SUMMARY:[Virtual] 2020 DC Indian Law Conference
DESCRIPTION:From the global pandemic to racial justice and the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in McGirt v. Oklahoma\, 2020 has presented novel challenges and opportunities\, bringing Indian Country and the nation to a turning point. Please join us for the Virtual D.C. Indian Law Conference on November 5-6\, 2020 as we hear how Tribes are navigating this unparalleled chapter in modern history. Panel topics will include Looking Forward After McGirt\, the Impacts of COVID-19 on Indian Country\, Successes and Challenges of the Last Four Years\, and Racial Disparity and Ethics in the Indian Law Practice. \n\n  \nRegistered attendees received information on how to access virtual panels via email. Contact meetings@fedbar.org with questions. \n\nAgenda\nAll Times Below are in Eastern Standard Time (EST) \n\nThursday\, November 5\n\n12:00 – 1:30 p.m. ET\nAn Overview of Indian Country Successes and Failures Over the Past Four Years \nThis panel will highlight Indian Country successes and failures over the past four years.  Specifically\, panelists will examine the successes and failures of Congress and federal agencies. \n\nMaurisa Bell\, Associate\, Dentons US LLP (Moderator)\nElizabeth Carr\, Senior Native American Affairs Advisor\, National Indigenous Women’s Resource Center\nJoshua Clause\, Principal\, Clause Law PLLC\nHeather Sibbison\, Partner\, Chair of the Native American and Policy Practice\, Dentons US LLP\n\n2:30 – 4:00 p.m. ET\nThe Impact of COVID on Indian Country from Indian Country \nAs the world grapples with the pandemic\, Tribal Nations are contending with the pandemic’s disproportionate impacts to their communities. This dynamic panel of Tribal leaders and Indian law experts will discuss the pandemic’s unique economic and health impacts and how\, as sovereign nations\, Tribes are working to protect the safety and welfare of their communities. \n\nConnie Tsosie de Haro\, Democratic Counsel\, Senate Committee on Indian Affairs (Moderator)\nNicole Ducheneaux\, Partner\, Big Fire Law & Policy Group LLP\nSarah Harris\, Vice Chairwoman\, The Mohegan Tribe\nDoreen N. McPaul\, Attorney General\, Navajo Nation Department of Justice\nBryan Newland\, Chairman\, Bay Mills Indian Community\n\nFriday\, November 6\n12:00 – 1:30 p.m. ET\nLooking Forward After McGirt \nMcGirt v. Oklahoma was a landmark win for Indian country that confirmed time-honored Indian law principles in how Indian law cases are handled by the US Supreme Court. This acknowledgement is historic because of the geographic and possibly substantive reach of the decision. The decision is a significant and helpful clarification of Solem v. Bartlett\, one that dispels the notion that de facto diminishment/disestablishment is possible independent of statutory language. Justice Neil Gorsuch grasped the gravity of the ruling. He wrote\, “On the far end of the Trail of Tears was a promise…Today we are asked whether the land these treaties promised remains an Indian reservation for purposes of federal criminal law. Because Congress has not said otherwise\, we hold the government to its word.”  These powerful words necessitate us to ask where do we go from here? This esteemed panel discusses the potential future of Indian law after McGirt. \n\nSarah Crawford\, Associate\, Clause Law PLLC(Moderator)\nRiyaz Kanji\, Founding Member\, Kanji & Katzen PLLC\nArlinda Locklear\nJoel Williams\, Staff Attorney\, Native American Rights Fund (NARF)\n\n2:30 – 4:00 p.m. ET\nEthics and Racial Disparities in the Legal Profession   \nIn 2015\, the National Native American Bar Association published a first-of-its-kind study on the experiences of Native American attorneys across the legal profession\, shedding light on disparate experiences and widespread exclusion. This dynamic panel will address the report’s stark findings\, individual experiences in the professional setting\, as well as the mental health impacts of discrimination and racial trauma. \n\nAllie Greenleaf Maldonado\, Chief Judge\, Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians (Moderator)\nStephanie McIver\, Counseling Director\, University of New Mexico\nThomasina Real Bird\, President\, National Native American Bar Association & Partner\, Patterson Earnhart Real Bird & Wilson LLP\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration\nRegistration is now closed.

SUMMARY:Law Student Series: Racial Equity and the SDGs: A Certification Training Program for Law Students(3-Part Program)
DESCRIPTION:The urgency for racial equality is a clarion call for the legal profession. As practitioners consider how best to support this global movement\, the FBA Diversity and Inclusion (D & I) Committee aims to equip its members with a broad and practical understanding of human rights and how their work can contribute to a more just nation and planet. \nIn collaboration with UN Global Compact\, we are offering a ‘Certification Program’ promoting understanding and action aimed at member law students and the wider US legal community. The program will address how lawyers can draw on their problem-solving skills to contribute to civil justice. Importantly\, it will also introduce a framework for international human rights as enshrined in the UN Sustainable Development Goals. \nThis universally accepted agenda offers a comprehensive and quantifiable framework for the issues that continue to disproportionately impact minority and impoverished communities throughout the world. For young lawyers to have a voice in this conversation\, they must understand how these objectives and their underpinning principles\, can guide progress for governments\, businesses and even the law firms in which many of these students will soon begin their legal careers. \nRegistration for this event is now closed. \n\n\n\nSession 3: The Legislative Horizon – An International View of Human Rights Protections\nNovember 13\, 2020 ⋅ 2:00 – 3:30 ET \nWhile many governments have shown disappointing commitment\, we do see increased momentum towards state protection of both people and planet.

SUMMARY:Hon. Raymond L. Acosta Puerto Rico Chapter: Insular Cases Panel in Honor of Judge Juan Torruella
DESCRIPTION:The Yale Law Journal along with the Hon. Raymond L.

Cepeda Derieux & Neil C. Weare  \nThe Court’s recent failure to overrule the Insular Cases represents a missed opportunity to move past the racially motivated doctrine of territorial incorporation. Three cases involving the denial of citizenship\, warrantless searches\, and unequal benefits in U.S. territories demonstrate the Insular Cases’ continuing harm while offering hope for their reconsideration. \nPolitical Wine in a Judicial Bottle: Justice Sotomayor’s Surprising Concurrence in Aurelius \nby Christina D. Ponsa-Kraus  \nThis Essay criticizes Justice Sotomayor’s concurring opinion in Financial Oversight and Management Board for Puerto Rico v. Aurelius Investment\, LLC. for offering a one-sided and misleading explanation of the island’s constitutional status\, and thereby taking sides in Puerto Rico’s decolonization debate. \nHow We Study the Constitution: Rethinking the Insular Cases and Modern American Empire \nby Aziz Rana  \nThis Essay defends the importance of the Insular Cases in American constitutional development. It explores the extent to which the United States has from the founding been a project of empire as well as the centrality of events surrounding those cases to basic transformations in twentieth century legal-political practice. \nFor media inquiries or more information about the event\, please contact ylj@yalelawjournal.org.

SUMMARY:Section on Taxation: Views on LB&I’s Proposal to Obsolete Revenue Procedure 94-69
DESCRIPTION:This roundtable will discuss the status of Revenue Procedure 94-69. In August\, the LB&I announced that it is considering rescinding Rev. Proc. 94-69. Rev. Proc. 94-69 provides special procedures for taxpayers that are subject to the former Coordinated Examination Program to show additional tax due or make disclosures to avoid the imposition of accuracy-related penalties for negligence\, disregard of rules or regulations\, or substantial understatement of income tax under IRC section 6662(b)(1) and (b)(2). Those who support retaining Rev. Proc. 94-69 argue that it ensures that taxpayers with large and complex returns are able to efficiently report and fix errors\, which encourages compliance. Critics have noted that Rev. Proc. 94-69 creates disparity among LB&I taxpayers and fails to support the broader tax administration effort to improve the accuracy and reliability of returns at the time of filing. The panel will discuss their views on how this proposed change would affect taxpayers and comments that were submitted to the IRS. \n\nAbout the Speakers\nLee Meyercord focuses her practice on federal\, state\, and local taxation of corporations\, partnerships\, individuals\, and nonprofit organizations. She provides clients with tax planning advice on mergers and acquisitions\, the operation and dispositions of partnerships and limited liability companies\, and private equity transactions\, and represents taxpayers in IRS audits\, appeals\, and federal income tax litigation. Lee also counsels clients on the organization\, operation\, and termination of nonprofit corporations and trusts\, and obtaining and maintaining exemptions for these organizations from federal income\, state franchise\, sales and use\, and local ad valorem taxes. \n  \nKevin Stults concentrates his practice on federal tax controversy and litigation. He represents large financial institutions\, multinational corporations and individuals at various stages of federal income tax controversies\, including audits\, administrative appeals and judicial proceedings. Mr. Stults’ substantive experience encompasses a variety of complex tax issues\, including foreign tax credits\, economic substance/business purpose\, corporate restructurings\, life insurance\, various partnership issues\, IRS promoter examinations\, pre-filing agreements\, and the TEFRA partnership audit and litigation procedures. \n  \n\nGround Rules\n\nStatements made by government employees are made in their personal capacity and may not be relied upon as an authorized statement of any government agency.\nNo recording devices allowed.\nFBA Tax Section membership is not required to participate\, but you are encouraged to visit https://www.fedbar.org/membership/for information on becoming a member.\n\n\nInterested in Speaking?\nIf you are interested in leading a future monthly call\, please contact cfederico@crowell.com or brandon.king@bakermckenzie.com \n\nIf you have any questions regarding this program\, please contact sections@fedbar.org

SUMMARY:Sponsor Webinar: How Bias Affects Your Case from Filing Through Verdict (and how to minimize its effect)
DESCRIPTION:The latest research on bias demonstrates that it affects everything including how clients select lawyers\, how judges decide motions\, and how lawyers pick juries.

She touches people in a way that other\, more clinical speakers might not.” In recognition of her efforts\, Minnesota Lawyer selected Sybil as a Diversity & Inclusion Honoree in 2018\, and the Hennepin County Bar Association awarded her its Excellence Award for Advancing Diversity and Inclusion in 2019. \nBeyond her Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion work\, Sybil has conducted investigations and counseled clients regarding DEI policies.

CITGO had a permit from the U.S. Corp of Engineers for a ship berth alongside the refinery. When the ATHOS I was in Federal Anchorage No. 9\, which adjoined CITGO’s berth\, it struck an uncharted/unknown/undetected object later discovered to be an anchor used by dredges to weigh down dredging pipes. The anchor ripped open the ship’s single hull and spilled heavy crude into the Delaware River\, resulting in the second largest ship-related oil spill in U.S. waters\, behind the Exxon Valdez. This is the story of that debacle\, which lasted from 2004 to 2020\, winding its way through Venezuela\, Greece\, Houston\, Philadelphia\, two trials with two different judges in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania\, two appeals to the Third Circuit\, a writ denied and a writ granted by the U.S. Supreme Court\, and oral argument in\, and a decision by\, the Supreme Court. \nMuch has been written about the legal aspects and issues surrounding this case\, so presenter\, Derek A. Walker\, Esq. with Chaffe McCall\, L.L.P.\, who was directly involved as counsel of record\, will share the facts\, evolution of the case\, strategies\, frustrations\, experiences\, anecdotes\, and memories – a gumbo of “war stories” and insights. \n\nAbout the Presenters\nDerek A.
