April 19+26: 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 growth in the amount of information available and the many different platforms on which to obtain it impact 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.
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.

April 25: It’s Complicated: Facebook’s Liability for Users’ Posts

Facebook lets users describe their relationship status as “it’s complicated,” but it also enables them to commit fraud, harassment, and invasion of privacy, or to spread all kinds of disinformation, defamation, and intimate images. When is Facebook (or any other platform) legally responsible for users’ bad behavior? When should they be? The current answer is found mostly in a federal statute, 47 U.S.C. § 230, that immunizes online intermediaries from liability for most user-generated content. Section 230 is the subject of constant controversy and numerous reform proposals, but has remained largely intact since 1996. Is it time to change it? If so, how?
In this Continuing Legal Education webinar, Minnesota Law’s William McGeveran, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and Gray, Plant, Mooty, Mooty & Bennett Professor of Law, will moderate a conversation with two of the nation’s foremost experts on Section 230 and explore both its history and its possible futures:

• Danielle Citron, the Jefferson Scholars Foundation Schenck Distinguished Professor in Law and Caddell and Chapman Professor of Law at the University of Virginia, was named a 2019 MacArthur Fellow (colloquially known as the “genius award’) for her work on cyberstalking and intimate privacy. Her book Hate Crimes in Cyberspace (2014) was a call to action against gender-biased online harassment. Professor Citron has written extensively about legal culpability for online platforms, most recently in a forthcoming Boston University Law Review essay, “How to Fix Section 230,” and in her upcoming book, The Fight for Privacy: Protecting Dignity, Identity, and Love in the Digital Age.
• Jeff Kosseff, Associate Professor of Cybersecurity Law at the United States Naval Academy, wrote the seminal book on Section 230, The Twenty-Six Words that Created the Internet (2019). He received a 2019 Andrew Carnegie Fellowship and frequently writes, speaks, and testifies in Congress about the regulation of online speech. Professor Kosseff is also the author of the first comprehensive textbook on U.S. cybersecurity law, and he just published a new book, The United States of Anonymous: How the First Amendment Shaped Online Speech. Before his academic career, he practiced cybersecurity and privacy law, and prior to law school he was a journalist for The Oregonian, where he was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for national reporting.

April 22+29: The Emergent Right to Repair

In years past, consumers didn’t think twice about taking a broken car or toaster to a local repair shop or even fixing it themselves. But with today’s software-enabled products, consumers can no longer take those options for granted. In response to legal and technological restrictions, a growing movement advocating a right to repair has emerged, despite pushback from some quarters.
The right to repair is at the center of a key policy debate. The Biden Administration and a unanimous FTC recently voiced support for competition and consumer choice in repair markets. Legislation under consideration in dozens of states would facilitate consumer and third-party repair. And regulators around the world have begun to embrace the repair agenda. But manufacturers and device makers remain skeptical of an unfettered right to repair, citing concerns over intellectual property rights, reliability, security, and lost revenue.
This symposium will consider the complex, overlapping set of policy questions at the center of the repair debate. How do restrictions on repair, or their elimination, affect competition? How might policymakers resolve potential tensions between the right to repair and the intellectual property rights of device makers? Would the consumer benefits of open repair markets outweigh their risks? And what legislative solutions or other policy interventions are best-suited to address these questions?

April 19: The Vincent Chin Trial Re-Enactment and Panel

In 1982, at the height of anti-Japanese sentiment, Chinese-American Vincent Chin was murdered in Detroit by two white autoworkers who said, "it's because of you mother** that we're out of work."
Two assailants beat him with a baseball bat, matching their physical violence with a stream of racial epithets. He died shortly before what would have been his wedding day.
When the Wayne County Circuit Judge fined the killers a mere $3,000 and three years probation, Asian Americans around the country galvanized for the first time to form a real community and movement. Organizers took their concerns to the federal government, arguing that Vincent Chin was targeted and ultimately killed because he was an Asian American. The ensuing case marked the first time the federal government ever pursued a civil-rights claim on behalf of an Asian American person.
On Tuesday, April 19th, APALSA will honor not only Vincent Chin, but also the memory of countless victims of Anti-Asian violence. Please join us for the Trial Re-enactment of the Vincent Chin case, featuring Judge Denny Chin, Kathy Chin, FLS faculty, and students. After the trial, Professors Bennett Capers and Thomas Lee will lead a panel discussion about the resurgence of anti-Asian violence in the city. Reception to follow on Murphy Terrace.

Race, sex, religion, crime, liberty, patriotism, equality. The Supreme Court’s treatment of these incendiary topics has indelibly shaped public education and the constitutional rights of students around the country. Professor Justin Driver of Yale Law School maintains that since the 1970s, the Supreme Court has regularly abdicated responsibility in protecting students’ rights, risking transforming public schools into Constitution-free zones and in turn jeopardizing our basic constitutional order. How have courts evaluated corporal punishment, random drug tests, strip searches, and transgender students accessing restrooms? Join Justin Driver, author of "The Schoolhouse Gate: Public Education, the Supreme Court, and the Battle for the American Mind," as he analyzes these pressing legal questions regarding public schools and their place in American society.

April 14: The Constitutionalization of Human Rights Law and its Impact on Asylum-Seekers

The constitutionalization of human rights law is on the rise throughout the world. With increasing frequency, countries have either adopted specific human rights provisions or incorporated entire human rights treaties into their national constitutions. While this phenomenon has received much scholarly attention in the abstract, we know virtually nothing about how it affects asylum-seekers in particular. In his talk, Professor Meili will analyze how lawyers representing asylum-seekers in five countries (Colombia, Mexico, South Africa, Uganda, and the United States) have bridged the gap between lofty words on parchment and the protection of asylum-seekers on the ground. In doing so, he will analyze the factors that contribute to the effective use of constitutionalized human rights law in the refugee context, and those which detract from it. He will also highlight the importance of this issue in the current moment, as many refugee-receiving nations ignore their obligations under international law, making domestic law – and national constitutions in particular - an increasingly important vehicle for the protection of refugee rights.
Professor Meili’s talk will be based on his forthcoming book from Oxford University Press, “The Constitutionalization of Human Rights Law: Implications for Refugees”

April 13: Listening To Defendants

Professor Bennett Capers

Professor Capers plans to discuss all the ways we silence criminal defendants, and will make the argument that we have gotten everything wrong. Specifically, he argues that we would be better off if we listened to defendants. Listening to defendants has the potential to help us rethink why people offend. It has the potential to contribute to rehabilitation and perceptions of legitimacy. It can benefit victims by facilitating something akin to restorative justice and by allowing victims their own right of confrontation. And it can benefit the rest of us as well.

April 6: Boilerplate Employment Documents in California: Time to Dust Off, Review and Update to Minimize Risk

The employment relationship generates much documentation. Oftentimes, the routine provisions in these documents are simply recycled from one document to the next and may in fact create, rather than eliminate, legal risks. In this program, we will explore common provisions in employment documents and the danger lurking in outdated “boilerplate” provisions including waivers, confidentiality, non-disparagement, choice-of-law, forum selection, integration, severability, and survival clauses. We will look at best practices to update your employment documents for 2022.
