rules. As jury trials resume, new issues arise, balancing safety with due process rights. 
Moderator: Sheila Birnbaum (Dechert) Panelists (in formation): Mark Lanier (Lanier Law Firm), Hon. Barbara Rothstein (W.D. Wash.), Daniel Capra (Fordham) 
Panel 4: Post-COVID: What Innovations Should We Keep? 
When the need for new rules and technologies ends, courts will not go back to the way things were. Some innovations can lead to more efficient courts and better access to justice. Which innovations are working? Which should be kept? 
Moderator: Troy McKenzie (NYU) Panelists (in formation): David Engstrom (Stanford), Daniel Girard (Girard Sharp), Hon. Nathan Hecht (Texas Supreme Court), Hon. Lee Rosenthal (S.D. Texas), Michael Young (JAMS)

January 27: Life Sciences Webinar: 2020 Year in Review

2020 has been referred to as an unprecedented year for the world in so many ways—the pandemic, the California and Washington fires, the racial justice protests and calls to action—but that didn’t stop the Federal Circuit from setting some highly impactful patent law precedent for the life sciences.
On January 27, Fish attorneys Chad Shear and Teresa Lavoie will discuss some of the most important of these developments. Where to begin?
  • How about venue—and we mean that quite literally. We’ll discuss the impact of Valeant v. Mylan on Hatch-Waxman litigation venue. 
  • Skinny labeling and inducement. As patent attorneys, we all know that timing and precise language matter—not only in patent claims, but also on drug labels. We’ll discuss the Federal Circuit’s analysis of the facts and holding in GSK v. Teva. 
  • Many of us experienced our own version of Groundhog Day with respect to our day-to-day lives during the pandemic—each day wasn’t literally the same as the day before, but, wow, did they feel like they were. We’ll explore some patent law Groundhog Day analogies—the doctrine of equivalents in Lilly v. Apotex and 101 patent eligibility in Illumina v. Ariosa.

January 6, 11+22: Navigating the New Town Square: Cultivating Competency in Basic Online Legal Research

“The Internet is becoming the town square for the global village of tomorrow.” -- Bill Gates
The goal of this free online continuing legal education program is to assist attorneys in navigating online legal research so they are more confident and competent when researching subjects important to their work. The growth in the amount of information available and the many different platforms on which to obtain it impacts the way attorneys practice law. It also brings forth more issues and new laws that your clients may face. The many ways technology can aid attorneys in locating the best and most on-point statutes, caselaw, secondary materials and all relevant materials can be overwhelming. As the comments to the model rules of professional conduct state, to maintain competency a lawyer should keep abreast of the benefits and risks associated with relevant technology

January 27: Addressing Bias in the Virtual Workplace for California Employers

Bias in all its forms has become an area of significant focus in recent years. From the #MeToo movement to Black Lives Matter, addressing bias has become a national conversation and is a priority for the incoming Biden administration. This national conversation has translated into a host of legal developments in the past few years that amount to a sea-change in the legal landscape surrounding discrimination and harassment in the workplace. These changes are all noteworthy, and in some cases, momentous. As expected, California remains at the forefront of many of these developments. Implementing best practices to comply with these new laws in the traditional workplace alone present challenges for employers. With the COVID-19 pandemic forcing many employees to work remotely, these challenges only became greater. Join us for a 1 hour CLE presentation for bias credit as we explore the challenges that employers face in addressing bias in the virtual workplace, and the best practices to mitigate the risks posed by those challenges.

January 28: Window and Door Basics

Nobody likes learning the basics, but even Kurt Cobain had to learn how to tune his guitar, read music, and practice his scales before becoming the icon we remember him as today. This program is the fundamental tool kit of knowledge for the complicated and highly specific world of windows and doors.
 This introductory lesson will arm even a layman with knowledge about industry vocabulary, design choices, and the building codes and standards for windows and doors. Never again will you say, “It’s just a window.”
 No other building element is more regulated, so the lessons in this program are beneficial for anyone looking to increase their professional understanding of fenestration. Insurance professionals who frequently encounter claims, attorneys struggling through complicated defects and code violations, and anyone with a vested interest in understanding quality building elements would find this program worth the investment of their time.
