Oct 11/Cleveland, OH - War Time: An Idea, Its History, Its Consequences

Although the U.S. has been engaged in some form of ongoing overseas armed conflict for more than a century, policy makers and the public continue to view wars as exceptional events that eventually give way to normal peace times. But if war is thought to be exceptional, “wartime” remains a shorthand argument justifying extreme actions like torture and detention without trial. And as the public becomes more disconnected than ever from the wars their nation is fighting, the country is without political restraints on the exercise of war powers.

Anytime/Web - Future of FOSS: A Report from a Strategic Planning Session

On February 10, 2010 the Linux Foundation and the Open Source Initiative held a Strategic Planning Session for lawyers active in support of adoption of free and open source software. The purpose of the meeting was to identify key legal issues that will impact the development and adoption of free and open source software in 2010 and beyond.

Karen Copenhaver, partner at Choate Hall & Stewart and Counsel for the Linux Foundation and Mark Radcliffe, partner at DLA Piper and General Counsel for the Open Source Initiative (OSI), hosted the strategy session. Karen and Mark will report on the key topics that were discussed, who participated, and conclusions. In addition, we will focus on the status of developing a standard approach to delivery of information on the different components in software packages, the so called "Bill of Materials". The effort is being led by FOSSBazaar with Black Duck's support.
If you’re interested in the key legal issues affecting free and open source software, you won’t want to miss this Webinar.

Oct 6/Cleveland, OH - The Road to Justice

Our nation has made enormous progress toward racial justice since World War II. In this lecture, Fred D. Gray, one of the nation’s preeminent civil rights lawyers, will analyze legal developments in this field. Drawing on his own leading role in many landmark civil rights cases, Mr. Gray will explain the relationship between legal advocacy and political activism while examining the challenges that we continue to face in preserving and extending the gains that we have made. This lecture should be of particular interest to lawyers because of Mr. Gray’s unique perspective as an advocate for civil rights in several landmark Supreme Court cases and in many other lawsuits. Because Mr. Gray is currently in practice, he will also provide timely information useful to lawyers who handle civil rights, human rights, civil liberties, disability rights, labor and employment cases.

Speaker:
Fred D. Gray, Langford, Sapp, McGowan, Gray & Nathanson
Fred Gray is one of the nation’s preeminent civil rights lawyers. His clients have included Rosa Parks, Dr. Martin Luther King, and the victims of the infamous Tuskegee syphilis experiment. Among the Supreme Court cases in which he has played a prominent role are Browder v. Gayle, which invalidated the Montgomery bus segregation ordinance; NAACP v. Alabama, a significant freedom of association case; Gomillion v. Lightfoot, the Tuskegee gerrymandering case; and New York Times Co. v. Sullivan, the landmark defamation case. He also has represented freedom riders, sit-in demonstrators, participants in the Selma-Montgomery voting rights march, and plaintiffs in the cases that desegregated all public elementary, secondary schools, colleges, and universities in Alabama.


Mr. Gray was one of the first two African Americans elected to the Alabama legislature after Reconstruction, the first black president of the Alabama State Bar, and president of the National Bar Association. His many honors include the American Bar Association’s Thurgood Marshall Award and the Federal Bar Association’s Sarah T. Hughes Award. He is the author of two books, Bus Ride to Justice and The Tuskegee Syphilis Study. He decided to become a lawyer during his undergraduate years at Alabama State University so that he could destroy everything segregated he could find. Mr. Gray graduated from Case Western Reserve University School of Law in 1954 and remains actively engaged in the practice of law.

Free and open to the public. Reception follows.

1 hr. continuing legal education credit available, pending approval.
