Presented By:
Northwest Immigrant Rights Project (NWIRP)

Description:
Unaccompanied children's cases have become a priority for this administration, resulting in many expedited asylum merits Individual Calendar Hearings (ICHs) in Immigration Court. We also anticipate USCIS expediting unaccompanied children's asylum interviews. Youth are often left with very little notice or time to prepare. We anticipate that most of these ICHs will result in asylum denials and the issuance of removal orders, and most of our clients will want to appeal to the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA). We believe that many of these youth cases will have strong arguments on appeal.

Northwest Immigrants Rights Project is seeking pro bono attorneys to represent these unaccompanied children on their BIA appeals and to help draft client declarations. This training is meant to recruit pro bono attorneys and to train them on how to file an appeal with the BIA, common appealable issues specific to children and youth clients, and best practices for declaration drafting.

Location:
In person at King County Courthouse, 516 3rd Ave, Seattle, WA 98104, 4th Floor Solutions Room, with a remote option via Zoom.

Highlights

• Introduction: This session will lay out a chronological, fact-based account of Operation Metro Surge. The discussion is intended to remain focused on the facts and grounded in sourced research, minimizing political commentary. This panel is designed to give attendees the shared factual foundation needed to follow the rest of the day’s program.
  
• Sovereignty, Federalism & Tribal Nations: This panel explores what happens when federal enforcement power collides with state and tribal authority. Discussion will center on the structural limits federalism places on federal action, the distinct sovereignty interest of tribal nations, and what mechanisms exist and whether they are adequate when federal, state, and tribal legal obligations come into conflict.
• Keynote Address:  Dean Erwin Chemerinsky, Dean and Jesse H. Choper Distinguished Professor of Law, University of California, Berkeley School of Law.
• Immigration, Enforcement & the Rule of Law: This panel will examine the constitutional boundaries of federal immigration enforcement, using Operation Metro Surge as a lens. Discussion will center on the scope and limits of federal immigration authority, the due process protections that apply during large-scale enforcement operations, and the role of courts and legal institutions in responding when enforcement raises serious constitutional questions.
• Law Enforcement, Prosecutorial Discretion, & Legal Accountability: This panel looks at how lawyers and public officials respond to the legal and practical challenges that arise during large-scale enforcement operations. Panelists will discuss the choices facing law enforcement and prosecutors, including questions of professional independence, institutional pressure, and constitutional and ethical responsibility. The discussion will also explore how lawyers representing affected individuals and communities use habeas, constitutional litigation, and other forms of advocacy to challenge government action and protect individual rights. The panel will consider the experiences of those documenting or responding to enforcement activity, the broader effects of enforcement operations on affected communities, and what the rule of law requires of lawyers working in very different roles.

January 29: Terminating a Construction Project Before Completion: Do’s, Don’ts, Claims & Litigation Webinar

Construction is expensive, and the spectrum of professional practice varies wildly. While some professionals uphold the industry’s gold standards, others can be disappointing at best and criminally negligent at worst. In some cases, a judgement call must be made to terminate a project prior to completion. Unfortunately, this process is usually expensive and complicated.

It is possible to ease the stress of ending a project by using a standard structure that considers the contract documents, construction industry standards, and the “iron triangle” (scope, budget, and schedule with quality at the core) of project management. This structure does not magically make termination quick and cheap, but it does make the process as efficient and painless as possible. No matter what stage of a construction project-gone-bad you are in, remember you are not trapped. You can always negotiate from a position of strength.

"Terminating a Construction Project Before Completion" is for everyone involved in the business of building or buildings, including property owners & managers, governmental organizations, developers, contractors, insurers, lawyers, and anyone else caught up in the headaches of a project that has gone wrong or has already been terminated. The course will explain the roles and responsibilities of the different parties who contribute to a construction project, teach our Construction Claim Analysis framework, and review case studies that demonstrate successful project termination from the perspective of both owners and subcontractors.

Program Outline:

• Introduction.
• Contracting 101.
• Construction Claim Analysis Framework.
• Read the Full Contract.
• Calculating Damages.
• Salvaging a Project.
• Conclusion.

Learning Objectives:

• Review the basic roles & responsibilities in construction.
• Learn a framework for analyzing a construction claim.
• Discuss how damages are calculated after a contract is terminated.
• Strategize how one might salvage a construction project rather than terminate.
• Review case studies and real world examples of projects that were terminated before completion.

November 24: AI & Corporate IP: Protecting Trade Secrets, Patents, Copyrights and Brands

Title:
AI & Corporate IP: Protecting Trade Secrets, Patents, Copyrights and Brands

Description:
Employees are already pasting source code, product plans, and customer data into AI tools. They’re also using those same tools to write code, draft content, and help develop new inventions. Each of those everyday uses raises a question about the IP the company already owns or is trying to create, from losing trade secret protection to inventions and works that may not qualify for patent or copyright protection at all.

Join us on Tuesday, November 24, 2026, at 12pm ET / 9am PT as David Stevens, Intellectual Property Counsel and Business Advisor, IP Strategy Specialist at Stevens Law Group, walks through how legal departments can let employees use AI without compromising corporate IP. The session covers confidentiality, inventorship, authorship and brand risk, plus the practical controls that keep each of them in check.

Attendees will learn how to:

• Protect trade secrets and confidential information: what employees are putting into AI systems, and how public vs. enterprise AI environments change your confidentiality exposure.
• Preserve patent rights on AI-assisted inventions: how the human inventorship requirement applies, and how to document human conception and AI involvement.
• Navigate copyright and human authorship: what protection AI-assisted works can (and can’t) get.
• Manage AI-generated code and third-party content: spot licensing, infringement, and ownership risks before they reach your products.
• Address trademark and branding issues: protect brand assets as marketing teams generate names, logos, and content with AI.
• Build practical safeguards: policies, training, and workflows legal departments can put in place now.

Who Should Attend: This program is designed for general counsel, in-house counsel, IP counsel, and legal operations professionals at companies where employees use AI in product development, engineering, marketing, or day-to-day work. It will be especially useful for those responsible for AI use policies, IP protection, invention disclosure, open-source and software compliance, or brand management.

November 17: Corporate Dealmaking in Today’s Regulatory Environment: What In-House Counsel Need to Know

Title:
Corporate Dealmaking in Today’s Regulatory Environment: What In-House Counsel Need to Know

Description:
Corporate transactions are being negotiated in a regulatory environment that can affect nearly every stage of the deal lifecycle. Antitrust scrutiny, SEC priorities, labor considerations, tariffs, state attorney general activity, and broader federal policy shifts can all influence diligence, timing, deal terms, closing certainty, and negotiating leverage. For in-house counsel, the challenge is not just staying current on regulatory developments — it is translating those developments into practical guidance for the business.

Join us on Tuesday, November 17, 2026 at 12pm ET/ 9am PT, as Amanda Wait, Managing Partner, D.C. Office at Michael Best, and Aris Haigian, Partner at Michael Best, for a practical discussion designed for in-house counsel advising on M&A, strategic transactions, investments, joint ventures, and other corporate deals. The panel will explore how today’s enforcement and policy priorities are shaping corporate deal strategy, including what legal teams should be watching before negotiations begin, how to build regulatory risk into deal timelines and terms, and how to advise business stakeholders when uncertainty becomes part of the transaction.

Attendees will learn how to:

• Identify regulatory issues that may affect corporate deal strategy, timing, and execution risk.
• Understand current antitrust enforcement themes, including theories of harm and areas of regulator interest.
• Account for process and procedural changes that may quietly affect deal timelines and closing certainty.
• Evaluate the growing role of state attorneys general in corporate transactions.
• Consider how SEC priorities, labor developments, tariffs, and related policy shifts may influence diligence, covenants, pricing, and risk allocation.
• Communicate regulatory risk to business teams in a way that supports practical, informed decision-making.

Who Should Attend: This session is designed for in-house counsel who advise on corporate transactions, including M&A, strategic investments, joint ventures, securities matters, commercial deals, antitrust, labor and employment, regulatory, compliance, and government affairs issues. It will be especially useful for legal teams responsible for helping business leaders assess transaction risk, negotiate deal terms, and move corporate deals forward in a shifting regulatory environment.

November 17: The In-House AI Bootcamp: From First Prompt to Contract Review at Scale

Title:
The In-House AI Bootcamp: From First Prompt to Contract Review at Scale

Description:
Most in-house teams are past asking whether to use AI, but many still rely on one-off prompts and individual trial and error. Without shared standards, results vary from lawyer to lawyer, and AI never moves from drafting help to the contract review work the department is measured on.

Join us on Tuesday, November 17, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. ET / 12:00 p.m. PT as Katie Harris, Lead Solutions Attorney and Commercial Counsel at LegalOn, and Corey Longhurst, Chief Growth Officer at LegalOn. They’ll walk through how to build responsible, repeatable AI practices into your team’s day-to-day work, then put each step to work live, from the first prompt to reviewing contracts at scale.

Come ready to build alongside your in-house peers in real time.

Attendees will learn how to:

• Apply the ethical and risk considerations that matter most when using AI for legal work, including confidentiality, accuracy, and supervision.
• Write prompts that hold up, using a repeatable framework instead of trial and error.
• Build a shared prompt library your whole team can use and maintain.
• Turn legal judgment into contract playbooks that keep AI review consistent.
• Extract and compare key terms, from renewal dates to termination clauses, across dozens of contracts at once.

Who Should Attend:
This program is designed for in-house counsel, legal operations professionals, and contract managers at any stage of their AI journey. It will be especially useful for those responsible for contract review and negotiation, playbooks and templates, team training and adoption, or setting AI standards within the legal department.

November 16: Reviewing AI-Generated Marketing Content at Scale: A Risk-Aware Framework for In-House Counsel

Title:
Reviewing AI-Generated Marketing Content at Scale: A Risk-Aware Framework for In-House Counsel

Description:
Marketing teams now produce more copy, images, videos, and regional variants than legal can review, and generative AI has only widened that gap. In-house counsel is still accountable for every claim and disclosure that goes live, even as regulators adjust their expectations for AI-assisted content.

Join us on Monday, November 16, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. ET / 9:00 a.m. PT as Kunal Vankadara, CEO and Co-founder at Haast, and Wessel Van Keulen, Founding General Manager, Europe at Haast, walk through a practical approach to deciding which content gets which level of review, where AI-assisted review fits, and where a lawyer’s judgment needs to stay in the loop.

Attendees will work through real-world examples and leave with a framework they can adopt for their own organization.

Attendees will learn how to:

• Identify the factors that make AI-generated marketing content higher or lower risk.
• Build a tiered review model that matches legal attention to risk.
• Decide which review tasks can be assisted by AI and which require attorney judgment.
• Document review decisions and policy precedents so the process is consistent and defensible when regulators inquire.

Who Should Attend: This program is designed for in-house counsel, marketing and advertising counsel, compliance leaders, and legal operations professionals who support marketing teams. It will be especially useful for those responsible for advertising claims review, consumer protection compliance, regulated disclosures, brand approvals, or AI governance.

November 11: Patents for People Who Don’t Have Time for Them: Six Hidden Wins for In-House Counsel

Title:
Patents for People Who Don’t Have Time for Them: Six Hidden Wins for In-House Counsel

Description:
Patents often feel like too big a project to tackle, so they get pushed to next quarter. Meanwhile, the risk and value they carry keep building quietly across R&D, product, sales, and deal teams. A bit of targeted strategy in the right places can cut real exposure and create real value, without you having to become a patent lawyer.

Join us on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. ET / 9:00 a.m. PT as Doug Meier, Managing Partner and Intellectual Property Attorney at NK Patent Law, walks through six places where in-house teams can get an outsized return from a small patent investment. He’ll also share a real-world framework for getting your patents under control.

Attendees will learn how to:

• Find hidden inventions in your R&D teams: surface innovation you can protect before it slips through the cracks.
• Manage hidden risk in your product roadmap: spot infringement exposure early, while it’s still cheap to address.
• Spot hidden tripwires in your launch plans: flag the patent issues that can derail a go-to-market date.
• Limit hidden costs in your sales contracts: tighten IP indemnities and warranties that quietly expand exposure.
• Extract hidden value from your patent portfolio: identify assets worth licensing, pruning, or leveraging.
• Avoid hidden discounts in your next deal: prepare your IP so it holds up in diligence and supports valuation.

Who Should Attend: This program is designed for general counsel, in-house counsel, and legal operations professionals at companies that build products or technology but don’t have a dedicated patent function. It will be especially useful for those advising R&D and product teams, negotiating commercial contracts, managing IP budgets, or preparing for financing, M&A, or other strategic transactions.
