SUMMARY:Memphis Mid-South Chapter: FBA Annual Seminar
DESCRIPTION:The Memphis Mid-South Chapter of the Federal Bar Association invites you to join us (virtually) on Friday\, October 22\, 8:45 AM – 4:15 PM for our Annual Seminar. The seminar will feature presentations on the current and upcoming Supreme Court term\, historic Supreme Court cases\, electronic evidence and eDiscovery\, and a WDTN judges panel. \n\n8:45 AM – 9:00 AM: Welcome and Announcements on CLE Credit\n\n9:00 AM – 10:15 AM: Supreme Court Update \n\nJason Steed\, Kilpatrick Townsend\n\nWith a new Justice on the bench\, the nation’s highest court tackled everything from whether a\nstate can forbid voters from relying on another person to collect and drop off ballots (it can) to\nwhether a school can kick a student off cheer squad because she dropped an f-bomb on\nsocial media (it can’t). Jason Steed breaks it all down in this lively session and previews the\nbig issues the U.S. Supreme Court will tackle in the October 2021 term. \n10:30 AM – 11:45 AM: Citizens to Preserve Overton Park at 50 and the Byhalia Pipeline \n\nCharlie Newman\, Scott Crosby\n Sarah Stuart – Burch\, Porter\, and Johnson\nJosh Whitehead – Zoning Administrator\, Memphis and Shelby County Division of Planning and Development\, Adjunct Professor\, U of M School of Law\n\nIn 1971\, the U.S. Supreme Court sided with Citizens to Preserve Overton Park and helped\nprevent an interstate highway from being constructed through the middle of the midtown\nMemphis gem. Fifty years later\, the Mid-South was embroiled in a similar battle\, with citizens\nworking to prevent the Byhalia Pipeline from being constructed and bisecting nearly all-Black\ncommunities in southwest Memphis. This panel will discuss what happens when land\ndevelopment collides with social and environmental justice. \n12:15 PM – 1:15 PM: Brown v. Board of Education and Why It Matters to Your Practice Today \n\nMichael Rafferty – Harris Shelton\n\nIn its opinion in Brown v. Board of Education\, the Supreme Court chose to omit a discussion\nof the facts of the case and focus instead on the effects of racial segregation in public\nschools. In so doing\, the Court missed an opportunity to thoroughly describe the poor\nconditions of the “colored” schools and paint the full picture of how omnipresent segregation\nwas not only in public schools\, but also in society in general. In this session\, we will revisit the\nunderlying facts of the consolidated cases and contemporaneous accounts of other aspects of\ndaily life in the state-mandated segregated South at that time and examine how today’s\npractitioners can help put the finishing touches on the end of the Jim Crow era by considering\nwhether the segregationist mentality might still exist and be hidden in current laws. The\nsession will also examine how the composition of the Court and lead counsel contributed to\nthe outcome of the case. \n1:30 PM – 3:00 PM: Artificial Intelligence as Evidence \n\nThe Honorable Paul W. Grimm\, U.S. District Judge for the District of Maryland\nMaura R. Grossman\, Research Professor in the School of Computer Science at the University\nof Waterloo\, Adjunct Professor at Osgoode Hall Law School\, affiliate faculty member of the\nVector Institute\, Ontario\, Canada\, principal at Maura Grossman Law\n\nIn the ever-changing landscape of eDiscovery and modern forms of evidence\, understanding\ncutting-edge topics relating to Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become essential for\nlitigators. Topics to be covered in this session include the fundamentals of AI\, including an\nunderstanding of how it works\, how it is being used in the legal industry and elsewhere\, and\nsome of the issues AI implicates. In addition\, the session will also address what admissibility\nissues are posed in introducing AI evidence and how to address those issues\, as well as a\ndescription and analysis of the pertinent rules of evidence and how they apply to AI. \n3:15 PM – 4:15 PM: Judges Panel \n\nChief District Judge S. Thomas Anderson\nDistrict Judge Thomas L. Parker\nDistrict Judge Mark S. Norris\n\nChief Magistrate Judge Tu M. Pham will discuss a wide range of topics related to federal practice and professionalism. Magistrate Judge Annie T. Christoff will moderate the panel. \n\nRegistration\n\nPrivate Practice Attorneys: FBA Members $20 / Non-FBA Members $100\nGovt Attorneys: FBA Members $10 / Non-FBA Members $50\nCJA Panel Members\, Judicial Law Clerks\, Law Students: Free\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister Online: https://www.fbamemphis.org/event-details/memphis-mid-south-fba-annual-seminar\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCLE\nApproved for 6 hours of TN CLE credit (3.75 hours of dual credit and 2.25 hours of general credit \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEmail Communication Policy \nBy registering for this event\, you agree to receive email communications from the Federal Bar Association and affiliated sponsors of the program concerning event details\, Continuing Legal Education certification\, programming changes\, upcoming events\, surveys\, and post-event communications. \n\nIf you have any questions regarding this program\, please contact Deb Ireland
