SUMMARY:Webinar: Women in the Judiciary - Working Toward Gender Equality in Public Life
DESCRIPTION:FBA’s Official Parallel Program at the NGO CSW67 Forum during the UN’s 67th Meeting of the Commission on the Status of Women \nThis event demonstrates the role that women play in the judiciary and how gender equality strengthens accountability across and within governmental bodies. With presentations by multiple federal judges in the U.S.\, we’ll explore how a justice system can strive for gender-balanced representation in decision-making positions in public life by encouraging greater participation of women in government at all levels\, as well as in judiciaries and other public institutions. The program will highlight recent public-private initiatives to pair former law clerks with law students\, including international LLM law students\, in a model judicial academy program in the service of improving gender equality in public employment\, and explore how such programs strengthen both domestic and international co-operation through continuously sharing knowledge\, lessons learned and good practices on gender equality and mainstreaming initiatives in public institutions. \nRegistration is Closed \n\nPresenters\nIntroduction – Mimi Tsankov\, President\, National Association of Immigration Judges \nMimi Tsankov is the President of the National Association of Immigration Judges.

SUMMARY:Qui Tam Section: [VIRTUAL] Causation Conundrums in Kickback-Focused FCA Cases
DESCRIPTION:**Program hosted in (ET) time zone** \nThis roundtable will look at cases like the Third Circuit’s Greenfield decision — and those applying that decision — and see how the courts have handled defendants’ efforts to hold relators / the government to but-for and proximate causation standards at the pleading\, SJ\, and trial stages\, and the reasons why relators / the government have pressed for somewhat lower standards. \nThe panel will discuss what Congress was doing when it amended the Anti-Kickback Statue (AKS) in the ACA (to state that a claim “resulting from” an AKS violation is a false claims for FCA purposes)\, as well as the various other causation issues that pop up in AKS-premised cases (as well as FCA cases more broadly). \nThe panel will also look into how the federal courts have applied similar (or arguably similar) causation language in other contexts (e.g.\, the Westfall Act\, RICO\, etc.). \nRegistration is Closed \n\nAbout the Presenters\nJohn D.

SUMMARY:Southern District of Illinois Chapter: 2023 Women in the Law Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Women who work in the legal profession often face unique challenges and obstacles. The Southern District of Illinois chapter of the Federal Bar Association is dedicated to facilitating necessary conversations to expose the imbalance placed on women in the legal profession and to tell the story of women who have overcome significant hurdles to serve as leaders in the law throughout the federal bar. Join us as we look back at the inspiring paths several women in our legal community have taken and forward to the work that still lies ahead. \nOur featured speaker will be the Honorable Tammy Duckworth\, United States Senator for Illinois.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Evaluating and Preparing Successful Qui Tam Actions from Intake to Filing
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will provide a comprehensive overview from evaluating potential qui tam actions at intake to the steps necessary to prepare a case for filing. Initially\, we will examine the legal\, evidentiary\, and practical issues and factors the relator’s counsel should consider before filing a case. Then\, upon determining to file\, we will discuss how relator’s counsel can put together an effective Disclosure Statement and complaint; one that will not only get the government’s attention but dramatically increase the likelihood of intervention. Historically\, the government intervenes in only ~20% of all filed cases. Further\, and most importantly\, when the government decides to intervene\, the likelihood of successfully resolving the case is ~90%. Thus\, an experienced and successful relator’s counsel evaluates and assesses cases based on multiple factors\, many of which are the same as what the government uses when making intervention decisions. Also\, when deciding to file\, the experienced and successful relator’s counsel prepares the way forward by making informed strategic decisions and following through on the corresponding steps that can\, and will\, have a critical impact on the success or failure of the case. This webinar will take a deep dive into these issues\, and attendees will leave with a better understanding of how to properly assess a case\, determine when to move forward\, and what they need to be successful in securing government intervention. \nPresented by sponsor Morgan & Morgan \n\nAbout the Presenters\n\n\n\n\nClark Bolton\, Attorney\, Morgan & Morgan\nClark Bolton brings unique insight and skills to his law practice.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Confidentiality in Mediating Federal Administrative Law Cases
DESCRIPTION:Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) reference materials often cite “confidentiality” as a critical feature of ADR processes.  Confidentiality encourages candid discussions that open the door to negotiated resolutions-  but when ADR programs and neutrals promise confidentiality\, they must know the bounds of their promise under the law and applicable ADR agreements.  This presentation will review statutes\, caselaw\, and ADR agreements so mediators don’t promise more confidentiality than they can deliver.  The program will focus on federal administrative cases with an emphasis on FAA issues\, but will be useful to practitioners in all fields. \n  \nPresented by the Alternative Dispute Resolution Section & Transportation & Transportaion Law Section \n  \nRegistration is Closed \n\nPresenters\nIntroduction & Q&A – James Downey\, Chair\, ADR Section\n \nJames Downey is an Attorney/Advisor for the Department of the Army.

He has completed various ADR certificate trainings at among other places: Harvard Law School and the Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute. He is an instructor in mediation with Quabbin Mediation in Orange\, MA and a member of the Massachusetts Bar. He is a member of the Town of Braintree’s Planning Board and the American Legion Post 86. \nJudge John A. Dietrich\, Director and Chief Administrative Judge\, Office of Adjudication/Office of Dispute Resolution for Acquisition & Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)\n \nJohn Dietrich is an attorney and mediator with a wide range of experience in federal acquisition\, workplace disputes\, aviation enforcement\, and environmental law.  He currently leads FAA Office of Adjudication\, which adjudicates and mediates civil penalty appeals\, other enforcement cases\, contract claims\, and bid protests.  Before joining FAA\, he served in several civilian positions for the Department of the Navy.  These included serving as a Senior Trial Attorney in the Navy Litigation Office and later as the Assistant General Counsel (ADR).  For several years he has been an author and active speaker on ADR matters.  He has served in leadership positions for the Interagency ADR Working Group\, the ADR Committee of the American Bar Association’s Section of Public Contract Law\, and the National Conference of Administrative Law Judiciary. \n\nRegistration\nRegistration is Closed \nRegistration Fees \n\nFBA Member: $0\nGovernment Employees: $0\nNonmember: $75\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLive Captioning: Closed captioning is available for all virtual webcasts. \n\n\nInternet Requirements: Virtual programs require suitable internet strength to stream online panels.

SUMMARY:Qui Tam Section: [VIRTUAL] The FCA Beyond Healthcare - New Military Spending
DESCRIPTION:As of December 2022\, the Council of Foreign Relations reports that the United States of America has sent 12.7 billion worth of equipment and weapons to Ukraine to aid in their efforts to repel the invasion by Russia. All those munitions were either pulled from existing military stockpiles\, in which case they will need to be replaced\, or were manufactured expressly to be sent to Ukraine. While this is a fraction of the roughly 900 billion spent on health care it represents a significant increase in government spending on military. Those of us that have been doing the work know greed often fuels fraud\, and fraud follows money. In the coming years as the Federal Government increases its military spending our Bar can expect to see more cases brought by relators against government military contractors\, which will in turn create more work for the defense bar defending these cases. \nThis panel consist of an experienced Department of Defense OIG Investigator\, lawyers representing the Defense\, Relator and the Government. The moderator is a former United States Attorney. The panel is certain to provide a witty\, insightful\, informative\, fun discussion of an area of false claims that is certain to see growth in the years ahead. \n[Register Online] \n\nAbout the Presenters\nBart Daniel\, Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough LLP \n  \n  \n  \n  \n \nJames Leventis\, U.S. Attorney’s Office\, District of South Carolina \n  \n  \n  \n  \nBill Nettles\, Law Office of Bill Nettles \n  \n  \n  \n  \nGil Rosen\, Department of Defense \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nFran Trapp\, Law Office of Bill Nettles \n\nRegistration\n[Register Online] \n\nFBA Members: $0\nNon-Members: $0\n\n\nCLE\nPlease note that CLE credit is not offered for this webinar. \n\nEmail Communication Policy \nBy registering for this event\, you agree to receive email communications from the Federal Bar Association and affiliated sponsors of the program concerning event details\, Continuing Legal Education certification\, programming changes\, upcoming events\, surveys\, and post-event communications. \nRecording Disclaimer \nBy registering for an FBA webinar\, you agree to the recording of audio and visual content presented during the live event and consent to subsequent use of the recording by the FBA.

SUMMARY:Webinar:  The Future of Attorney-Client Privilege for In-House Counsel in the U.S.
DESCRIPTION:Although many lawyers assume that communications with clients are privileged\, exceptions to attorney-client privilege make certain categories of otherwise privileged communications discoverable. This presentation covers the attorney-client privilege under Model Rule of Professional Conduct 1.6 and two notable exceptions recognized by federal courts in employment litigation: the fiduciary exception in ERISA actions and reliance on attorney advice in asserting the good-faith defense in FLSA actions. Panelists will provide an overview of the attorney-client privilege and will discuss how federal courts apply these two exceptions in employment litigation. This presentation will also provide practical tips for asserting or challenging these two exceptions from the plaintiff and defendant standpoint. Lawyers will be able to (i) describe the two exceptions to the attorney-client privilege in employment litigation and articulate the logic behind these exceptions\, (ii) articulate when federal courts apply those exceptions\, and (iii) apply the ethics and caselaw surrounding these two exceptions into their employment litigation practice. \nPresented by the Federal Bar Association’s Labor and Employment Law Section and Corporate and Association Counsel Division. \n\nPresenters\nModerator: Lawson Fite\, Partner\, Marten Law\nLawson draws on a wealth of experience to address clients’ practical\, bottom-line business needs.
