SUMMARY:Webinar: Confidentiality in Mediating Federal Administrative Law Cases
DESCRIPTION:Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) reference materials often cite “confidentiality” as a critical feature of ADR processes.  Confidentiality encourages candid discussions that open the door to negotiated resolutions-  but when ADR programs and neutrals promise confidentiality\, they must know the bounds of their promise under the law and applicable ADR agreements.  This presentation will review statutes\, caselaw\, and ADR agreements so mediators don’t promise more confidentiality than they can deliver.  The program will focus on federal administrative cases with an emphasis on FAA issues\, but will be useful to practitioners in all fields. \n  \nPresented by the Alternative Dispute Resolution Section & Transportation & Transportaion Law Section \n  \nRegistration is Closed \n\nPresenters\nIntroduction & Q&A – James Downey\, Chair\, ADR Section\n \nJames Downey is an Attorney/Advisor for the Department of the Army.

SUMMARY:Indian Law & TTSL Sections: Tribal Transportation Equity Panel
DESCRIPTION:This program\, jointly hosted by the FBA Indian Law and Transportation and Transportation Security Law sections\, is designed to share information with transportation and Tribal law practitioners regarding opportunities to use transportation programs to enhance Tribal sovereignty and address equity challenges in Indian country. Historically\, transportation infrastructure in Tribal communities has been underfunded\, which has resulted in hardships to Tribal communities. In recognition of this underinvestment and its consequences\, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL or Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act) increased investment in Tribal community transportation infrastructure. This program will highlight transportation programs in the BIL specifically designed to support Tribes\, as well as select other programs in the BIL that Tribes are eligible to apply for funding under\, and which may be used to advance equity and Tribal sovereignty. The discussion will also focus on the Tribal Transportation Self-Governance Program\, which was authorized by the FAST Act and provides Tribes with greater control\, flexibility\, and decision-making authority over federal funds used to carry out Tribal transportation programs\, functions\, services and activities in Tribal communities. Opportunities to utilize recent Memorandums of Understanding related to Treaty Rights\, Sacred Sites\, and Protecting Native Languages to advance transportation equity in Tribal communities will also be discussed. \nPresented by the Transportation and Transportation Security Law Section & the Indian Law Section \n\n \nPanelists\nChuck Hoskin Jr.\, Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation \nEldridge Onco\, Senior Tribal Affairs Advisor\, U.S. Department of Transportation \nWizipan Garriott\, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary – Indian Affairs\, U.S. Department of Interior \nDaron Carreiro\, Senior Policy Advisor for Native Affairs\, Domestic Policy Council\, The White House (moderator) \n\nRegistration\nRegistration is closed. \n\nFBA Member & Nonmembers: Complimentary Registration\n\nRegistrants will receive login details on the day before the event \nRegistration for this event will close Wednesday\, October 26 at 3 PM ET.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCLE\nPlease note CLE will not be offered for this event.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFrequently Asked Questions\nQ: How do I access the virtual webinar?\nA: Each webinar will have a unique link to watch the live broadcast.
