SUMMARY:Webinar: Pablo Picasso and the Art of Pleading\, Proving and Arguing Foreign Law in U.S. Courts with Judge Loretta Preska
DESCRIPTION:Pablo Picasso’s artworks and estate have sparked controversies requiring U.S. courts to grapple with issues of foreign law. In de Fontbrune v. Wofsy\, 838 F.3d 992 )(9th Cir. 2016) a decision involving a U.S. enforcement proceeding Picasso’s copyrights\, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals accused other federal circuit courts of “semantic sloppiness” in requiring parties seeking to apply foreign law to bear the burden of proving it. The Ninth Circuit looked to Rule 44.1 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (enacted in 1966) which permits a court to consider “any relevant source” of foreign law and treats the court’s determination of foreign law as a ruling on a question of law. In Zuckerman v. The Metropolitan Museum of Art\, 307 F.Supp.3d 304 (S.D.N.Y. 2018) aff’d 928 F.3d 186 (2d Cir. 2019) Judge Loretta Preska considered a claim of duress made by victims of Nazi persecution under the Italian law of duress to recover Picasso’s The Actor from the Metropolitan Museum following transactions in Switzerland\, Italy\, France and ultimately New York. In Zuckerman\, Judge Preska analyzed the choice of law issues\, including (i) whether Italian law and New York law conflicted and (ii) how New York’s “interest analysis” applied to the jurisdictions through which the artwork had passed and (iii) how choice of law rules differ in contracts versus torts. This program will provide an analytical framework for attorneys nationwide seeking to navigate issues of foreign law and choice of law. \nPresented by the Federal Litigation Section \n\nAbout the Presenters\nRaymond J. Dowd is a litigation partner with Dunnington Bartholow & Miller LLP in New York City.  He has litigated a number of landmark art restitution cases in the state and federal courts.  He is the author of Copyright Litigation Handbook (Thomson Reuters West 14th Ed. 2020-21) and currently serves on the Board of Governors of  the National Arts Club\, as President of the American Foreign Law Association and on the Board of the Fordham Law Alumni Association.  He has held numerous leadership positions in the Federal Bar Association and was the 2020 recipient of the Earl W.
