SUMMARY:Webinar: Decoding Website Accessibility: What Every Attorney Needs to Know
DESCRIPTION:**Program hosted in (ET) Time Zone** \nDigital accessibility has become a rising area of litigation\, affecting businesses across nearly every industry. Attorneys are now on the front lines of advising clients\, responding to claims\, and interpreting complex technical evidence tied to website accessibility. During this session\, attendees will engage with two nationally recognized consulting experts as they break down what makes a website truly “accessible” under ADA Title III and explain how the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) are applied in practice. The presenters will highlight common compliance pitfalls\, explain the different layers of guidance in WCAG (including its structure of principles\, guidelines\, and testable Success Criteria\, as well as WCAG versions and levels)\, share real-world examples that illustrate common issues\, and explain the role that consulting experts play in disputes involving website accessibility.\n \nRegister Now!\nPresented by FBA’s Civil Rights Law Section \n\nPresenters\n \n Michael Silverman\, Digital Accessibility Strategist \nMichael Silverman is a digital accessibility strategist\, consultant\, advisor and expert\, highly experienced in website/product accessibility and compliance with ADA Title III and Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).

SUMMARY:Webinar: Why Your Office Should Prioritize Wellness and How to Do So
DESCRIPTION:**Program hosted in (ET) Time Zone** \nThis program examines how legal organizations can move beyond awareness campaigns and wellness pledges toward sustainable operational practices that support lawyer well-being\, professionalism\, competence\, and organizational health. Drawing from ABA lawyer well-being initiatives\, the ABA Well-Being Pledge framework\, current lawyer mental-health research\, and implementation strategies emerging across the legal profession\, the session focuses on practical leadership\, culture\, and systems-level approaches to reducing stigma and improving sustainable performance. \nParticipants will explore the organizational barriers that often prevent implementation\, including stigma\, confidentiality concerns\, workload norms\, presenteeism\, leadership ambivalence\, and measurement challenges. The discussion introduces a practical “Pledge to Practice” implementation model that legal organizations can adapt across law firms\, courts\, government agencies\, legal departments\, bar associations\, and law schools. \nThe program also examines how legal organizations can measure progress using leading indicators\, lagging indicators\, and qualitative culture signals without reducing well-being solely to productivity metrics. Particular attention is given to transformational leadership behaviors\, psychological safety\, early help-seeking\, sustainable performance\, retention\, and professional identity formation. \nThis session is designed as a practical\, discussion-oriented CLE that equips attendees with actionable strategies they can begin implementing within 30 to 90 days. \nPresented by the FBA’s Professional Development Committee. \nRegister Now!\n\nPresenters\nModerator: Adam Stolz is a trial attorney at Homer Bonner Jacobs Ortiz & Dimond — and a staunch advocate for mental health awareness.

SUMMARY:Webinar: How Employee AI Use Destroys Trade Secret Protection: DTSA Plaintiff and Defense Practice After Trinidad
DESCRIPTION:**Program hosted in (ET) Time Zone** \nEvery time an employee pastes proprietary information into ChatGPT\, that keystroke can extinguish the secrecy a DTSA claim depends on — and courts have started saying so. Trinidad v. OpenAI\, Snyder v. Beam Technologies\, and United States v. Heppner are converging into a doctrine that treats uncontrolled AI access as a failure of reasonable measures\, reframing voluntary disclosure and terms-of-service consent as secrecy-destroying events rather than background facts. Any litigator handling trade secret matters — and any counsel advising employers who deployed consumer-grade AI without use policies — is already exposed\, often operating on pleading templates drafted before these decisions existed. This program maps how voluntary AI disclosure defeats trade secret status at the pleading stage and summary judgment\, distinguishes consumer from enterprise tiers in the reasonable-measures inquiry\, and supplies the discovery targets\, motion-practice frameworks\, and “improper means” theories both sides need. You will leave able to plead trade secret identity with the specificity courts now demand\, attack secrecy through ToS and policy gaps\, and litigate either side with current doctrine. \nPresented by the FBA’s Professional Development Committee and Intellectual Property Law Section\n \nRegister Now!\n\nPresenters\nBenjamin Fink\, President & Founding Shareholder\, Berman Fink Van Horn P.C\nBenjamin I. Fink is president and a founding shareholder of Berman Fink Van Horn P.C. in Atlanta\, where his practice centers on business and commercial litigation with a particular emphasis on competition-related disputes\, including noncompete and trade secret matters. A nationally recognized authority on restrictive covenants and trade secret law\, Benjamin pairs deep substantive knowledge with extensive courtroom experience\, having tried cases in state and federal courts across Georgia and more than fifteen other states. Clients and peers alike regard him as a leading voice in his field\, reflected in his sustained recognition by the profession’s most respected ranking organizations. \nPeter Toren\, Intellectual Property Litigator and Advisor\, Peter J. Toren\nPeter J. Toren is an intellectual property litigator and advisor dedicated to helping individuals and companies protect their IP rights\, with a particular focus on trade secrets\, computer crime\, and economic espionage. A former federal prosecutor who helped build the U.S. Department of Justice’s earliest computer crime program; Peter brings a rare combination of government enforcement experience and private-practice advocacy to high-stakes intellectual property matters. He is widely regarded as a leading authority on the criminal dimensions of IP law and is the author of the foremost treatise in the field. \n\nRegister Now!\n\nLive Broadcast | FBA Member: $0\nLive Broadcast | Nonmember: $95\nOn-Demand Broadcast | FBA Member: $50\nOn-Demand Broadcast | Nonmember: $95\n\n\nCLE\nPlease note: CLE for this webinar has not been pre-approved.\nMyLaw and the FBA will seek 2.0 General CLE credit hours in 60-minute states\, and 2.4 General CLE credit hours in 50-minute states. \nPosted credit hours are estimated and subject to respective state approval and rounding rules.

Cooke\, Membership Chair of the FBA Admiralty Law Section\, for an overview of admiralty and maritime jurisdiction—an issue that can confound the most experienced lawyers from both sides of the aisle. \nThis program will explore the history\, the distinction between “admiralty” and “maritime” and subject matter jurisdiction\, where Article III of the Constitution extends the federal judicial power to “all Cases of admiralty and maritime Jurisdiction.” By giving the Federal Judiciary jurisdiction over admiralty cases—and authorizing Congress to regulate that jurisdiction—the U.S. Constitution’s Framers sought to ensure that federal courts would resolve cases that might implicate the Nation’s foreign policy. The Supreme Court has explained that Article III’s grant of admiralty jurisdiction to the federal courts contemplates a system of maritime law coextensive with\, and operating uniformly in\, the whole country in order to promote the great interests of navigation and commerce and maintain the United States’ “diplomatic relations.” Gain valuable insight into admiralty and maritime jurisdiction that defines the general maritime law of the United States. \nRegister Now!\nPresented by the Federal Bar Association’s Admiralty Law Section \n\nPresenters\n\nMichelle Otero Valdés  \nMs. Valdés has been engaged exclusively in the practice of maritime\, admiralty and marine insurance law for over twenty-five (25) years and is experienced in all facets of civil litigation\, including\, but not limited to\, collisions\, allisions\, groundings\, emergency casualty response\, maritime attachments and arrests\, marine pollution claims under OPA90 and CLC Conventions\, defense of maritime death and injury claims\, passenger and crew claims\, marine casualty investigations\, P&I and FDD matters\, H&M claims\, subrogation claims\, claims coverage evaluation\, salvage and SCOPIC matters\, cargo claims and recoveries\, charter party disputes\, Marpol and environmental matters\, general liability defense\, freight forwarders/NVOCC liability claims\, and the negotiation and drafting of maritime-related contracts\, including marine loan documents\, purchase and sale agreements\, charter parties\, marina contracts\, ship vendor contracts\, yacht purchase/sale agreements\, chartering\, and registration of domestic and foreign vessels\, shipbuilding contracts\, crew agreements\, corporate non-compete/non-disclosure agreements and a host of other international commercial transactions and agreements focused in and around the maritime industry. \nMs. Valdés has been counsel in several high-profile cases and\, as a previous Account Executive of Thomas Miller Inc.

SUMMARY:Qui Tam Section: [VIRTUAL] Forensic Accounting Across the FCA Lifecycle
DESCRIPTION:**Program hosted in (ET) Time Zone**\n\n\n\nSuccess in a False Claims Act matter—whether you define that as a government\, relator\, or defense verdict—can turn on whether complex financial data can be transformed into clear\, credible proof—and whether you can do so early enough to drive sound strategic decisions. From initial relator disclosures through DOJ intervention decisions\, litigation\, and resolution\, forensic accounting can play a critical role in shaping FCA cases. This program examines how forensic accountants support FCA matters across the full lifecycle of a qui tam case. The panel will discuss how financial analysis helps test insider allegations\, identify and map alleged schemes\, frame damages at an early stage\, distinguish suspicious activity from actionable conduct\, and translate large\, commingled\, or high volume datasets into defensible evidence. The discussion will highlight how forensic accounting can inform decision making for relators and their counsel\, support efficient government investigation and intervention analysis\, and enable defendants to assess exposure\, challenge assumptions\, and value cases earlier and more realistically. Panelists will address best practices and common pitfalls at each stage\, from prefiling to trial\, using real-world FCA contexts such as healthcare billing\, government contracting\, grant programs\, alleged kickbacks\, and cases driven by systemic rather than isolated alleged misconduct. The program will conclude with practical takeaways for each stakeholder group on how early financial discipline and rigorous methodology can strengthen outcomes\, reduce risk\, and improve resolution strategies in FCA litigation. \nRegister Today!\nPresented by the FBA Qui Tam Section \n\nPresenters\nMODERATOR \n \nJulie K.

SUMMARY:Qui Tam Section: [VIRTUAL] Ethical & Practical Insights from Former FCA Prosecutors in Private Practice
DESCRIPTION:**Program hosted in (ET) Time Zone**\n\n\n\nJoin the FBA’s Qui Tam Section for a timely and practical discussion with a panel of former government attorneys who have since moved to the private sector. The panelists—all attorneys who recently went in-house or joined the relator’s or defense bar—will share insights from their times in government service (and since then) that will be useful to lawyers who have recently left DOJ or a USAO\, as well as to practitioners who seek a peek behind the curtain as they advise clients on FCA matters. The conversation will include a discussion of how recent government departees can navigate conflicts\, confidentiality obligations\, matter restrictions\, and client or firm expectations. The discussion also will address the practical opportunities and challenges that come with entering private practice after government service\, including how former DOJ and USAO attorneys are viewed by (and can interact most effectively with) clients\, relators’ counsel\, defense counsel\, and the government. Throughout\, the panelists will share practical strategies for engaging most productively with government counsel given their past experience and will discuss how lawyers without prior government experience have teamed up with former DOJ/USAO attorneys to provide clients with enhanced representation. \nRegister Today!\nPresented by the FBA Qui Tam Section \n\nPresenters\nMODERATOR \n\nAmy D.
