Title:
Legal Lunchbox™ Series: Yoga to Stay Calm, Focused & Ethical
WSBA Legal Lunchbox Series
Description:

Join us for an enlightening CLE that integrates the ancient wisdom of yoga with the modern principles of legal ethics.
First, we’ll briefly discuss yoga: what it is, what it is not, and the sheer breadth of what yoga encompasses. Second, we discuss yogic concepts to help you stay calm and focused, including how a meditation practice creates more time in your day, how breathing helps you stay present and best able to say no when needed, and how not to let other people’s angst become your angst.
Lastly, we spend approximately one hour on yoga ethics, discovering that seven out of eight limbs of yoga don’t focus on postures, but instead on morality, ethics, conscious breathing, concentration, focus, and meditation. We delve into a comprehensive discussion of how yoga’s ethics and morality systems provide a fresh understanding of the MRPC through the lenses of yamas (universal morality) and niyamas (personal behavior), such as how these tenets help us remain diligent (MRPC 1.3) and guide us in representing our services (MRPC 7.1, 7.2).

Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) and other emerging technologies, while holding the promise of helping lawyers serve their clients efficiently and effectively, can also raise many complex ethical issues.

April 1: Coordination, Not Competition: Achieving Value-Based Care Through Shared Governance with Jessica Mantel

Jessica Mantel

Title:
Coordination, Not Competition: Achieving Value-Based Care Through Shared Governance with Jessica Mantel
Description:
Value-based payment (VBP) aims to transform healthcare by incentivizing providers to improve patient outcomes and reduce costs through better care coordination, preventive strategies, and increased efficiency. Yet VBPs have struggled to deliver on their promise. 

Attorney Jessica Lind Mantel will discuss a key reason for this limited progress – a regulatory framework that relies on market forces and grants payers significant autonomy in designing and implementing VBP models. This decentralized, bottoms-up approach leads to misaligned payment policies that create barriers for providers seeking to redesign how they care for patients. 

Mantel advocates for an alternative approach: value-based governance. This model emphasizes collaboration among government agencies, payers, providers, patient advocates, and other stakeholders, replacing fragmented, market decision-making with coordinated public-private efforts that foster payment alignment. Value-based governance can address other systemic challenges to health reform by advancing technical assistance programs that support providers transitioning to value-based care, improving health data-sharing infrastructures, and promoting a workforce equipped to deliver value-based care. Through shared responsibility for policy outcomes and horizontal coordination across the public and private sectors, value-based governance offers a pathway to successfully transforming the healthcare delivery system.

April 30: 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.

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) explore current data breach laws, 

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

May 7: National Security Review of Foreign Investment Transactions

Description:
While bipartisan legislative successes have been few and far between in our highly-charged political environment, a general consensus on the need to provide a stronger framework for reviewing foreign investment in US companies led to the passage of the Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act (‘FIRRMA’) in the summer of 2018. The issuance of a final rule in January 2020 implementing FIRRMA subsequently crystallized the process for CFIUS review of inbound transactions. This seminar will review the landscape leading to FIRRMA, the highpoints of the new regulatory process, and provide an update on recent developments as changing national security concerns continue to provide calls for additional regulatory changes. It will also offer significant instruction on techniques for researching various aspects of this topic—from legislation to regulation and even how to analyze market examples of CFIUS approval clauses in M&A agreements.
