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:2022 [Virtual] Thurgood Marshall Moot Court Competition
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \nThe Younger Lawyers Division of the Federal Bar Association is pleased to announce the\nAnnual Thurgood Marshall Memorial Moot Court Competition will be held virtually March 14-18\, 2022  \n\nWhile the decision to make the national competition wholly virtual was a difficult one\, the YLD has determined it was ultimately the safest option for the health and wellbeing of the students\, coaches\, staff\, competition volunteers\, and the communities around them. The online format is also consistent with the learning plans of many law schools across the country. \nAlthough the competition looks different in a virtual setting\, key aspects will remain intact and continue to make it one of the premier moot court competitions in the country. Teams will be given a problem they will use to prepare and submit written briefs and argue orally against other teams in front of a panel of judges. The competition’s judges will continue to be actual state or federal court judges\, practitioners\, or scholars—many of whom had to pivot to virtual hearings\, conferences\, and general practices in their careers. This reinforces the “real world” experience for competitors. As is tradition\, the competition will conclude with an awards ceremony\, where family\, FBA members\, and leaders are invited to attend. Finally\, as an added bonus\, each participant in the competition receives a free one-year law student membership in the Federal Bar Association. \n\nDates & Deadlines\nMonday\, January 10\, 2022: Registration & Entry Fee Deadline \nMonday\, January 31\, 2022: Problem & Rules Distributed \nFriday\, March 4\, 2022: Briefs Due (must be received by 11:59pm (ET) \nMarch 14\, 2022: Welcome and Competitor Training* \nMarch 15-18\, 2022: Oral Arguments* \nALL TIMES (ET). *All times are subject to change \n \n\nRegistration Has Closed\nIf you are interested in learning more about the FBA Younger Lawyers Division\, its programs\, or publications\, please email sections@fedbar.org.
