SUMMARY:[Virtual] Fashion Law Conference
DESCRIPTION:The fashion industry is one of the world’s biggest fiscal heavyweights\, and this past year it has faced exceptional challenges.  The COVID pandemic has upended business as usual\, and has forced fundamental changes in supply chain strategies to adapt to the “new normal.”  It has also caused a boom in counterfeit products\, as the pandemic has created what some have described as a ‘perform storm” for the growth of counterfeits in the global market.  Bankruptcies and reorganizations have also dominated headlines\, as Neiman Marcus\, Brooks Brothers\, Lucky Brands\, JC Penney\, J. Crew and many others seek court protection to continue doing business.  Things are changing\, and with a new administration around the corner\, some are anticipating a tougher stance on social media\, advertising and ecommerce platforms.   This year\, legal professionals and leading industry representatives will thus explore diverse cutting-edge topics such as changes anticipated with the new Biden Presidency; the growth of counterfeits in ecommerce; issues pertaining to contract termination; liquidations and reorganizations; and what our path to returning to the office will look like in the employment and labor context. Although the arena of fashion has broadened in scope\, our lens of focus remains sharper than ever. \n\nAgenda\nMonday\, February 8 | 12:00 – 1:00 pm ET\nPandemic\, eCommerce\, and the Perfect Storm:  The Upsurge in Counterfeits\nThis panel will explore the pandemic’s effect on the sale of counterfeits online\, the existing framework to address it\, brand protection strategies and what we can anticipate with the new incoming Biden administration. \n\nModerator: Olivera Medenica\, Partner\, Dunnington Bartholow & Miller LLP\nJonathan Lasken\, Senior Trial Counsel\, Federal Trade Commission\nChristina Mitropoulos\, Manager\, Brand Protection & Manufacturing Initiatives\, American Apparel and Footwear Association\nCheryl Wang\, Counsel\, IP & Brand Enforcement\, David Yurman Enterprises LLC\n\nTuesday\, February 9 | 12:00 – 1:00 pm ET\nCutting Strings and Starting Anew:  Termination and Force Majeure Clauses\nThe first days of the pandemic\, lawyers were focused on force majeure clauses and how relationships could be instantly terminated using the pandemic as an excuse.  We are now almost a year into the pandemic\, and business relationships are still unstable.  Our panelists will explore how various business relationships have been impacted\, and will provide a general discussion of pending litigation addressing termination issues\, from licensing to commercial leases. \n\nModerator: Maria Vathis\, Of Counsel\, Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner LLP\nAnuj Kumar\, Founder & Editor in Chief\, Legal Desire\nDanielle C. Lesser\, Partner & Chair\, Business Litigation\, Morrison Cohen LLP\nBen Van Peperstraete\, Senior Legal Advisor\, European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights\n\nWednesday\, February 10 | 12:00 – 1:00 pm ET\nCustoms and Trade in 2021: China and Section 301 Tariffs\, Forced Labor\, USMCA\, Covid-19\, and the Biden Administration. What does the Future Hold?\nThis panel will include attorneys and fashion industry representatives discussing what they can expect with the new Biden Presidency\, USMCA\, and the ongoing trade war with China. What can the Fashion Industry expect to change in 2021 from and what will remain the same? What opportunities for tariff and duty reduction are on the horizon?  Panelists will also break down any expected trade benefits as a consequence of the new administration.  We will also discuss how U.S. and foreign companies should continue to prepare for the impacts of Covid-19 and what effect it will have on the import and export of goods in the U.S. \n\nModerator: Frances Hadfield\, Counsel – International Trade\, Crowell & Moring LLP\nMichael Khorsandi\, Vice President\, Trade and Regulatory Counsel\, Ross Stores\, Inc.\nWilliam (Randy) Rucker\, Partner\, Faegre Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP\n\nThursday\, February 11 | 12:00 – 1:00 pm ET\nMain Street Bankruptcies:  How to Navigate a Retailer’s Reorganization\n2020 has seen its share of bankruptcies in the fashion industry.  But while debtors might walk into court armed with counsel\, some creditors are caught by surprise as to how they should navigate the bankruptcy process.  Our panelists shed light on the complex world of bankruptcy law. \n\nModerator: Olivera Medenica\, Partner\, Dunnington Bartholow & Miller LLP\nJoseph T. Moldovan\, Partner & Chair\, Business Solutions\, Restructuring & Governance\, Morrison Cohen LLP\nAdine S.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Holocaust and the Rule of Law
DESCRIPTION:Michael Taylor participated in the French Resistance and the Polish Refugee Resistance during World War II. He will speak about how the Holocaust came about within the rule of law as well as his role as a French Resistance and Polish Refugee Resistance fighter.    \nPresented by the International Law Section and Senior Lawyers Division  \nRegistration for this event is now closed. \n\nAbout the Presenters:\nMichael Taylor\, WWII Veteran\, French Resistance and Polish Refugee Resistance Fighter  \nMichael fought in the Polish Refugee Army\, French Resistance\, American\, and French World War II armies. After the Allies liberated France\, he visited Patton’s Rainbow Brigade\, which liberated Dachau and Buchenwald in Germany. Following the war\, he acquired four very rare legal certificates to take his three surviving sisters\, all under the age of 12\, with him to lead new lives in Palestine on a ship of 1000 refugees\, including Dr Ruth. Michael’s sisters had survived separately in Vichy\, France thanks in part to being hidden in a Catholic grade school\, aided by future Mime Marcel Marceau. \nUpon arriving in Israel\, Michael joined the elite Givati Reprisal Brigade. As a trained machine gunner\, he helped Israel attain independence. This took 9 months\, and 10 percent of Jews were killed. The Tzeuchneider (pron. Tuchschneider) family had all their property stolen from Belgium except rare photos\, which are included in today’s power point presentation\, along with family and archival military photos. \nMichael met his wife\, Rita\, when she came as tourist in 1952 to his Tel Aviv Main Street magazine store. They married after one month and communicated in Yiddish. Rita’s family members were socialist refugees from Tsarist Russia who had fled the 1905 pogrom. Michael’s family had fled similar murderous pogroms in Warsaw in 1924 and traveled across Europe\, spending ten peaceful years as religious Jews in Brussels. \nAlthough married and an American veteran\, Michael was not issued a visa during the Cold War to join his wife until he translated his Polish name Tzeuchneider to Taylor at the advice of Rita’s cousin working at the State Department. \nMichael now tells his story through lectures and webinars with his son\, Shannon. \nShannon Taylor\, Son to Michael Taylor \nShannon was born in 1955. He graduated Tufts University magna cum laude in 1976. He has practiced law since graduating Temple Law with Hebrew University Law in 1979. Shannon was a civil and criminal trial lawyer in New York City and Hackensack. \nHe is published\, has lectured for over thirty-five years\, and led a decade of 92nd Street Y tours at most of NYC’s private university and entertainment clubs. He is an award-winning photojournalist\, solarian\, percussionist and mineralogist. \nShannon has hosted a weekly prime time TV interview and commentary with his father called “The Conversation” for the past ten years. FBA Senior Lawyer Section Chair Steven Miller and many distinguished jurists\, refugees\, emigres\, entertainers\, authors\, political figures\, and scholars have all been guests. \n\nRegistration\nRegistration for this event is now closed. \nRegistration Fees \n\nFBA Member: $0\nAmerican Association of Jewish Lawyers and Jurists: $10\nNonmember: $75\n\nLive Captioning\nShould you request live captioning or another accommodation in order to participate in this webinar\, please contact meetings@fedbar.org at least 10 days before the event so we may make the necessary arrangements. \nCancellation Policy\nNo refunds will be made for cancellations received after the close of business on November 19\, 2020.

CITGO had a permit from the U.S. Corp of Engineers for a ship berth alongside the refinery. When the ATHOS I was in Federal Anchorage No. 9\, which adjoined CITGO’s berth\, it struck an uncharted/unknown/undetected object later discovered to be an anchor used by dredges to weigh down dredging pipes. The anchor ripped open the ship’s single hull and spilled heavy crude into the Delaware River\, resulting in the second largest ship-related oil spill in U.S. waters\, behind the Exxon Valdez. This is the story of that debacle\, which lasted from 2004 to 2020\, winding its way through Venezuela\, Greece\, Houston\, Philadelphia\, two trials with two different judges in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania\, two appeals to the Third Circuit\, a writ denied and a writ granted by the U.S. Supreme Court\, and oral argument in\, and a decision by\, the Supreme Court. \nMuch has been written about the legal aspects and issues surrounding this case\, so presenter\, Derek A. Walker\, Esq. with Chaffe McCall\, L.L.P.\, who was directly involved as counsel of record\, will share the facts\, evolution of the case\, strategies\, frustrations\, experiences\, anecdotes\, and memories – a gumbo of “war stories” and insights. \n\nAbout the Presenters\nDerek A.
