Webinar: False Claims Act Litigation in Healthcare
2022-11-30 14:00 - 15:00 (America/New_York)
This webinar will give both an overview of False Claims Act (FCA) enforcement in the health care arena, as well as a summary of recent developments and trends in government enforcement actions against health care fraud. As health care attorneys are well aware, the health care system in the United States is the most heavily regulated industry other than nuclear energy, and the penalties for violating the regulations can be draconian – even when it is the result of honest mistakes. This webinar will highlight ways that health care attorneys can prevent their clients from being the subject of a government investigation and how to protect them if they are investigated. The subject matter is appropriate for health care regulatory and transactional attorneys, as well as for litigators – and both younger attorneys and experienced attorneys are welcome.
Presented by the Health Law Section

Eastern District of Pennsylvania Chapter: Judicial Perspectives on Copyright Litigation
2022-12-06 18:00 - 20:00 (America/New_York) | Kimpton Hotel Monaco, 433 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, PA, 19106, United States
Copyright litigation is, in many ways, similar to other litigation in federal court. But copyright cases can present unique challenges that warrant careful management, such as the early adjudication of key issues like fair use or the availability of statutory damages and how to deal with cases in which the number of works or alleged infringements threatens to make trial unwieldy. This program will explore the litigation of copyright cases through the eyes of three federal judges sitting in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. Judges Mitchell Goldberg, Wendy Beetlestone, and Joshua Wolson will discuss the management of copyright cases in the district, with lessons for litigators of all stripes who regularly appear in federal court.
