December 27: Navigating The New Town Square: Cultivating Competency In Basic Online Legal Research

Bill Gates once said, “The Internet is becoming the town square for the global village of tomorrow.” For attorneys and for all individuals, our lives, professionally and privately have expanded through the global power of the internet. The vast amount of information available and the many different platforms to obtain that information grow daily and have grown exponentially over the last 25 years. This information and technology 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. The comments to the model rules of professional conduct governing attorneys state that to maintain competency a lawyer should keep abreast…[of] the benefits and risks associated with relevant technology. The goal of this course is to assist attorneys in navigating online legal research so they feel more confident and competent when researching subjects important to their work.

January 18: Research & Drafting Techniques For Finance: Replacing LIBOR

In July of 2017, the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority announced that LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) will be phased out in 2021, as regulators look to replace it with a more reliable alternative. LIBOR is a benchmark rate that is calculated from reported interest rates that select banks pay to borrow from each other on an unsecured basis. As the transition away from LIBOR towards a new, alternative benchmark rate is well underway, there are several steps lenders and finance counsel should take now to amend existing transaction documentation and to manage new transactions. This course will discuss the history, present and future of LIBOR.

December 13: An Update On The Committee On Foreign Investment In The U.S.

The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) has authority to review certain investment transactions by foreign persons in U.S. businesses. 
Through sweeping legislative changes in 2018 through the Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act, CFIUS’s jurisdiction expanded significantly and mandated filings with respect to certain covered transactions for the first time. Since that time, various changes have occurred with the CFIUS process and the U.S. Government has continued to use the process as a powerful tool in protecting U.S. national security. In September, President Biden issued an Executive Order on Ensuring Robust Consideration of Evolving National Security Risks by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States
This session will explore CFIUS’s jurisdiction and the procedures and process of filings with CFIUS. The session will also explore efforts by CFIUS’s Office of Monitoring & Enforcement with respect to “non-notified” transactions.

January 25: Researching Experts And Judges

Judges and Experts are two of the key players in any litigation. A Judge has wide discretion in all facets of a case, and it is important to know their likes and dislikes. Just as critical is to investigate the Experts (including your own) involved in a case. This seminar looks at the various types of online resources that are available to investigate Judges and Experts as well as tips and strategies on how that information might be utilized. This seminar will address how to use online resources to learn more about those individuals who hear your cases. Even if you are not the one who conducts the research, just knowing what resources are available may help you better prepare the presentation of your cases.

We will explain the new laws scheduled to take effect in 2023, review important U.S. Supreme Court and California court rulings, discuss pending legislation and key court decisions (including the 9th Circuit’s pending decision regarding AB 51), and, of course, review COVID-19 requirements that remain in effect.

December 6: Leveraging Technology to Prepare Briefs with Greater Efficiency and Accuracy

This course focuses on the importance of accuracy and efficiency in the review and preparation of briefs and motions. In particular, it stresses an attorney’s duty of competence, which includes an obligation to accurately cite and quote legal authorities in the briefs presented to the courts, as well as the duty to cite only valid legal authorities and to disclose adverse authorities. Additionally, it addresses the duty lawyers owe to their clients to work as efficiently as possible in the preparation of briefs and motions, which includes a concomitant obligation to leverage available technologies to assist in performing these tasks. Ultimately, the course illuminates the legal technologies currently available to assist lawyers with reviewing and preparing briefs accurately and efficiently.
Topics of Discussion: 
I. Explanation of the relevant ABA model rules requiring attorneys to keep abreast of legal technology to assist in servicing clients
II. Retrieving and reviewing cited authorities more efficiently with legal technology, e.g., LMO’s “get cited docs”
III. Validating citations more accurately and efficiently with legal technology, e.g, LMO’s “check cite format”
IV. Preparing and updating tables of authorities more efficiently with legal technology, e.g., LMO’s “prepare TOA”
V. Validating quotes more accurately and efficiently with legal technology, e.g, LMO’s “check quotes”
VI. Researching concepts from an opponent’s brief more efficiently with legal technology, e.g., LMO’s “find precedent”
VII. Gathering intelligence efficiently regarding companies, law firms, judges and other entities in an opposing brief using legal technology, e.g., LMO’s “find” tool

December 15: Eliminating Bias in the Legal Profession

The goal of this CLE presentation is to discuss bias and where it comes from; why it is harmful; how to detect it and how to eliminate it from our behavior as legal professionals. Practicing law is a bias landmine. From whether we believe a witness or opposing counsel; to how we counsel those in our organization we readily apply judgments to others—coloring our perceptions and thoughts. There is no cure for bias, but you can be more mindful, conscious and monitor your thoughts better. These are the four main questions we will answer in our discussion today: What is bias? What are unconscious and confirmation biases? What are the effects and costs of bias? And, finally how can we avoid bias through thinking about our thinking and implementing best practices.
