October 28: An Anomalous Status: Rights and Wrongs in America’s Territories

More than 100 years ago, the Supreme Court issued a series of decisions collectively known as the Insular Cases that held that the “half-civilized,” “savage,” “ignorant and lawless” “alien races” that inhabited Puerto Rico, Guam, and other American territories were not entitled to the same constitutional rights and protections afforded to other Americans and were not on the path to full political participation.
Though the flawed reasoning of Insular Cases has long since been discredited, federal courts have continued to rely on those cases to issue decisions that result in disparate treatment of Americans residing in territories. And despite its significant presence throughout American constitutional law, essentially none of the law governing U.S. territories is taught in law school. 
This symposium aims to critically examine American territory law and leave attendees with a greater understanding of and appreciation for America’s territories and the legal framework in which they operate.

July 28: 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.

July 26: Just How Frivolous Is That 'Frivolous' Malpractice Suit?

For most lawyers, facing an even mildly dissatisfied client can be gut-wrenching. Taking on a former client in court? That’s a full-blown nightmare. It’s a nightmare you’re likely to encounter, though, as the majority of lawyers face a claim from a former client at some point in their career.
The expert panel will explore what steps lawyers should consider when a former client complains. You’ll learn:
  • How even ‘frivolous’ claims can be more meritorious than they first appear
  • Different types of clients and ways to deescalate with each
  • Proactive steps to be prepared before it happens to you
  • What to do when faced with a malpractice suit.

September 21: Understanding & Evaluating Remediation and Repair Estimates

Understanding & Evaluating Remediation & Repair Estimates is intended to help claims professionals learn to understand, summarize, and analyze estimates from contractors and consultants. It’s not very easy but it is a very valuable skill that can save lots of money. Remediation and repair projects are VERY expensive and yet so few people have the skill to analyze the fairness and value of the costs.
Cost estimating is a profession with specialized skills, training, education, and certifications; but it’s not rocket science. There is some math, so it’s scary to a lot of people. There are many moving parts in a big estimate: designers, insurance, labor, materials, equipment, subcontractors… The list can go on and on.
So how does a normal person without years of experience understand and evaluate an estimate? We are going to show you. Remember: Construction is not terribly difficult to understand. It's really just sticks and stones and pieces of glass and steel stacked neatly. What makes it hard is the complexity; the sheer number of components requires an organizational system. We have one and we present it in this 1-hour program.

    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.

    September 20/Cleveland: The Chevron Doctrine


    Since the Supreme Court’s 1984 decision in Chevron v. Natural Resources Defense Council, this judicial review has been highly deferential: courts must uphold agency interpretations of unclear laws as long as these interpretations are “reasonable.” But the Chevron doctrine faces backlash from constitutional scholars and, now, from Supreme Court justices who insist that courts, not administrative agencies, have the authority to say what the law is. Critics of the administrative state also charge that Chevron deference enables unaccountable bureaucratic power.
    In The Chevron Doctrine: It's Rise and Fall and the Future of the Administrative State, Columbia University law professor Thomas Merrill reviews the history and immense consequences of the Chevron doctrine and suggests a way forward. Recognizing that Congress cannot help relying on agencies to carry out laws, Merrill rejects the notion of discarding the administrative state. Instead, he focuses on what should be the proper relationship between agencies and courts in interpreting laws, given the strengths and weaknesses of these institutions. Courts are better at enforcing the rule of law and constitutional values; agencies have more policy expertise and receive more public input. And, unlike courts, agencies are subject to at least some political discipline. The best solution, Merrill suggests, is not of the either–or variety. Neither executive agencies nor courts alone should pick up the slack of our increasingly ineffectual legislature.

    July 19: Privacy By Design: Considerations for Products, Transactions, and Vendor Management

    Privacy by design—the notion that organizations should consider data privacy at each stage of product development and across business practices—has been advocated by the Federal Trade Commission and other privacy regulators for quite some time. But what does this concept mean in practice for attorneys who represent companies that rely on rapid innovation and the constant collection, use, and sharing of personal data? And how does it fit into a business environment where companies are dependent on a multitude of third-party service providers, suppliers, and other contractors to carry out their day-to-day operations?
    This extended, 90-minute panel, intended for Chief Legal Officers, Outside Counsel, and other professionals who manage corporate privacy and cybersecurity risk, will provide a practical view into the application of privacy by design principles by attorneys, privacy engineers, and compliance professionals. Panelists will provide guidance on incorporating privacy by design principles into product development initiatives, transactional risk assessments, and vendor management programs.
    Learning objectives include:
    • Gain practitioner insights on applying privacy by design principles early on in a manner that allows for scaling and modification of organizational privacy programs against a backdrop of evolving laws and regulations
    • Study practitioner techniques for identifying and managing privacy and cybersecurity risks in commercial contracts through pre-transaction risk assessments
    • Obtain insights on the negotiation of enterprise cloud arrangements from the perspective of a service provider
    • Learn about key components of vendor management programs to help ensure the consistent application of privacy and data security controls across outsourced services
    Who would benefit most from attending this program?
    • In-house and law firm counsel who advise on digital product development or negotiate commercial transactions that carry privacy and cybersecurity risks
    • Privacy and information technology professionals who advise on organizational data management and information security protocol
    • Compliance professionals who draft and administer organizational privacy and data security policies and procedures.

    August 17: Litigation Ethics: Rules, Real Stories, and Regrets

    The trial experience is much more comprehensive than those “Perry Mason” moments you see on TV. True signs of professionalism include properly preparing your client including the advisability of pursuing claims, communicating all events honestly, and observing all the rules of law and ethics. This course is based upon true stories of lessons learned by lawyers in the course of litigation that are cautionary, practical, and sometimes entertaining. These lessons include:
    • Addressing conflicts which suddenly arise
    • Clients whose expectations exceed reason
    • Relationships with opposing counsel
    • Conduct during settlement discussions
    • The dangers of interacting with pro se parties
    • Clients who lie
    • Lack of candor with a judge which morphs into misrepresentation
    • Spoliation of documents – intentional and accidental; and
    • Improper disclosures of confidential information.
    There are interesting analyses, practical answers, and as always, great ethical guidance in this course.

    What conditions must be satisfied before a policyholder can enter into a consent judgment?
    What standards do courts use to determine whether to enforce a consent judgment against liability insurers? Conversely, what tools does an insurer have to challenge the enforcement of a consent judgment?

    September 13: “You have the right to remain silent…”

    This session will explain why the Miranda warning is so easily misunderstood (or not understood at all); the result is the abrogation of rights that the warning was designed to protect. Numerous factors contribute to the poor comprehension (and low readability scores):
    • the situation and contexts in which the warning is used;
    • the special linguistic abilities required for understanding it;
    • the grammar, vocabulary, event sequencing, and other features of the text.
    The listener must comprehend all of this in less than a minute, which is the time it takes to deliver the warning, and sometimes obstacles are concurrent, thus multiplying the burden of comprehension. The speakers will conclude with a suggested workaround, which is markedly different from the standard version but accomplishes the intended aims.

    July 20: Construction Site Accident Claims 101

    It is no secret that a construction site is not a playground. Few places are more potentially dangerous; the list of safety regulations goes on and on to safeguard the wellbeing of construction professionals. Still, humans are flawed and prone to error, with three construction site fatalities and hundreds of injuries each day here in the US.
    When these accidents happen, the companies involved are obligated to step in and investigate the details, rendering a thoughtful opinion about the facts surrounding the accident. No two claims are the same. Our analytical method walks through a professional investigation and analysis regardless of the specifics of the claim, like how the scientific method aids in discovery of the workings of our natural world.
    Anyone who works with construction of any kind has an interest in being prepared for construction site accident claims and knowing how to handle them effectively. Insurance professionals need to know how to investigate a claim fairly and thoroughly with the full context of construction site safety standards. Legal professionals need the specific knowledge necessary to best represent their clients. Construction professionals should be aware of the process involved in an investigation.
