September 27: Cleveland - U.S.-China Investment: Reimagining the Relationship #MCLE

Kevin G. Nealer
This lecture will briefly review the US/China bilateral relationship and consider some of the challenges ahead for investors and those who advise them. China is migrating from an export-led growth model that has been reliant on record FDI to one that favors domestic-led growth, strengthened local capital markets, and a preference for indigenous innovation. The discussion will address this policy debate over the role of foreign investment, reform of the state sector, potentially sweeping tax law changes and what they may mean for American companies doing business there. Additionally, there will be a brief consideration of China’s role as a capital exporter and its implications for US law and policy.
Ohio attorneys will learn about the changing investment environment for US companies looking to do business in China, specific sectors where the Chinese government is seeking additional foreign investment and knowhow, and the tax law implications of these shifts. They will also learn about how to advise US companies looking to attract Chinese investment, and how to mitigate the US government's concerns about Chinese investment in the US. Armed with this knowledge, Ohio attorneys can help ensure that Chinese investment into Ohio industries flows smoothly and legally, and with minimal resistance from the US government, which has stopped several Chinese companies from investing in the US in the past couple of years.

September 24: Cleveland - A Conversation with Chief Prosecutor United States #Military Commissions #MCLE

The Case Western Reserve University School of Law hosts Brigadier General Mark Martins, Chief Prosecutor for the United States in cases alleging violations of the law of war and lead trial counsel in the prosecution of Khalid Sheikh Mohammad and four other accused perpetrators of the attacks of September 11, 2001. 
Martins will outline major provisions of the Military Commissions Act of 2009--which reformed a system much criticized when established in 2001 by presidential order--and will address the due process protections, constitutional authority, established sources of law, narrowness of jurisdiction, oversight by United States federal civilian courts, compliance with international legal obligations, public trial requirements, and transparency measures that characterize the reformed military commissions. Martins will also address continuing challenges to the reformed system's legitimacy, suggest what will be necessary to surmount perceptions of "victor's justice," and offer thoughts on the future of efforts to hold al Qaeda and associated forces accountable under law. 
Much of the time will be reserved for questions; while trial counsel are precluded from discussing specifics of ongoing prosecutions, queries of the speaker on broader questions are encouraged The Chatham House Rule will be in effect to stimulate open discussion and the sharing of information. Participants will thus be free to use the information received, but should reveal neither the identity nor the affiliation of the speaker, nor that of any other participant.
This presentation and discussion will be of great interest to Ohio attorneys, especially prosecutors and defense counsel. The issues before the Military Commissions are relevant to their practice, especially in cases involving terrorism and organized crime.

Speaker:
In September of 2011, Brigadier General Martins became Chief Prosecutor of Military Commissions. Over the previous year, in Afghanistan, Martins was commander of the Rule of Law Field Force-Afghanistan and of the dual-hat NATO Rule of Law Field Support Mission. The prior year, also in Afghanistan, he had served as the first and Interim Commander of Joint Task Force 435 and then as its first Deputy Commander upon Senate Confirmation of Vice Admiral Robert Harward. In these roles, Brigadier General Martins led the effort to reform United States detention operations in Afghanistan and provided field support to Afghan and international civilian rule of law project teams in contested provinces of the country. Immediately prior to his deployment to Afghanistan, Brigadier General Martins co-led the interagency Detention Policy Task Force created by President Obama in January 2009.
Commissioned in the infantry after graduating first in order of merit from the United States Military Academy in 1983, Brigadier General Martins served as a platoon leader and staff officer in the 82d Airborne Division. He then became a judge advocate and has since served in a variety of legal and non-legal positions. These have included criminal trial counsel, operational lawyer, staff judge advocate, chief of staff, and commander. He has been deployed to zones of armed conflict for more than five years, including service as Chief of Staff of the U.S. Kosovo Force, Staff Judge Advocate for First Armored Division and then Multi-National Force—Iraq, and his recent duties with Rule of Law Field Support Teams across eight provinces and twenty-three key districts in Afghanistan.

September 18: Cleveland - Who Needs The Stock Market? Part 1: The Empirical Evidence

Data on historical and current corporate finance trends drawn from a variety of sources present a paradox. External equity has never played a significant role in financing industrial enterprises in the United States. The only American industry that has relied heavily upon external financing is the finance industry itself. Yet it is commonly accepted among legal scholars and economists that the stock market plays a valuable role in American economic life, and a recent, large body of macroeconomic work on economic development links the growth of financial institutions (including, in the U.S, the stock market) to growth in real economic output. How can this be the case if external equity as represented by the stock market plays an insignificant role in financing productivity? This paradox has been largely ignored in the legal and economic literature.
This paper surveys the history of American corporate finance, presents original and secondary data demonstrating the paradox, and raises questions regarding the structure of American capital markets, the appropriate rights of stockholders, the desirable regulatory structure (whether the stock market should be regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission or the Commodities Futures Trading Commission, for example), and the overall relationship between finance and growth.
The answers to these questions are particularly pressing in light of a dramatic increase in stock market volatility since the turn of the century creating distorted incentives for long-term corporate management, especially trenchant in light of the recent global financial collapse.

September 29: Cleveland + Webcast - Taxpayer Abuse and International Law: Implications of the Yukos Saga

Paul B. Stephan
In the world of complex corporate transactions, taxpayers both abuse and are abused. Yukos, once the largest oil producer in Russia, engaged in aggressive tax planning to avoid income taxation. Its techniques closely matched those of its Russian competitors, and in general terms resembled the moves used by companies such as Starbucks and Microsoft to minimize their global tax burden. The Russian government responded ferociously, using tax claims to throw Yukos into bankruptcy and to seize most of its assets. Yukos in turn responded with an array of international law claims and domestic lawsuits in various arbitral tribunals, international courts, and domestic courts of the United States, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands. Paul Stephan will use the case of one Russian company to illustrate how some foreign governments are abusing the system of international taxation to the detriment of businesses.
This forum will be of interest to Ohio attorneys who practice in the field of corporate tax law, work in tax or finance for multi-national corporations, and those that practice in in foreign and international courts.

Speaker:
An expert on international business and Soviet and post-Soviet legal systems, Paul Stephan has advised governments and international organizations, organized conferences, edited books and lectured to professionals, university groups and high school students on a variety of issues raised by the globalization of the world economy and the transition away from Soviet-style socialism. During 2006-07, he served as counselor on international law in the U.S. Department of State. Other interests for Stephan, who joined the Law School faculty in 1979, include international law, taxation and constitutional law.
Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, Stephan has worked on a variety of projects involving law reform in former socialist states. He has worked in Russia, Georgia, Ukraine, Albania and Slovakia on behalf of the U.S. Treasury and in Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan on behalf of the International Monetary Fund. He also has organized training programs for tax administrators and judges from all of the formerly socialist countries under the auspices of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. His casebook on international business is used at law schools both in the United States and abroad. He has written extensively on international law, corruption and the history of the Cold War. Most recently, he is the co-author, with Robert Scott, of The Limits of Leviathan: Contract Theory and the Enforcement of International Law
(Cambridge University Press, 2006).
His current research interests include books on the political economy of international lawmaking and on the collapse of communism.

Al Qaida Sanctions Committee
Judge Kimberly Prost, United Nations Security Council Ombudsperson for the Al Qaida Sanctions Committee will present a lecture, titled “A Reflection on Innovations in the Security Council: The International Tribunals, Counter Terrorism and the Office of the Ombudsperson.” The lecture should be of great value to lawyers interested in the mechanisms and legal authorities employed by the Security Council in interdicting and punishing international crimes and terrorism. In particular Judge Prost will draw from her own experiences as an ad litem judge of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia in describing the importance of courts in meting out justice for international criminal acts. She will also describe the unique role played by her office in addressing requests to be removed from the United Nations Security Council’s Al-Qaida Sanctions List. Practicing attorneys will gain insights in the role of international law in prosecuting crimes and terrorism as well as the procedural protections afforded defendants and suspects.

September 6: Cleveland + Webcast - End Game! An International Conference on Piracy #MCLE

For the moment pirate attacks are down, but piracy continues to present a major threat to world shipping. Even with greatly expanded patrolling by international navies and increased use of private security forces, there have been 48 pirate attacks, 448 seamen were held hostage by pirates, and global economic losses due to piracy topped 5 billion dollars in the last twelve months. Meanwhile, renewed political turmoil in Somalia and Yemen is sowing the seeds for a fresh generation of pirates with increasingly deadly tactics. This conference brings together two-dozen of the world’s foremost counter-piracy experts to analyze the novel legal challenges and options related to this new phase in the fight against piracy.

September 9: NYC - Cultural Competency

Legal clients from diverse cultures often have expectations that are directly tied to their backgrounds and cultural norms. These expectations may clash with our own backgrounds, the legal system, and our methods of handling legal issues.  As a result, clients may become frustrated and distrustful of the legal system, hindering the successful resolution of the legal issues. Overcoming these cultural barriers is key to effective communication and legal advocacy.
This training will focus on developing cross-cultural lawyering skills which will help attorneys effectively communicate and interact with clients from different cultures and backgrounds.  We will discuss approaches and best practices for working effectively with diverse clients.  At the end of the training, participants will have an increased understanding of how cultural differences may impact the attorney/client relationship and communication. Participants will learn how to overcome the challenges presented by culturally diverse clients to achieve optimal lawyering and representation.
InMotion offers free, CLE-accredited, live trainings throughout the year in matrimonial, family and immigration law. Training sessions include a special focus on the impact of domestic violence on the lives of survivors and the challenges faced by immigrants.
Upon completing a training seminar, major law firm attorneys commit to taking a pro bono matter, either individually or as part of a team of two or more attorneys. Detailed practice manuals and sample documents are provided.
An inMotion attorney will be assigned to mentor you on your matter. Our experienced staff attorneys are available to consult with you, to answer questions and to review documents throughout your inMotion matter. Training videos are available for individuals who are unable to attend one of our scheduled training sessions. CLE credit is available for viewing our training videos.

September 26: San Francisco + Webcast - Bankruptcy Basics for Low-Income Clients 2013 #probono #MCLE

Although the recession is beginning to even out and foreclosures in many parts of the country are in the decline, the recession continues to affect financially marginalized people in disproportionate numbers. Many debtors are unrepresented and bankruptcy clinics are still in great demand. There is a critical need for pro bono attorneys to assist low-income clients at all levels. The practice of bankruptcy law changed dramatically with the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005 (BAPCPA). The implications of BAPCPA continue to develop in the Courts, all the way up to the Supreme Court. In the meantime the practice is ever changing and can be quite complicated with even the simplest form of bankruptcy, Chapter 7. This program was developed for brand new practitioners and those who are either not familiar with the practice or have not practiced bankruptcy law since the passage of BAPCPA. The program will focus on Chapter 7 bankruptcy, from the day a new client walks into your office to the day you receive notice that they have successfully received a discharge and their case is closed.
Topics:
  • An overview of Chapter 7 bankruptcy including legal sources, jurisdiction, venue, eligibility and the parties
  • Your duties as a bankruptcy attorney and debt relief agency, how to evaluate and interview a client, how to choose between a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13, and your responsibilities of investigation (due diligence)
  • How the discharge works and the effectiveness of the automatic stay
  • How to protect the debtor’s property through exemptions
  • An in depth overview of the means test
  • How to prepare the schedules in a Chapter 7 and prepare your client for the meeting of creditors
This program was designed for the practitioner, paralegal and legal assistant who is new to bankruptcy or new to BAPCPA. It is a basic “How to File a Chapter 7” program. If you want to volunteer in pro bono clinics, develop bankruptcy as one of your practice areas or are a new attorney who wants to develop a bankruptcy practice, this program will give you the tools you need to get started.

September 18: Webcast - Look North For Growth Capital - A Primer on Canadian Financing Options For Growing U.S. Companies

For U.S. companies in need of growth capital, the Canadian equity and debt markets provide increasingly attractive options. Ranked as soundest across the globe by the World Economic Forum, Canada's financial services sector is exceptionally well-capitalized, well-regulated and well-managed - and it's definitely open for cross-border business. Last year alone, international companies raised $6.6 billion on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) and its junior market, the TSX Venture Exchange (TSX-V)
Why is Canada such a good fit for U.S. companies? In part, it's because the Canadian capital markets are designed to readily accommodate foreign-based issuers, who often use the TSX as a "stepping stone" to listing on the NASDAQ or the NYSE. The Canadian capital markets are also structured to foster the growth of small and mid-cap businesses, supported by a number of investment banks that specialize in financing growing businesses with revenues of less than $200 million. In addition, the Canadian regulatory compliance framework is significantly less expensive than in the U.S. and ensures a high level of market integrity consistent with the practical realties of mid-sized enterprises. Join our experienced panel of professionals as they discuss the benefits, process and key considerations of looking north to Canada for growth capital.

September 19: Webcast - Public Health Impact of Statewide Anti-Bullying Legislation: A look at Oregon and Iowa

Bullying can have profound and damaging effects on victims -- the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention identifies bullying as a major public health concern. Since 1999, 49 states and the District of Columbia have passed some form of anti-bullying legislation to reduce bullying behaviors among youth. This webinar examines the anti-bullying laws in two states: Oregon and Iowa. These states’ laws are the focus of two Public Health Law Research studies investigating the extent to which school districts have adopted anti-bullying policies in response to these laws, and the impact these policies may have on reducing bullying in schools. This webinar will focus on policy development and adoption and implementation of the laws, and will include lessons learned from the field as well as recent research results.
