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. This course will provide an overview of the latest research\, but also teach ways to minimize its effect (without alienating the judge and jury). \nHosted by FBA Sponsor: Greene Espel PLLP \n\nAbout the Presenters\nSybil Dunlop (she/her/hers) is a national thought leader on Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion issues. She created and teaches award-winning Diversity & Inclusion programming which receives rave reviews. One City Attorney called her program “one of the most powerful\, thought-provoking\, and engaging presentations” ever attended. A Diversity & Inclusion Director reports\, “I have invited Sybil to speak on implicit bias four times\, and every time I get rave reviews from the audience. 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. Clients praise her ability “to communicate well with a diverse array of people.” And another client says\, “She really is 100% client-focused. If I want to talk\, she will ring instantly. She is the most responsive lawyer I have ever met in my life and I feel like I am her only client.’” Based on this feedback\, Chambers USA: America’s Leading Lawyers for Business recognized Sybil as a notable practitioner in 2020. \nSybil attended Smith College and Vanderbilt University Law School where she graduated Order of the Coif. She is also the past president and a board member of the Infinity Project whose mission is to increase the gender diversity of the state and federal bench. \nAmran Farah (she/her/hers) is an experienced investigator\, litigator\, and speaker with a tenacious knack for identifying creative solutions to complex problems. Amran currently serves as President of the Minnesota Association of Black Lawyers\, spearheading the organization’s response to the murder of George Floyd. This response has included drafting and issuing press releases as well as running an overwhelmingly successful Silent Protest for attorneys standing in solidarity in the fight for justice. She is also leading a working group to end racial inequities in the legal profession and organizing pro-bono representation of protestors and impacted business owners in Minneapolis and St Paul. Amran’s talents are widely recognized. In December 2019\, Senators Amy Klobuchar and Tina Smith selected her to serve on the Judicial Selection Committee for an open seat on the federal court bench. \nBefore joining Greene Espel\, Amran worked at an insurance defense firm providing legal services to clients in Minnesota\, Wisconsin\, and North Dakota. After law school\, she clerked for the Honorable Franklin L. Noel in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota\, and the Honorable Pamela G. Alexander in Hennepin County District Court. \nJenny Gassman-Pines (she/her/hers) regularly conducts internal investigations for employers to help them assess allegations of discrimination\, sexual harassment\, and other misconduct. In this arena\, she is known for her ability to connect with clients and witnesses\, particularly in matters involving sensitive issues or difficult personalities. Jenny also helps clients develop proactive and incisive strategies about how to avoid litigation and disputes in employment relationships\, offering recommendations to improve policies\, trainings\, and feedback. \nAs a member of Greene Espel’s Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion Practice\, Jenny specializes in helping organizations provide non-biased feedback to help improve the retention and development of diverse talent\, and she frequently teaches and advises on ways to improve feedback processes. \nJenny attended Wesleyan University and the University of Minnesota Law School where she graduated Order of\nthe Coif. \n\nRegistration\nRegistration for this event is now closed.

DESCRIPTION:Join the New Orleans Chapter of the FBA Admiralty Law Committee for this CLE on \n\nDecember 15\, 2020\, from 12:00-1:00 p.m. CST on Zoom. \n\n\n\n\nThe M/T ATHOS I departed Puerto Miranda\, Venezuela\, with a full cargo of Bachaquero crude oil destined for the CITGO refinery at Paulsboro\, New Jersey\, in the Delaware River. 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. Walker\, Chaffe McCall\, L.L.P. \nDerek Walker is a Partner in the New Orleans office of Chaffe McCall and heads the firm’s International Practice Section. He has served as lead counsel in varied areas of arbitration and litigation\, including cases involving business transactions; contractual disputes; insurance issues; personal injury and death; property damage; and products cases. \nDerek works closely with corporate clients in a full range of industries including maritime\, foreign/international\, oil and gas\, cement\, trucking\, domestic and foreign insurers. He has tried jury and judge cases throughout the U.S.\, including Puerto Rico and has successfully handled numerous arbitrations. His experience includes cases involving: attachments/seizure of assets; dock damages; fires and explosions; groundings; Lloyd’s coverage disputes; oil spills; product failures/product contamination; post-Hurricane Katrina flood and insurance litigation; and ship collisions. \n\nRegistration\nRegistration for this event will close on Sunday\, December 14. \nRegistration Fees \n\nFBA Member – $0\nNonmember – $30\nGovernment – $15\nLaw Student (Nonmember) – $10\n\nHow to Register \nRegister Online \n\n Please contact Amanda Kaiser at akaiser@nofba.org with cancellation and/or substitution requests. \n\nCLE\n1 CLE Credit – Pre-approved for CLE credit in Louisiana. \n\nIf you have any questions regarding this program\, please contact Amanda Kaiser\, Executive Director\, Federal Bar Association\, New Orleans Chapter.
