SUMMARY:Webinar: Working with and Challenging Expert Witnesses
DESCRIPTION:Panelists will discuss the legal standards for admissible expert testimony\, practical tips for working with a scientific expert in science based cases\, and strategies for why\, when\, and how to challenge the opinions of an opposing expert. Mr. Jacobs will discuss the approaches an attorney may pursue in Patent litigation and other Science Based cases. In patent cases\, trials were often handled by litigation attorneys in the beginning and only after creation of the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit did cases begin to be handled by science-educated attorneys.  Mr. Jacobs saw cases where each side had well qualified experts and rarely was there a “Daubert” challenge. Rather experts were challenged on their scientific analyses. Mr. Michel’s experience is quite different\, and his cases involved frequent “Daubert’ challenge for a variety of strategic reasons\, particularly challenges to quasi-scientific\, social science\, and non-scientific experts.  How to use the economic analysis of the other side to help you select one or more experts\, and why you might hire more than one will be discussed. Also\, the difference between testifying experts and consulting experts will be explored\, along with the strategy of when and why to employ them. \nPresented by the Senior Lawyers Division and the Younger Lawyers Division. \n\nAbout the Presenters\nAlbert Jacobs\, Jr.\, Chair of Senior Lawyer’s Division of the FBA\, Albert Jacobs PLLC\nWith more than 40 years of experience in every phase of Patent Law\, Mr. Jacobs has spent the last 30 years litigating Biotech\, Pharmaceutical\, and Medical Device Patents\, for multinational companies both before the Federal District Courts\, the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC) and the International Trade Commission (ITC).

SUMMARY:Webinar: Conflict of Interest Restrictions After Government Employment
DESCRIPTION:Many federal government employees who retire\, establish a consulting practice\, or take up employment in the private sector\, using their skills and experience to support the business needs of their clients and employers. There are restrictions\, however\, on the ability of these former government professionals to approach the U.S. government\, particularly their former agencies\, on behalf of clients or employers. There are additional restrictions\, where the principal is a foreign entity. The key federal statute and regulations governing these restrictions are 18 U.S.C. § 207 (Restrictions on former officers\, employees\, and elected officials of the executive and legislative branches) and 5 C.F.R. § 2641 (Post-employment conflict of interest restrictions). \nThis presentation will examine the general provisions of the statute and regulations\, discuss the prohibitions they stipulate\, and the applicable exceptions and waivers.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Holocaust and the Rule of Law
DESCRIPTION:Michael Taylor participated in the French Resistance and the Polish Refugee Resistance during World War II. He will speak about how the Holocaust came about within the rule of law as well as his role as a French Resistance and Polish Refugee Resistance fighter.    \nPresented by the International Law Section and Senior Lawyers Division  \nRegistration for this event is now closed. \n\nAbout the Presenters:\nMichael Taylor\, WWII Veteran\, French Resistance and Polish Refugee Resistance Fighter  \nMichael fought in the Polish Refugee Army\, French Resistance\, American\, and French World War II armies. After the Allies liberated France\, he visited Patton’s Rainbow Brigade\, which liberated Dachau and Buchenwald in Germany. Following the war\, he acquired four very rare legal certificates to take his three surviving sisters\, all under the age of 12\, with him to lead new lives in Palestine on a ship of 1000 refugees\, including Dr Ruth. Michael’s sisters had survived separately in Vichy\, France thanks in part to being hidden in a Catholic grade school\, aided by future Mime Marcel Marceau. \nUpon arriving in Israel\, Michael joined the elite Givati Reprisal Brigade. As a trained machine gunner\, he helped Israel attain independence. This took 9 months\, and 10 percent of Jews were killed. The Tzeuchneider (pron. Tuchschneider) family had all their property stolen from Belgium except rare photos\, which are included in today’s power point presentation\, along with family and archival military photos. \nMichael met his wife\, Rita\, when she came as tourist in 1952 to his Tel Aviv Main Street magazine store. They married after one month and communicated in Yiddish. Rita’s family members were socialist refugees from Tsarist Russia who had fled the 1905 pogrom. Michael’s family had fled similar murderous pogroms in Warsaw in 1924 and traveled across Europe\, spending ten peaceful years as religious Jews in Brussels. \nAlthough married and an American veteran\, Michael was not issued a visa during the Cold War to join his wife until he translated his Polish name Tzeuchneider to Taylor at the advice of Rita’s cousin working at the State Department. \nMichael now tells his story through lectures and webinars with his son\, Shannon. \nShannon Taylor\, Son to Michael Taylor \nShannon was born in 1955. He graduated Tufts University magna cum laude in 1976. He has practiced law since graduating Temple Law with Hebrew University Law in 1979. Shannon was a civil and criminal trial lawyer in New York City and Hackensack. \nHe is published\, has lectured for over thirty-five years\, and led a decade of 92nd Street Y tours at most of NYC’s private university and entertainment clubs. He is an award-winning photojournalist\, solarian\, percussionist and mineralogist. \nShannon has hosted a weekly prime time TV interview and commentary with his father called “The Conversation” for the past ten years. FBA Senior Lawyer Section Chair Steven Miller and many distinguished jurists\, refugees\, emigres\, entertainers\, authors\, political figures\, and scholars have all been guests. \n\nRegistration\nRegistration for this event is now closed. \nRegistration Fees \n\nFBA Member: $0\nAmerican Association of Jewish Lawyers and Jurists: $10\nNonmember: $75\n\nLive Captioning\nShould you request live captioning or another accommodation in order to participate in this webinar\, please contact meetings@fedbar.org at least 10 days before the event so we may make the necessary arrangements. \nCancellation Policy\nNo refunds will be made for cancellations received after the close of business on November 19\, 2020.
