SUMMARY:New Orleans Chapter: Lessons from the Field – Improving Police Practices
DESCRIPTION:Due to the intensification of Hurricane Laura\, the New Orleans Chapter of the Federal Bar Association has rescheduled this event to September 8th. We apologize for any inconvenience. Please keep those dealing with the impact of Hurricane Laura in your thoughts. \nTuesday\, September 8\, 2020 – 1:30 PM – 2:30 PM CST \nJoin the New Orleans Chapter of the FBA for a CLE directly following our Annual Meeting on September 8. Panelists Mark Giuffre\, Robert Hass\, and Debra Kirby will join moderator Sharonda Williams for this one hour CLE offered on Zoom at 1:30pm CST. \nPolice reform is not a linear process\, but rather an intersection of multiple efforts. Our expert panel of thought leaders has addressed police reform across a range of interventions including court oversight\, collaborative reform and external independent review and investigation. They will speak to the strengths and challenges of these processes in supporting constitutional policing. Not only will the value of current efforts be discussed\, but our panel will also identify common challenges in policing and emerging practices that show promise in aligning policing with the needs of the community. \nIf you are attending the Annual Meeting\, you will stay logged into the same Zoom session. This CLE is free for all interested participants. Registration is required. CLE credit is pre-approved for Louisiana only. Attendees may seek credit in other states. \nRegister Online \n\nAbout the Presenters\nSharonda Williams\, Special Counsel\, Fishman Haygood L.L.P. (moderator) \nSharonda Williams serves as Special Counsel with Fishman Haygood following a distinguished career in public service and private practice. \nSharonda served as City Attorney for the City of New Orleans from May 2013-November 2015. As City Attorney\, Sharonda was the lead attorney handling the most comprehensive police consent decree in the history of the United States.  At the same time\, she represented the City in another consent decree aimed at reforming the Orleans Parish Jail\, which was then-recognized as one of the worst prisons in America.   Both of those consent decrees required Sharonda to engage in negotiations with the United States Department of Justice on a near daily basis.  Sharonda also was the lead attorney representing the City in settling a more than 30-year dispute relating to back pay and pension issues for the New Orleans Firefighters.

SUMMARY:New Orleans Chapter: Admiralty Law CLE: The M/T ATHOS I – Meeting an Uncharted Object
DESCRIPTION:Join the New Orleans Chapter of the FBA Admiralty Law Committee for this CLE on \n\nDecember 15\, 2020\, from 12:00-1:00 p.m. CST on Zoom. \n\n\n\n\nThe M/T ATHOS I departed Puerto Miranda\, Venezuela\, with a full cargo of Bachaquero crude oil destined for the CITGO refinery at Paulsboro\, New Jersey\, in the Delaware River. CITGO had a permit from the U.S. Corp of Engineers for a ship berth alongside the refinery. When the ATHOS I was in Federal Anchorage No. 9\, which adjoined CITGO’s berth\, it struck an uncharted/unknown/undetected object later discovered to be an anchor used by dredges to weigh down dredging pipes. The anchor ripped open the ship’s single hull and spilled heavy crude into the Delaware River\, resulting in the second largest ship-related oil spill in U.S. waters\, behind the Exxon Valdez. This is the story of that debacle\, which lasted from 2004 to 2020\, winding its way through Venezuela\, Greece\, Houston\, Philadelphia\, two trials with two different judges in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania\, two appeals to the Third Circuit\, a writ denied and a writ granted by the U.S. Supreme Court\, and oral argument in\, and a decision by\, the Supreme Court. \nMuch has been written about the legal aspects and issues surrounding this case\, so presenter\, Derek A. Walker\, Esq. with Chaffe McCall\, L.L.P.\, who was directly involved as counsel of record\, will share the facts\, evolution of the case\, strategies\, frustrations\, experiences\, anecdotes\, and memories – a gumbo of “war stories” and insights. \n\nAbout the Presenters\nDerek A. Walker\, Chaffe McCall\, L.L.P. \nDerek Walker is a Partner in the New Orleans office of Chaffe McCall and heads the firm’s International Practice Section. He has served as lead counsel in varied areas of arbitration and litigation\, including cases involving business transactions; contractual disputes; insurance issues; personal injury and death; property damage; and products cases. \nDerek works closely with corporate clients in a full range of industries including maritime\, foreign/international\, oil and gas\, cement\, trucking\, domestic and foreign insurers.
