October 29: Medical Device Regulation: Going from Bad to Worse . . . or Better? with George Horvath

Innovations in medical device technology hold the potential to improve health outcomes across the populace. But these same innovations can inflict widespread harm; by some estimates, medical devices caused 1.7 million injuries and 83,000 deaths between 2008 and 2017. Hence, we need for a regulatory system that ensures safety while simultaneously permitting—or ideally, fostering—innovation. Over the past half-century, Congress and the FDA have created a unique and complex regulatory system that seeks to achieve these goals. But according to many critics, this system is far too lax, allowing devices to reach the market without an adequate assessment of safety; others maintain that FDA regulation is stifling innovation and depriving patients of valuable technology.
This talk will focus on some of the perennial shortcomings of medical device regulation, on how the regulatory framework might be altered to achieve its goals, and, in an era of changing administrative priorities and limited agency resources, on how we might begin to move forward.

September 2: Breached! Cybersecurity 101

With data security incidents and data breaches happening daily, it’s important for attorneys to turn towards one reality—it’s NOT IF a breach or incident will occur—it’s WHEN. 

These incidents are forcing government agencies, companies, law firms, etc. to address, define, and handle these challenges. As cloud technology and big-data analytics have become the norm, cybersecurity risks have increased and it is more important than ever to have both an avoidance and a response plan in place.

 During this 60-minute CLE session, we will cover 

(1) the latest security threats in the news and what’s being done to address/remedy them, 

(2) current data breach laws, 

(3) the roles and responsibilities of government agencies, and 

(4) how to prepare a data breach avoidance plan as well as a data breach response plan. 

After completing this course, you will be able to:

• Identify the latest cybersecurity threats facing the United States

• Understand the roles and responsibilities of various government agencies

• Describe the legal framework surrounding data breaches

• Analyze how cyber breaches have impacted both government entities and companies worldwide

• Develop both a “data breach avoidance plan” and a “data breach response plan”

August 28: Habitability Claims Webinar

Title:
Habitability Claims Webinar

Description:
Introduction Habitability is the conformance of a residence or abode to the implied warranty of habitability ... It is an implied warranty or contract, meaning it does not have to be an express contract, covenant, or provision of a contract. It is a common law right of a tenant or legal doctrine.” Although there is no concise, statutory definition of the term, there are LOTS of regulations mandating the minimum performance requirements of residential property being rented by owners to tenants.

This presentation is a 1-hour walk through Pete Fowler Construction Services’ (PFCS) Construction Claims Analysis Method applied to Habitability Claims brought by residential tenants against landlords. No two claims are the same, but our analytical method walks us 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.

September 25: Constructed Movements: Extraction and Resistance in Mexican Migrant Communities

Professor Shah's book Constructed Movements examines migration from the perspective of Mexican migrant communities including migrants themselves, their family members and community organizers. These perspectives, gathered over five years, and in four diverse geographic areas of Mexico, form the basis of the book's key insight that migration is part of a larger cycle of colonial extraction from marginalized Mexican communities to benefit Mexican and U.S. elites. The book also profiles community resistance to the extractive cycle of migration and outlines possible ways that U.S. policies could be shifted to recognize and reverse migration as extraction and support the abolition democracy work being done by Mexican migrant communities.
Join us as we welcome Professor Shah in conversation with Fordham University School of Law's Professor Gordon.

September 24: Understanding Executive Orders: Presidential Power and the Legal Response

Since taking office on January 20, President Trump has issued a far-reaching series of executive orders targeting key areas of federal policy—from the legal profession and education to immigration and administrative governance.
This session places these actions in historical and constitutional context, tracing the evolving boundaries of executive power and the legal mechanisms intended to check it. It will also explore how these orders compare with prior exercises of presidential authority and how they fit within established constitutional frameworks.

October 14: Unmasking the Financialization of Healthcare with Jacqueline Fox

Financialization of healthcare drains our current system of resources it needs to provide care. It occurs when money is siphoned off for private profit through mechanisms such as rent seeking, gamesmanship, and exploitative price setting. This is not an ethically neutral activity, and the people profiting in this way ought to justify why they are entitled to this money, given the foreseeable negative effects what they are doing has on people’s health. This important problem is masked by current accounting methods and healthcare billing methods, which need to be changed to allow for a more transparent assessment of what is really occurring.
