SUMMARY:Webinar: Qualified Immunity in 2024-2025

SUMMARY:Qui Tam Section: [VIRTUAL] Proving Conspiracy Under the FCA
DESCRIPTION:**Program hosted in (ET) Time Zone** \nExperienced FCA counsel will discuss the development\, pleading\, strategic issues\, factual complexities\, and relative legal ease of litigating a case where defendants are alleged to have conspired to violate the FCA. The discussion will center on their experience in litigating one of the most factually and procedurally complex FCA cases. The roundtable will cover the process from amassing the evidentiary background to plead and survive dismissal of conspiracy claims\, the strategic decisions impacting discovery\, and the types of evidence which will satisfy (for summary judgment purposes) the legal element of establishing an agreement among the conspirators to violate the FCA. The panel will also juxtapose a conspiracy claim to one based on causing the submission of false claims\, and the relative ease of the former. Finally\, the panelists will touch on issues related to resolution\, including joint and several liability. \n  \nRegister Today!\nPresented by the FBA Qui Tam Section \n  \n\nPresenters\nPamela C.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Lincoln\, Napoleon and Hitler Walk Into A Bar: Does the 1907 Hague Convention on Land Warfare Require Signatory Countries To Open Courts To Claims For Restitution of Nazi-Looted Art?
DESCRIPTION:The Hague Conventions\, The Lieber Code and International Law \n**Program hosted in (ET) Time Zone** \nDo statutory bars to Holocaust victim families recovering looted artworks violate the international law of war? Our speaker explores this question. Article 47 of the 1899 and 1907 Hague Conventions on Land Warfare forbids pillage. Article 56 requires “legal proceedings” for seizures of artworks. Following World War II\, using statutes of limitations and acquisitive prescription\, many Hague Convention signatories closed their courts to Nazi-era claims to recover pillaged and seized artworks. Closing courts to “legal proceedings’ violates the Hague Convention\, defeats its goal of taking the profit motive out of wars of aggression\, and rewards concealment and laundering stolen property. In the United States\, Congress passed the Holocaust Victims Redress Act of 1998 (the “HVRA“) to apply the 1907 Hague Convention to claims involving Nazi looted art. The Holocaust Expropriated Art Recovery Act of 2016 (the “HEAR Act”) reopened U.S. courts and extended statutes of limitations by six years for past and future claims to artworks and cultural property lost as a result of Nazi persecution. Our speaker urges that the U.S. approach of re-opening the courts is required by the Hague Convention. Hague Convention compliance could be best achieved by a Directive from the European Parliament requiring re-opening courts to such claims. \nRegister Today!\nPresented by the Federal Bar Association’s Veterans and Military Law Section and International Law Section. \n\nAbout the Presenters\n \nRaymond J.

SUMMARY:Immigration & Criminal Law Sections: Crimmigation Webinar
DESCRIPTION:**Webinar hosted in (ET) Time Zone** \nWhat is Crimmigation? It’s when Criminal Law and Immigration Law collide. Register today to discover the immigration consequences of criminal charges and convictions. Hear from seasoned criminal defense attorney Ronald L. Greenblatt and veteran immigration and criminal law attorney Peter Thompson. Ron and Peter have worked over the years as a team on numerous high-stakes federal cases with immigration consequences – including pre-indictment white collar crimes. Let them share with you the real value of how teaming up with immigration counsel\, rather than just obtaining a Padilla memo\, can produce good outcomes for clients. \nRegistration has closed.\nPresented by the Immigration Law Section and the Criminal Law Section  \n\n\n\n \n\nPresenters\n \nRonald L. Greenblatt\, Partner \nRonald L. Greenblatt has successfully litigated more than 1\,000 trials involving allegations ranging from serious criminal offenses to civil rights violations\, family law disputes\, consumer fraud claims\, and employment issues. \nSince the age of 20\, Mr. Greenblatt has protected the rights of individuals and groups. In 1981\, he became one of the youngest union shop stewards in U.S. history when he was elected shop steward for New Jersey Restaurant Local 54 (now Local 33). In this position\, he fought grievances brought against his fellow union members and filed grievances on behalf of union members. Upon his graduation from law school in 1987\, Mr. Greenblatt joined the Defender Association of Philadelphia. There\, he handled the defense and trials of hundreds of accused people and was one of only two lawyers appointed to the prestigious Special Defense Unit. He became adept in media relations in connection with successfully trying some of the area’s highest profile cases. \nIn employment cases\, Mr. Greenblatt investigates and litigates claims of discrimination and other employment-related claims. He has recovered millions of dollars for his clients in state and federal court actions. \nRon has been named a Super Lawyer in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey\, making him one of the few lawyers to be named a Super Lawyer in both states. He has also rated as a Best Lawyer in Pennsylvania in both criminal and employment law-individuals. He has an AV rating (the highest rating offered) by Martindale-Hubbell for his legal ability and ethical standards. \nMr. Greenblatt is often asked to lecture to judges\, criminal defense lawyers\, new prosecutors\, and Rutgers and Temple law students on adult and juvenile criminal law subjects. He also serves on the advisory board of Ohlbaum on Evidence and on Criminal Law Practice and Procedure in Pennsylvania. \nMr. Greenblatt is the Treasurer for the Atlantic Center for Capital Representation\, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping attorneys and individuals facing the death penalty and other unjust sentences. Mr. Greenblatt is a founding Master of the Philadelphia Criminal Law Inn of Court\, where he has served on the Executive Committee since the Inn was founded in 2011. Ron is a member of the Pennsylvania Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers\, where he previously served as Vice-President of the Eastern Region and was on the Board of Directors. \nMr. Greenblatt graduated Rutgers University School of Law in 1987. He also received his B.A. from Rutgers University in 1984\, where he majored in economics and minored in accounting. \n  \n \nPeter Thompson\, Esq. \nPeter Thompson\, Esq. is an unwavering\, determined\, and reliable immigration and criminal law attorney known for his tireless efforts in handling critical legal issues. A trial attorney with over 25 years of trial and appellate experience\, Peter actively represents individual clients in both the immigration and criminal courts. He is passionate about his work and clients and\, through careful and rigorous preparation\, confident in his representation. He is devoted to the success of his clients and their protection within our legal system. \nIn 1999\, Peter joined the Defender Association of Philadelphia. A public defender\, he represented children and adults in criminal court. Peter then joined the appellate unit\, all the while actively working with clients in the criminal trial courts. In 2008\, he was chosen for and accepted the Director of the Defender’s Immigration Project position. An industry leader\, this unique collaboration between immigration specialists and criminal trial attorneys works tirelessly to advise non-citizen (immigrant) clients of the immigration consequences of criminal charges and convictions. In 2010\, Peter and his team joined in an amicus brief for the (ultimately successful) Supreme Court case Padilla v. Kentucky. This important case granted to non-citizen (immigrant) defendants the right to accurate immigration consequences advice from their criminal defense attorneys. Since then\, Peter\, in addition to direct representation of private clients\, is sought after by fellow criminal trial attorneys across the nation for advice and guidance regarding the immigration consequences their clients with criminal convictions face. He has co-authored legal guides\, taught in both University and Law Schools\, and regularly teaches both lawyers and judges regarding his legal specialties or immigration and criminal law. He is a recognized member of the Criminal Justice Act Panel for the EDPA\, where he serves as a court appointed immigration expert. Most important for Peter is his crafting of the individualized\, creative and comprehensive legal services he provides his clients with immigration and criminal matters. \nIn addition to his robust immigration and federal criminal defense practice\, Peter actively defends parents and their children facing allegations of improper removal under the International Child Abduction cases (Hague Convention). Combining his unique and comprehensive skill set – a federal trial attorney well versed in both immigration and criminal law with international law experience – Peter supports parents and children who flee abusive relationships and seek protections in the United States. Peter is first and foremost a trial attorney – when others concede\, Peter and his team fight to protect his clients in federal court. The U.S. judicial and court system provides a unique opportunity to shed light upon and challenge allegations of child and spousal abuse. Accessing the protections of the courts through creativity and tenacity is the hallmark of Peters practice in this specialized and demanding area of the immigration\, criminal and international law. \nPeter\, a devoted lawyer for his clients\, also serves an essential role in training other attorneys\, judges\, and aspiring lawyers in the areas of immigration and criminal defense law. He frequently lectures locally and nationally on immigration consequences\, Criminal Defense\, and Trial Advocacy. He is an Honors graduate of the Temple Law Trial Advocacy program\, a respected law school clinician in immigration law\, a published author\, and a valued legal colleague in the Philadelphia area. \nIt is critical to collaborate with an attorney and legal team who have the knowledge and experience to provide accurate and lasting legal solutions to your immigration\, criminal defense\, and international law needs. \n\n\nRegistration\nRegistration has closed.\nRegistration Fees \n\nComplimentary for FBA Members & Non-Members\n\nLive Captioning: Closed captioning is available for all virtual webcasts. \nInternet Requirements: Virtual programs require suitable internet strength to stream online panels.

SUMMARY:What is Mindfulness\, and Why Should Judges and Attorneys Want to Know About It?
DESCRIPTION:**Program hosted in (ET) Time Zone** \nYou might be familiar with the term mindfulness. It seems to be everywhere these days and is usually associated with meditation\, yoga\, and other wellness techniques. But mindfulness\, at bottom\, is about training the brain. As Judge Jeremy Fogel has explained\, “mindfulness actually is a remarkably simple and universal concept….Essentially\, it involves slowing down one’s mental processes enough to allow one to notice as much as possible about a given moment or situation\, and then to act thoughtfully based on what one has noticed.” \nWhile certainly contributing to improved health and personal development\, mindfulness practices can meaningfully optimize the work of lawyers and judges. Making reasoned decisions and arguments\, thoughtfully approaching repetitive tasks\, and maintaining emotional regulation in stressful situations are job requirements for all lawyers and judicial officers. This webinar—drawing on cognitive neuroscience research and mindfulness-based training in high-performance professions—will offer an opportunity for lawyers and judges to learn how mindfulness can enhance memory\, attention\, focus\, and wellbeing. \nREGISTER NOW!\nPresented by the Federal Bar Association’s Judiciary Division and its Article III Appellate Judges Committee. \n\nAbout the Presenters\n \nHonorable Robert E. Bacharach (Moderator) \nSince 2013\, Judge Robert Bacharach has served as a United States Circuit Judge for the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals. Before his appointment\, he served as a U.S. Magistrate Judge in the Western District of Oklahoma from 1999-2013. Before that appointment\, he served as a law clerk for Chief Judge William J. Holloway\, Jr. of the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals and then practiced civil litigation at Crowe & Dunlevy in Oklahoma City\, Oklahoma\, from 1987 to 1999. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n \nDr. Amishi Jha\, PhD is Director of Contemplative Neuroscience and Professor of Psychology at the University of Miami. Prior to her current post\, she was an Assistant Professor at the Center for Cognitive Neuroscience at the University of Pennsylvania. She received her B.S. in Biological Psychology from the University of Michigan\, her Ph.D. in Psychology (Cognitive Neuroscience) from the University of California–Davis\, and her post-doctoral training at the Brain Imaging and Analysis Center at Duke University in functional neuroimaging. \nWith grants from the Department of Defense and several private foundations\, she leads research on the neural bases of attention and the effects of mindfulness-based training programs on cognition\, emotion\, resilience\, and performance in education\, corporate\, elite sports\, first-responder\, and military contexts. \nIn her laboratory at the University of Miami\, she uses functional MRI\, electrophysiological recordings and behavioral techniques to understand why our attention sometimes fails us\, and if it can be trained for greater focus and less distractibility. She launched the first-ever study to offer mindfulness training tools to active-duty military service members as they prepared for deployment. What she has discovered is that without intervention\, attention is compromised\, and attentional lapses increase. Yet\, with mindfulness training\, attention can be strengthened and protected. \nIn addition to her own published body of research\, her work has been featured at TED\, NATO\, the World Economic Forum\, the Pentagon\, and the UK Parliament. She has received coverage in The New York Times\, TIME\, Forbes\, Mindful Magazine\, NPR\, and more. In addition\, she has been interviewed by Joe Rogan\, Brene Brown\, Russell Brand\, Deepak Chopra\, Duncan Trussell\, Dan Harris\, Sharon Salzberg\, and many others. In her national bestseller\, Peak Mind (Harper Collins)\, she shares her discoveries on how attention can be trained for optimal performance and well-being. You can find Dr. Jha at http://amishi.com. \n  \n \nHonorable Jeremy Fogel (ret)\, is the first Executive Director of the Berkeley Judicial Institute\, a center at Berkeley Law School whose mission is to build bridges between judges and academics and to promote an ethical\, resilient and independent judiciary. Prior to his appointment at Berkeley\, he served as Director of the Federal Judicial Center in Washington\, DC (2011-2018)\, as a United States District Judge for the Northern District of California (1998-2011)\, and as a judge of the Santa Clara County Superior (1986-1998) and Municipal (1981-1986) Courts. He was the founding Directing Attorney of the Mental Health Advocacy Project from 1978 to 1981 and was a national leader in promoting access to justice for people with chronic mental health issues. \nJudge Fogel has taught for the Federal Judicial Center since 2002 and was a lecturer at Stanford Law School\, where he taught a course on the psychology of litigation\, from 2003 until his relocation to Washington in 2011. He taught for the California Continuing Judicial Studies Program (CJSP) and California Judicial College from 1987 to 2010 and served on CJSP’s Curriculum Planning Committee for six years\, including two as chair. He has served as a faculty member for legal exchanges on ethics\, case management and intellectual property in approximately twenty foreign countries. During his tenure at the Federal Judicial Center\, he oversaw the development of the Center’s first comprehensive\, integrated curriculum for judicial branch education. \nJudge Fogel was a member of the Committee on Financial Disclosure of the Judicial Conference of the United States from 2004-2011; he chaired the subcommittee that developed the original platform and procedures for electronic filing of annual financial disclosure reports and laid the groundwork for online public access. As a California state court judge\, he chaired the Judicial Ethics Committee and Judicial Discipline and Disability Committee of the California Judges Association\, and he organized and led a confidential counseling program for judges facing disciplinary proceedings. \nHe received his B.A. from Stanford University in 1971 and his J.D. from Harvard Law School in 1974. Judge Fogel has received numerous accolades\, including the Samuel E. Gates Litigation Award from the American College of Trial Lawyers for significant contributions to the litigation process\, the President’s Award for Outstanding Service to the California Judiciary from the California Judges Association\, and the Vanguard Award from the State Bar of California for notable contributions to intellectual property law. \n\nRegistration\nRegister Here!\n\nLive Broadcast | FBA Member: $0\nLive Broadcast | Nonmember: $95\nOn-Demand Broadcast | FBA Member: $50\nOn-Demand Broadcast | Nonmember: $95\n\n\nCLE\nPlease note: CLE for this webinar has not been pre-approved.\nMyLaw and the FBA will seek 1.0 General CLE credit hours in 60-minute states\, and 1.2 General CLE credit hours in 50-minute states. \nPosted credit hours are estimated and subject to respective state approval and rounding rules.
