March 31:The Basics of Civil Litigation and Expert Witnesses

Pete Fowler Construction has worked on thousands of civil litigation cases over the last 20 years, so we know a thing or two about the subject. But a little bit of knowledge is dangerous, and a lot of knowledge can make a simple explanation harder than it needs to be.
For this reason, "The Basics of Civil Litigation and Expert Witnesses" program is aimed at
(A.) non-lawyers who need to understand the process (that's us), and
(B.) lawyers who need to explain the process to non-lawyers.
Our company's job on all litigated matters is to help clients figure out what happened, what should have happened, how the problem should be solved, how much it will cost, and who is responsible. The hardest part is translating the technical speak of building design, engineering, estimating, contracting, construction, and investigations, into plain-English that everyone can understand and use to make smart decisions. Our lawyer clients have the same problem trying to explain the litigation process to the non-lawyers they work with to bring cases to a successful end (something this program aims to help with).
Civil litigation is a suit based on non-criminal disputes, including contract disputes, property damage claims, personal injuries, construction defect litigation, landlord-tenant disputes, and more. This program is a map of the terrain for understanding how civil litigation works and where expert witnesses fit in the process.

March 24: Don't Take Heat for that Tweet: Legal Ethics and Social Media

Practicing law in the digital age is rife with ethical minefields. Changes to the Model Rules of Professional Conduct have ushered in new expectations as attorneys are now held to a higher standard of digital competence. Ethics opinions across the country are addressing issues like the limits of advising clients about what to “take down” from their Facebook pages, contact with witnesses via social media, and even researching the online profiles of prospective jurors. 
Join speakers John Browning, J.D. and Sally Field, J.D. to discuss this ever evolving topic. As a lawyer, the author of The Lawyer’s Guide to Social Media and two more books on social media and the law, John Browning has spent a great deal of time examining this issue and will offer some valuable insight into emerging issues. Sally Field is an attorney of more than 30 years and has spoken on numerous ethics topics over the years.

April 22: The Basics of Insurance for Construction and Legal Professionals

If you are a construction professional and think you already know enough about insurance to protect yourself, your loved ones, your staff, your clients, and the public... Then you're a danger to society.
We are serious. Insurance is necessary, and it is time to buckle down and learn the basics. 
 In addition to traditional building inspection & testing, estimating, and quality & construction management services, every year for the last 20 our business has worked on hundreds of building claims& litigation matters, including expert witness testimony. We have been hired to analyze the liability of many thousands of project players. In this program we will apply our experience to explain why mitigating risk is important, we will lay out the types of insurance relevant to the building industry, and we will define who is involved in every step of the process.
While this program is inherently beneficial to construction and legal professionals looking to expand their understanding of insurance a sit applies to them, insurance professionals would benefit from this program as a tool for communicating with clients who do not know the first thing about insurance. The curse of knowledge causes professionals to unconsciously assume they share a base of knowledge about the subject they deal with every day. Even when attempting to explain “just the basics,” experts struggle to reduce a subject they know so much about down to the true basics.

April 21: Perspectives on Taxation Lecture Series: Automated Legal Guidance

The IRS, like other government agencies, is tasked with communicating a complex statutory and regulatory scheme to members of the public, in order to enable them to comply with the law. In our work, we illustrate how this task requires the IRS to rely upon “simplexity,” where the government presents complex law as though it is simple, without engaging in simplification of the underlying law.
We explore how this phenomenon is only going to become more prominent and important as the IRS, and other government agencies, turn to automated legal guidance to educate the public about the law.

March 23: "Happy" vs. Healthy – How Toxic Positivity Could be Affecting Your Practice

Toxic positivity is the excessive and ineffective overgeneralization of a happy, optimistic state across all situations and can result in the denial, minimization, and invalidation of the authentic human emotional experience. Just like anything done in excess, when positivity is used to cover up or silence the human experience, it becomes toxic. By disallowing the existence of certain feelings, we fall into a state of denial and repressed emotions. 
The truth is, humans are flawed. We get jealous, angry, resentful, and greedy. By pretending that we are “positive vibes all day,” we deny the validity of a genuine human experience.
In this free Continuing Legal Education webinar, experts will discuss why we engage in toxic positivity, how and why it’s harmful, antidotes, and how the desire by lawyers to want to solve their clients’ problems can affect their practices.

May 20: The AML Act of 2020 and U.S. Compliance with the FATF 40

The Anti-Money Laundering Act (AMLA) of 2020 became law on January 1st as part of the National Defense Authorization Act when Congress overrode then President Trump's veto.
The AMLA has been billed as the most consequential AML law enacted by Congress “in decades.” Among its many provisions are the establishment of a beneficial ownership registration database, increased subpoena power to obtain records from foreign financial institutions, expanded whistleblower rewards and protections, and new BSA violations and enhanced penalties for repeat and egregious violators.
Following an update to the US 2016 mutual evaluation, in May of 2020 the U.S. was rated compliant on 9 of the 40 Recommendations, largely compliant on 22, partially compliant on 5 and not compliant on 4.
Did the AMLA bring it closer to compliance? What provisions in the AMLA did not address the 32 Recommendations for which the U.S. was not fully compliant, and why were they added to the AMLA instead of provisions that would bring the U.S. closer to compliance?

March 3, 8 + 19: 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.

March 10: How Policing Reinforces Racial Segregation In The 21st Century

Technocratic debates about police reform typically take a narrow view of the multiple, complex roles that policing plays in American society, focusing primarily on police involvement in systems of crime control. Yet, we know that policing plays many roles in society other than fighting crime.
This project focuses on how routine practices of policing maintain racial residential segregation, one of the central mechanisms of American racial inequality. It illustrates six ways that American policing perpetuates residential segregation, drawing from qualitative research in several American cities. Finally, the project engages a fundamental question that emerges in the context of racial justice movements today: Is an anti-segregation approach to policing possible in a society that is structured through race?

Speaker:
Kenneth Rijock is a financial crime consultant. He has more than 25 years experience in the field of money laundering, as a practicing “laundryman,” financial compliance consultant, and trainer/lecturer to law and intelligence agencies including the FBI. He has testified three times before U.S. Congressional committees. Rijock is a veteran of the conflict in Vietnam and Cambodia, and holds the Combat Infantryman's Badge and Bronze Star Medal.
 In Miami in the 1980s, Ken Rijock was the middle man between Colombians and the domestic cartels flooding America's streets with cocaine. Every Friday, carrying hundreds of thousands of dollars in a tattered suitcase, he would fly by private jet to a tax haven in the Caribbean. Rijock's operation was responsible for 'cleaning' over $200 million of dirty cash. And, all the time he was in love with a cop.
 It finally came crashing down when a client testified against him. He agreed to go undercover for the DEA, and he now works with banks and governments to track the new generation of money launderers. Ken Rijock tells his story in his book, The Laundry Man.

March 9: The Crime of Complicity: Law and the Bystander from the Holocaust to Today

Join the Holocaust Center for Humanity and Washington State legal professionals for a special virtual Lawyers CLE program & Lunch-and-Learn with Professor Amos Guiora: "The Crime of Complicity: Law and the Bystander from the Holocaust to Today." In addressing the bystander from the perspective of a crime of omission, one of the most important questions is whether we are examining a legal or ethical dilemma.
Professor Guiora proposes that the most appropriate lens is that of a strict legal examination; others suggest this as an ethical dilemma. In his talk, Professor Guiora will address this conflict by presenting the competing tensions between law and ethics.
In addition to legal professionals, this program is open to the public and is a part of the Holocaust Center's weekly Lunch-and-Learn series.
