SUMMARY:Webinar: A Judge’s Perspective on the Science and Art of Legal Writing
DESCRIPTION:In his presentation\, A Judge’s Perspective on the Science and Art of Legal Writing\, Judge Bacharach will illustrate principles from his recently published book (ABA Press)\, entitled Legal Writing–A Judge’s Perspective on the Lessons from Science and Rhetoric. Judge Bacharach’s presentation draws on lessons from the field of psycholinguistics\, which involves the study of how the human brain processes and stores language. For example\, psycholinguistics have studied how quickly or slowly we read particular types of passages\, how the human brain filters written language\, and how the brain stores certain information for recall and not other information. But the presentation is not an academic foray into science. \nJudge Bacharach’s presentation uses these scientific principles to show how attorneys\, judges\, and law students can improve the clarity and memorability of their legal writing. The book illustrates these lessons with examples from well-known advocates and orators\, showing how we can apply the same principles to our own legal writing. \n\nAbout the Presenter\n \nHon. Robert Bacharach\, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit \nJudge Bacharach was appointed in March 2013 as a United States Circuit Judge for the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals. He graduated with High Honors from the University of Oklahoma with a B.A. in History and obtained his Juris Doctorate from Washington University School of Law in St. Louis\, where he graduated Order of the Coif. In law school\, he also served as the Developments Editor of the Washington University Law Quarterly. \nUpon graduation from law school\, Judge Bacharach clerked for Judge William J. Holloway\, Jr.\, who was then the Chief Judge of the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals. After completing this clerkship\, Judge Bachaarach practiced civil litigation at Crowe & Dunlevy in Oklahoma City. He then served as a U.S. Magistrate Judge in the Western District of Oklahoma until 2013\, when he was appointed to the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals. \nWithin the Federal Bar Association\, Judge Bacharach has served as Vice President for the Tenth Circuit\, Chairperson for the Chapter Activity Grant Committee\, and President of the Oklahoma City Chapter. In 2006\, Judge Bacharach was honored with the Earl W. Kintner Award for his outstanding service in programming and membership development to the Oklahoma Chapter. \nJudge Bacharach authored the recently published book on legal writing\, Legal Writing: A Judge’s Perspective on the Science and Rhetoric of the Written Word\, published by ABA Press. \nIn addition to this most recent work\, he has also authored Section 1983 and the Availability of a Federal Forum: A Reappraisal of the Police Brutality Cases\, 16 Memphis State University Law Review 353 (1986); Section 1983 and an Administrative Exhaustion Requirement\, 40 Oklahoma Law Review 407 (1987); Motions in Limine in Oklahoma State and Federal Courts\, 24 Oklahoma City University Law Review 113 (1999); Dirks v. SEC’s Footnote Fourteen: Horizontal and Vertical Reach\, 62 Washington University Law Quarterly 477 (1984); and Post-Trial Juror Interviews by the Press: The Fifth Circuit’s Approach\, 62 Washington University Law Quarterly 783 (1985). Judge Bacharach and Professor Lyn Entzeroth (now Dean of Tulsa University School of Law) coauthored Judicial Advocacy in Pro Se Litigation: A Return to Neutrality\, 42 Indiana Law Review 19 (2009). \n\nRegistration\nRegistration is closed for the webinar session. \nCancellation Policy \nNo refunds will be made for cancellations received after the close of business on June 29\, 2020. No-shows will be billed. Substitutions may be made at any time upon notification.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Lessons from John Steinbeck’s Grapes of Wrath: Copyright Terminations Under Section 203 and 304 of the Copyright Act
DESCRIPTION:In 1976 and 1998 Congress extended the terms of copyright.  Congress intended for authors to receive the full economic benefit of the extended copyright terms by granting authors and their heirs inalienable rights to recapture copyrights.  These recaptured copyrights\, vesting free of all prior grants\, could then be re-licensed on economic terms favorable to authors.  To protect authors’ families from disinheritances\, late-life lovers or squabbles among over-reaching heirs\, Congress preempted state inheritance law and created statutory heirs. \nCongress’ statutory scheme benefitting authors and their families has been threatened by recent decisions of the Second and Ninth Circuits that have generated a recent cert petition to the Supreme Court in Steinbeck v. Kaffaga over film rights to The Grapes of Wrath.  Many copyright termination disputes are now pending.  Join Ray Dowd in examining this fascinating case and learn why understanding the issues at stake and the mechanics of copyright terminations is important for all attorneys dealing with copyrights.  Whether you are negotiating a license agreement or advising copyright owners and their heirs on estate planning\, copyright termination is a hot issue. \nRaymond J. Dowd authored a brief in Steinbeck v. Kaffaga on behalf of amicus curiae the Authors Guild\, the Dramatists Guild\, the American Society of Journalists and Authors and former Register of Copyrights Ralph Oman. \nRegistration is now closed \n\nAbout the Presenters\n \nRaymond Dowd\, Partner\, Dunnington\, Bartholow & Miller LLP; Author\, Copyright Litigation Handbook (Thomson Reuters/WESTLAW 2019-2020) \nRaymond J. Dowd has served as lead counsel in high-stakes\, high-profile litigations and arbitrations in New York for over two decades. His book Copyright Litigation Handbook (Thomson Reuters/Westlaw) has received critical acclaim. Acting as a fiduciary by serving on non-profit boards has shaped his practical problem-solving approach and perspective.  Business and property disputes form the core of Mr. Dowd’s practice. He works with a lean\, experienced team\, including trusted experts\, to contain\, avoid\, minimize\, and settle disputes. Matters often involve foreign law and conflict-of-laws principles\, service or discovery in foreign jurisdictions. Mr. Dowd regularly represents television broadcasters in disputes relating to brand protection and content distribution in the United States\, particularly anti-piracy work.  In the mid-1990’s\, Mr. Dowd successfully petitioned for the removal of Bernard Lafferty and U.S Trust Company as co-executors of the estate of Doris Duke.  He has handled probate and estate-related disputes ever since\, gaining international prominence for his work in recovering Nazi-looted art. Mr. Dowd also assists individuals\, art owners\, dealers and corporations with trademark and transactional work\, including international licensing and distribution. He lectures regularly on art law and copyright. \nIn 2018 Network of Bar Leaders awarded Mr. Dowd the Hon. Harold Baer\, Jr. Award for service to the bench and bar.  In 2019\, Fordham Law School awarded Mr. Dowd the Roger Goebel Award for outstanding international service to the law school. \nMr. Dowd serves on the Board of Directors of the Fordham Law Alumni Association and chaired the law school’s International Law Affinity Group (2016-2019).  He serves on the Board of the National Arts Club and is a member of the Village of Westhampton Beach Conservation Advisory Council.  Past leadership positions include President of Network of Bar Leaders (2013-2014); General Counsel of the Federal Bar Association (2010-2011); FBA Vice President for the Second Circuit (2006-2012); FBA Board of Directors (2011-2016); The Federal Lawyer Magazine Editorial Board; FBA Government Relations Committee; President of Southern District of New York Chapter of the FBA (2006-2008); New York County Lawyers’ Association Board of Directors (2003-2006). \nMr. Dowd is admitted to practice law in New York State\, the U.S. District Courts for the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York\, U.S. Court of Appeals for the First\, Second\, Fifth\, Ninth and Tenth Circuits\, U.S. Supreme Court\, U.S. Tax Court and U.S. Court of International Trade. \nHe is fluent in French and Italian. \n\nRegistration\nRegistration is now closed \n\nCLE\n1 CLE Credit (60min state) / 1.2 CLE Credit (50min state) \nCredit for these complimentary webinars will be processed/reported within 4-6 weeks of the webinar event date and available for credit in states that allow credit for live webinar presentations. Your bar number must be accurate in our database to receive credit. \n\nIf you have any questions regarding this program\, please contact Caitlin Rider\, Conference Manager.
