Dec 10/St Paul, MN + Web - Domestic Violence and the Hague Convention
"There will be a free CLE on Dec. 10th from 1:30-4 pm at the Guthrie Theater. The CLE will delve into complex aspects of international child abduction by mothers who flee to protect themselves or their children. It will include staged readings by professional actors of actual transcripts of interviews with US mothers and their attorneys from a recent study supported by the US Department of Justice. These readings will be interspersed with discussion by internationally recognized legal and social science experts. There will be 2.5 CLE credits available and it is free. Register now by visiting westlegaledcenter.com. For more information contact catherine.harris@wmitchell.edu."
http://www.wmitchell.edu/theDocket/article.asp?ID=6110
Probing further, the address of the Guthrie is 875 Summit Ave, Saint Paul, MN.
Going to http://westlegaledcenter.com and searching on the event title "Domestic Violence and the Hague Convention" we get one event for that date, which appears to cost $0 and is accreditted in dozens of states. Unfortunately I was unable to figure out how to get a direct link to the event, but I suppose it's not unreasonable for West to require us to go through their home page; exposure to a reasonable amount of advertizing for the for-pay material is only fair, IMO!

Dec 1/ NYC, NY - ZONING: A TO Z
Purchasers of commercial property purchase the property with the intent of using it for a specific purpose or even changing the use. Therefore, it is important for the practitioner who is representing such a purchaser to understand the local zoning regulations that are applicable to the transaction in order to verify that the purchaser can legally do what they want to with the property.
In order for the attorney to provide his or her client with meaningful land use and zoning advice and counsel, it is useful to have an understanding of what zoning regulations are, how they came about, and how they operate. This class provides a comprehensive review and analysis of the history, structure, use and impact of zoning regulations in New York City and the metropolitan area. Emphasis will be placed on practical and legal issues that practitioners need to understand.

Nov 11/Cleveland, OH - "Under Color of Law"
Julian Bond, a world-renowned member of the U.S. civil rights movement, will speak on the role the law has played in both encouraging and thwarting that movement, beginning with the seminal Supreme Court decision of Brown v. Board of Education (1954). While Brown in many ways gave life to the civil rights movement in this country, Mr. Bond will discuss how legal developments continuing to the present day have served at times in fact to discourage progress in that movement. His presentation will include his personal involvement with legal developments in the civil rights movement and his own case involving his seat in the Georgia legislature -- a case that ultimately ended up before the Supreme Court.

Speaker Information:
Julian Bond
former Chairman, NAACP
From his college days as a founder of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) to his Chairmanship of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) (1998 – 2010), Julian Bond has been an active participant in the movements for civil rights, economic justice, and peace, and an aggressive spokesman for the disinherited.
As an activist who has faced jail for his convictions, as a veteran of more than twenty years of service in the Georgia General Assembly, as a writer, teacher, and lecturer, Bond has been on the cutting edge of social change since he was a college student leading sit-in demonstrations in Atlanta in 1960.
Julian Bond graduated from the George School, a co- educational Quaker school in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, in 1957, and entered Morehouse College in Atlanta that same year. While at Morehouse, Bond won a varsity letter as a member of the Morehouse swimming team, helped to found a literary magazine called The Pegasus, and was an intern for Time magazine.
While still a student, Bond was a founder in l960 of the Committee on Appeal for Human Rights (COAHR), the Atlanta University Center student civil rights organization that directed three years of non-violent anti-segregation protests that won integration of Atlanta's movie theaters, lunch counters, and parks. Bond was arrested for sitting-in at the then-segregated cafeteria at Atlanta City Hall.
He was one of several hundred students from across the South who helped to form SNCC on Easter Weekend, 1960, and shortly thereafter became SNCC's Communications Director, heading the organization's printing and publicity departments, editing the SNCC newsletter, The Student Voice, and working in voter registration drives in rural Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Arkansas.
Bond left Morehouse one semester short of graduation in 1961 to join the staff of a new protest newspaper, The Atlanta Inquirer. He later became the paper's managing editor. Bond returned to Morehouse in 1971 and graduated, receiving a Bachelor of Arts degree in English.
Bond was first elected in 1965 to a one-year term in the Georgia House of Representatives in a special election following court-ordered reapportionment of the legislature, but members of the House voted not to seat him because of his outspoken opposition to the war in Vietnam.
Bond won a second election, to fill his vacant seat, in 1966, and again the Georgia House voted to bar him from membership. He won a third election, this time for a two-year term, in November, 1966, and in December the United States Supreme Court ruled unanimously that the Georgia House had violated Bond's rights in refusing him his seat.
He was elected to the State Senate in 1974. When he left office in January 1987, Bond had been elected to public office more times than any other Black Georgian, living or dead.
He had served four terms in the House and six terms in the Senate, ending his tenure only when an unsuccessful congressional race in 1986 prevented him from seeking re-election to the Senate. In the Senate, Bond became the first Black Chair of the Fulton County Senate Delegation, the largest and most diverse in the upper house, and was Chairman of the Committee on Consumer Affairs and a member of the Committees on Human Resources, Governmental Operations, and Children and Youth.
During his service in the Georgia General Assembly, Bond was sponsor or co-sponsor of more than 60 bills which became law, including a pioneer sickle cell anemia testing program, authorization of a minority set-aside program for Fulton County, and a state-wide program providing low-interest home loans to low income Georgians. He waged a successful two-year fight in the legislature and the courts to create a majority black congressional district in Atlanta and organized the Georgia Legislative Black Caucus, then the nation's largest.
In 1968, Bond was Co-Chairman of the Georgia Loyal National Delegation to the Democratic Convention. The Loyalists, an insurgent group, were successful in unseating the hand-picked regulars, and Bond was nominated for Vice-President of the United States, the first Black to be so honored by a major political party. He withdrew his name because he was too young to serve.
He was Chairman of the Premier Automobile Group Diversity Committee (Volvo, Jaguar, Aston-Martin, Land Rover), and serves on the Boards of the American Civil Liberties Union, the Corporation for Maintaining Editorial Diversity in America, the Nicaragua/Honduras Education Project, the Earth Communications Office, the National Federation for Neighborhood Diversity, the Southern Africa Media Center, the Joan Shorenstein Barone Center of the John F. Kennedy School of Government, and the Center for Visionary Thought Advisory Team and on the Advisory Committees of the American Committee on Africa and the Human Rights Defense Fund. Bond has served four terms on the NAACP National Board, and in l998 was elected its Chairman. He is on the Board of the NAACP's Magazine, the Crisis. He was President of the Atlanta NAACP from 1978 until 1989 and served on the Executive Committee of the Association for the Study of Afro-American Life and History. He was President of the Institute for Southern Studies, Vice-Chairperson of the National Committee Against Repressive Legislation, and is President Emeritus of the Southern Poverty Law Center. He is currently a Distinguished Scholar in Residence at the American University in Washington, D.C., and a Professor at the University of Virginia in the Department of History.

Nov 11/Cleveland, OH - Consequences of Kampala: The United States and the International Criminal Court
Donald Ferencz, executive director of the Planethood Foundation, and Case Western Reserve University School of Law Professor Michael Scharf participated as NGO (non-governmental organization) delegates at the International Criminal Court Assembly of States Parties Review Conference in Kampala, Uganda in June 2010. At the Review Conference in Kampala, the 3,000 delegates agreed to a complicated formula to amend the International Court's Statute to add the crime of aggression to its jurisdiction. The formula had its origins in part in a 2008 Experts Meeting that Mr. Ferencz and Prof. Scharf co-sponsored at Case Western Reserve University School of Law, "The ICC and the Crime of Aggression."
At the November 11, 2010 program, Mr. Ferencz and Prof. Scharf will explain the negotiating history and meaning of the "Crime of Aggression" Amendment to the ICC's Statute, and describe its likely consequences for the United States and its allies.

Speaker Information:
Donald Ferencz
Executive Director and Co-founder
The Planethood Foundation
Donald M. Ferencz is an attorney and the Executive Director of The Planethood Foundation, a small private foundation "educating to replace the law of force with the force of law." He was born in 1952 in Nuremberg, Germany, where his father, Ben Ferencz, had served as the Chief Prosecutor in the Einsatzgruppen Trial as part of the Subsequent Proceedings at Nuremberg.
After studying at the Canadian Peace Research Institute and graduating Colgate University with a B.A. in Peace Studies, Don Ferencz pursued a Master's Degree in Education, thereafter teaching elementary school for five years before going on to obtain both J.D. and M.B.A. degrees at Pace University in New York. While in law school, he interned at both the Securities and Exchange Commission's Enforcement Division and the U.S. Attorney's Office, assisting in the prosecution of "white collar" criminals. But Mr. Ferencz saw the other side of the coin as well: incident to his work as a student editor on the Law Review, he played a critical role in obtaining dismissal by the New York Court of Appeals of a criminal conviction, which dismissal was premised on a legal theory he developed himself based on original research which had been previously overlooked by defense counsel in the case. Upon completing his legal studies, Mr. Ferencz pursued a commercial career for over two decades, working as a senior tax executive at a number of U.S.-based multinational public companies, and taught briefly as an adjunct professor of law at Pace Law School, where he later helped to initiate an international ICC Moot Court Competition. In 1996, he and his father established The Planethood Foundation, for which he now works on a full-time basis, helping to educate around the need for strengthening the rule of law in international relations. In addition, Don Ferencz participated directly as part of the NGO delegation to the ICC Assembly of States Parties Working Group on the Crime of Aggression (including attending the recent ICC review conference in Kampala, Uganda), and has written and lectured on the need to help deter aggression through the rule of law. He currently resides in the U.K.

Web - A Conversation with Chief Judge Randall Rader
In this edition of the IP Colloquium, the Honorable Randall R. Rader, Chief Judge of the Federal Circuit, joins us to discuss a wide range of legal and policy issues related to the nation's patent system.
The conversation is a frank and open discussion, with exchanges about (among other things) the need for Federal Circuit judges to experience district court proceedings in order to meaningfully evaluate them, and the possibility that independent creation is in fact evidence of patent obviousness. UCLA Law Professor Doug Lichtman hosts.
The show lasts one hour; it can be streamed or downloaded from the page linked below; and, if you are a lawyer, you might be able to earn free CLE credit just for listening. Visit the Intellectual Property Colloquium for more details.
