SUMMARY:[Virtual] 2021 D.C. Indian Law Conference
DESCRIPTION:In 2021\, tribal nations have continued to work through the unprecedented challenges presented by the global coronavirus pandemic while addressing a number of other key legal issues that could have implications for Indian country for generations to come\, ranging from new and recurring questions about the breadth of tribal jurisdiction to approaches for expanding economic development opportunities\, and well beyond. Please join us for the Virtual D.C. Indian Law Conference on November 18-19\, 2021 as we hear from leading experts exploring some of these issues. Panel topics will include Equal Protection and Other Constitutional Attacks\, Indian Country’s COVID-19 Response\, Exercising Criminal Jurisdiction in the Wake of McGirt\, and IGRA\, Sports Betting and the Internet. \nRegistration for this event is now closed. \n\n\nAgenda\nAll Times Below are in Eastern Standard Time (EST) \n\nThursday\, November 18\, 2021\n12:00 – 1:30 p.m. ET | Exercising Criminal Jurisdiction in the Wake of McGirt \nThis panel reviews McGirt v. Oklahoma\, 140 S. Ct. 2452 (2020)\, where the U.S. Supreme Court affirmed the continued existence of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation Reservation boundaries. Tribal\, Federal\, and State jurisdictional implications of the decision will be discussed\, as well as how Oklahoma Tribes and our federal partners are responding to ensure tribal lands and surrounding communities remain safe for everyone. \n\nRobin Lash\, General Counsel\, Miami Tribe of Oklahoma (moderator)\nSara Hill\, Attorney General\, Cherokee Nation\nTracy Toulou\, Director\, Office of Tribal Justice\, U.S. Department of Justice\nO. Joseph Williams\, Attorney\, Reservation Legal Solutions\, PLLC\n\n2:00 – 3:30 p.m. ET | IGRA\, Sports Betting\, and the Internet \nThis panel will discuss the landscape of Indian gaming and the Internet. For years\, Tribal governments engaged in gaming have strategized about how best to participate in online and mobile event wagering. The challenges have been political\, legal\, and economic. The ongoing pandemic accelerated this process in some manners and has provided early glimpses about what Indian gaming may look like in tomorrow’s technological era. Please join us for this important discussion.” \n\nDerrick Beetso\, Director\, Indian Gaming and Tribal Self-Governance Programs\, Arizona State University College of Law\nJoseph Webster\, Partner\, Hobbs\, Straus\, Dean & Walker\, LLP\nScott Crowell\, Crowell Law Office – Tribal Advocacy Group\nMike Hoenig\, General Counsel\, National Indian Gaming Commission\n\nFriday\, November 19\, 2021\n12:00 – 1:30 p.m. ET | Equal Protection and other Constitutional Attacks on Indian Law \nThose who seek to undermine Indian Tribes and the unique place they occupy in the constitutional structure frequently use Equal Protection as their vehicle for doing so.  Sometimes they claim that Indians are the beneficiaries of “special rights” unconstitutionally denied to non-Indians\, other times that Indians are denied full access to the rights to which they are entitled as U.S. citizens; and sometimes\, as in the Brackeen litigation\, they argue both at the same time.  This panel will discuss the many ways in which parties use Equal Protection to attack Indian Law\, in contexts as diverse as the Indian Child Welfare Act\, the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act\, and attempts to overturn the Supreme Court’s McGirt decision.  It also will situate these Equal Protection challenges within the broader framework of constitutional challenges to Indian Law.  Finally\, it will give practitioners the tools they need to push back against these arguments. \n\nGregory A. Smith\, Partner\, Hobbs\, Straus\, Dean & Walker\, LLP (moderator)\nIan Heath Gershengorn\, Partner\, Jenner & Block\nRiyaz Kanji\, Kanji & Katzen\, PPLC\nWenona Singel\, Associate Professor\, Michigan State University College of Law\n\nSession sponsored by: Hobbs\, Straus\, Dean & Walker LLP \n2:00 – 3:30 p.m. ET | Indian Country’s COVID-19 Response\n \nThe Covid-19 pandemic has had significant impacts on businesses and communities\, and Indian Country is no exception.  This panel will discuss a number of the business and economic challenges—and opportunities—encountered by tribes as a result of the pandemic.  Topics include accessing FRF and ARPA funds\, insurance claims for the business interruption losses suffered by tribal businesses\, SSBCI and other federal benefits provided to tribes for COVID relief\, and considerations for tribal employers\, such as the OSHA vaccine and testing mandate. \n\nJennifer Hughes\, Partner\, Hobbs\, Straus\, Dean & Walker\, LLP\nTae Phillips\, Shareholder\, Ogletree\, Deakins\, Nash\, Smoak & Stewart\, P.C.\nSusannah Carr\, Partner\, Gordon Tilden Thomas Cordell LLP\nMaranda Compton\, Partner\, Van Ness Feldman LLP\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration\nRegistration for this event is now closed. \n\n\n\nCancellation Policy: No refunds will be made for cancellations received after the close of business on November 10\, 2021.

SUMMARY:Practicing Immigration Law During the Pandemic and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Covid – 19 has brought radical changes to the already challenged immigration adjudication and processing systems and agencies. This webinar will feature three experienced immigration attorneys whose practices combined cover all aspects of immigration practice. They will address a variety of issues from the modification and effects of Title 42 to the slowdowns in general processing both at the USCIS offices in the US\, the reopening of immigration courts\, consular services etc.  To top it off\, the change in Presidential administrations has led to new leadership and vision which has led to some new policies while others remain in place. The panelists will discuss the implementation of new policies\, the reversal or revocation of those from the last administration and the challenges in accessing the agencies during the pandemic. \nThis webinar is integral for both the newer practitioner and the veteran trying to navigate the changes and transitions in the varied agencies that adjudicate immigration related matters. \nRegistration is Closed \n\nPanelists\nTina Goel\, Staff Attorney\, Miles & Stockbridge (Moderator) \nWith the keen understanding that immigration law is as much a human concern as a business one—with real impacts for real people—Tina Goel brings a holistic approach to her practice\, employing a “big picture” assessment of her clients’ particular situations and long-term goals when developing strategies to help them navigate the U.S. immigration system and achieve success. \nTina began her career working on removal defense\, and now represents clients across the spectrum of complex family and employment-based petitions\, as well as naturalization. Her 360-degree perspective on immigration allows her to address issues head-on\, with a deft personal touch that honors the priorities of each client. \nA hands-on immigration lawyer\, Tina counsels clients across multiple industries\, including healthcare\, finance\, real estate\, technology\, and higher education. She is particularly well-versed in working with employees and employers\, including physicians\, researchers\, and professors\, working directly with beneficiaries and applicants to tie together often complex considerations into a digestible narrative. \nPrior to joining Miles & Stockbridge\, Tina was part of a small team dedicated to serving the needs of healthcare and technology clients\, focused on O-1As\, H-1Bs\, L-1s\, E-1/2s and petitions for those with extraordinary ability serving as outstanding researchers or professors and eligible for a national interest waiver\, as well as obtaining INA § 212(e) or J-1 waivers based on a variety of grounds\, including the Conrad 30 program or a recommendation by another interested government agency. She is fluent in spoken Hindi\, and is a frequent contributor and speaker at immigration conferences across the United States. \nRebecca Kitson\, Managing Partner\, Rebecca Kitson Law \nRebecca Kitson practices exclusively immigration law at her firm\, including humanitarian relief\, family-based immigration\, nonimmigrant visas\, removal defense\, and the immigration consequences of crime. Rebecca has taught Immigration Law and related courses as an adjunct professor at the University of New Mexico School of Law since 2009. She sits on the executive committee for the Texas\, New Mexico & Oklahoma chapter of the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA)\, and presents and publishes widely on the national and state levels. \n  \nDiane Butler\, Chair\, FBA Washington State Chapter  \nDiane M.

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.

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. There are restrictions\, however\, on the ability of these former government professionals to approach the U.S. government\, particularly their former agencies\, on behalf of clients or employers. There are additional restrictions\, where the principal is a foreign entity. The key federal statute and regulations governing these restrictions are 18 U.S.C. § 207 (Restrictions on former officers\, employees\, and elected officials of the executive and legislative branches) and 5 C.F.R. § 2641 (Post-employment conflict of interest restrictions). \nThis presentation will examine the general provisions of the statute and regulations\, discuss the prohibitions they stipulate\, and the applicable exceptions and waivers. The presentation will offer a special focus on the restrictions relating to foreign entities\, and the relationship of these restrictions to the Foreign Agents Registration Act of 1938 (FARA). The presentation will also offer an overview of key federal agency components and other resources relevant to the compliance with\, and enforcement of the statute and its implementing regulations. \nPresented by the Senior Lawyers Division \n\nAbout the Presenters\n \nArmen Kharazian is the owner of a small law practice in the District of Columbia specializing in white-collar criminal defense (Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and anti-money laundering statutes)\, export control and sanctions\, Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) and Lobbying Disclosure Act\, 18 U.S.C. § 207 (Restrictions on former officers\, employees\, and elected officials of the executive and legislative branches)\, and corporate formation.

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.
