SUMMARY:Webinar: A Call to Action: Stepping Up to Lead and Effectuate Change in a Time of Crisis
DESCRIPTION:This CLE presents a unique training opportunity led by Dr. Artika Tyner\, author of the award-winning book\, The Lawyer as Leader: How to Plant People and Grow Justice\, for newer and younger attorneys to support their efforts and participation in the FBA Younger Lawyer Division’s Annual StepUp Pro Bono Challenge. In FY2020\, then-YLD Chair Adine S. Momoh led a Call to Action following George Floyd’s tragic death and the civil unrest across Minnesota\, the country and world. The YLD issued a statement and provided resources to help younger attorneys respond. The YLD then initiated a national pro bono challenge\, the StepUp Pro Bono Challenge\, and encouraged younger attorneys to step up and perform pro bono specifically addressing issues of systemic racism\, socio-economic injustice\, and access to justice. The YLD Board has since adopted it as an annual program.  In the training\, Dr. Tyner will explore her book and discuss tangible ways lawyers can use their legal skills to advocate for change in marginalized communities. Participants will learn how they can use their skills\, position\, and authority to create equal access to justice. Participants will leave motivated and with concrete action items for how they can assist in bringing about change in our communities. \nPresented by the Younger Lawyers Division\nWebinar Sponsored by: \n\nDiversity\, Equity and Inclusion Committee\nMinnesota Chapter\nAtlanta Chapter\nUtah Chapter\n\nRegistration for this event is now closed. \n\nAbout the Presenters\nDr. Artika R.

She began her journey with law school since she recognized that the law is a language of power and therefore she sought to become well versed in the law. \nSubsequently\, Tyner earned a Master of Public Policy and Leadership in order to gain tools for effecting social change through policy reform efforts. Later\, inspired by the legacy of W.E.B. Dubois\, she obtained a Doctorate in Leadership. Her doctoral studies provided her with key tools for serving in her community and promoting social justice. \nDr. Tyner is committed to empowering others to lead within their respective spheres of influence. She provides leadership development and career coaching for young professionals. She has also developed leadership educational materials for K-12 students\, college/graduate students\, faith communities and nonprofits. Additionally\, Dr. Tyner teaches leadership coursework on ethics\, critical reflection\, and organizational development. Her research focuses on diversity/inclusion\, community development\, and civil rights. She has presented her research and conducted leadership training programs both nationally and internationally. \nDr. Tyner leads by example by organizing policy campaigns\, fostering restorative justice practices\, developing social entrepreneurship initiatives\, and promoting assets-based community development.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Conflict of Interest Restrictions After Government Employment
DESCRIPTION:Many federal government employees who retire\, establish a consulting practice\, or take up employment in the private sector\, using their skills and experience to support the business needs of their clients and employers.

SUMMARY:Memphis Mid-South Chapter: FBA Annual Seminar
DESCRIPTION:The Memphis Mid-South Chapter of the Federal Bar Association invites you to join us (virtually) on Friday\, October 22\, 8:45 AM – 4:15 PM for our Annual Seminar. The seminar will feature presentations on the current and upcoming Supreme Court term\, historic Supreme Court cases\, electronic evidence and eDiscovery\, and a WDTN judges panel. \n\n8:45 AM – 9:00 AM: Welcome and Announcements on CLE Credit\n\n9:00 AM – 10:15 AM: Supreme Court Update \n\nJason Steed\, Kilpatrick Townsend\n\nWith a new Justice on the bench\, the nation’s highest court tackled everything from whether a\nstate can forbid voters from relying on another person to collect and drop off ballots (it can) to\nwhether a school can kick a student off cheer squad because she dropped an f-bomb on\nsocial media (it can’t). Jason Steed breaks it all down in this lively session and previews the\nbig issues the U.S. Supreme Court will tackle in the October 2021 term. \n10:30 AM – 11:45 AM: Citizens to Preserve Overton Park at 50 and the Byhalia Pipeline \n\nCharlie Newman\, Scott Crosby\n Sarah Stuart – Burch\, Porter\, and Johnson\nJosh Whitehead – Zoning Administrator\, Memphis and Shelby County Division of Planning and Development\, Adjunct Professor\, U of M School of Law\n\nIn 1971\, the U.S. Supreme Court sided with Citizens to Preserve Overton Park and helped\nprevent an interstate highway from being constructed through the middle of the midtown\nMemphis gem. Fifty years later\, the Mid-South was embroiled in a similar battle\, with citizens\nworking to prevent the Byhalia Pipeline from being constructed and bisecting nearly all-Black\ncommunities in southwest Memphis. This panel will discuss what happens when land\ndevelopment collides with social and environmental justice. \n12:15 PM – 1:15 PM: Brown v. Board of Education and Why It Matters to Your Practice Today \n\nMichael Rafferty – Harris Shelton\n\nIn its opinion in Brown v. Board of Education\, the Supreme Court chose to omit a discussion\nof the facts of the case and focus instead on the effects of racial segregation in public\nschools. In so doing\, the Court missed an opportunity to thoroughly describe the poor\nconditions of the “colored” schools and paint the full picture of how omnipresent segregation\nwas not only in public schools\, but also in society in general. In this session\, we will revisit the\nunderlying facts of the consolidated cases and contemporaneous accounts of other aspects of\ndaily life in the state-mandated segregated South at that time and examine how today’s\npractitioners can help put the finishing touches on the end of the Jim Crow era by considering\nwhether the segregationist mentality might still exist and be hidden in current laws. The\nsession will also examine how the composition of the Court and lead counsel contributed to\nthe outcome of the case. \n1:30 PM – 3:00 PM: Artificial Intelligence as Evidence \n\nThe Honorable Paul W. Grimm\, U.S. District Judge for the District of Maryland\nMaura R. Grossman\, Research Professor in the School of Computer Science at the University\nof Waterloo\, Adjunct Professor at Osgoode Hall Law School\, affiliate faculty member of the\nVector Institute\, Ontario\, Canada\, principal at Maura Grossman Law\n\nIn the ever-changing landscape of eDiscovery and modern forms of evidence\, understanding\ncutting-edge topics relating to Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become essential for\nlitigators. Topics to be covered in this session include the fundamentals of AI\, including an\nunderstanding of how it works\, how it is being used in the legal industry and elsewhere\, and\nsome of the issues AI implicates. In addition\, the session will also address what admissibility\nissues are posed in introducing AI evidence and how to address those issues\, as well as a\ndescription and analysis of the pertinent rules of evidence and how they apply to AI. \n3:15 PM – 4:15 PM: Judges Panel \n\nChief District Judge S. Thomas Anderson\nDistrict Judge Thomas L. Parker\nDistrict Judge Mark S. Norris\n\nChief Magistrate Judge Tu M. Pham will discuss a wide range of topics related to federal practice and professionalism. Magistrate Judge Annie T.
