SUMMARY:Dayton Chapter: Ethical Responsibilities in Representing Corporate Clients
DESCRIPTION:While many lawyers represent organizations or are engaged in litigation with organizations\, these engagements raise unique ethical issues. Fundamentally\, who is your client? From whom can you take direction? With whom are you allowed to speak? What are your obligations in communicating with former employees of an entity that has counsel? What are you able to do when your client has problems in jurisdictions where you are not admitted to practice? We will discuss these issues in our presentation\, “Ethical Responsibilities in Representing Corporate Clients.” \nSpeaker\nDan Gentry\, Esq.\, Attorney\, President\, and CEO of Coolidge Wall Co.\, L.P.A. \nAs a member of the litigation department\, Dan focuses his practice on business and employment litigation and dispute resolution. He has handled a variety of business disputes\, discrimination and harassment claims\, non-competition and trade secret litigation\, tort litigation\, and other disputes arising from business operations and transactions. Dan has tried cases to judges and juries in Ohio courts\, advocated before Ohio courts of appeal and administrative agencies\, and represented clients in mediations and arbitrations. Most recently before joining the firm\, Dan served as in-house counsel to a local high-tech R&D company. He has also provided training to young lawyers and addressed local business organizations on topics of interest related to business disputes. \nRegistration\nRegistration Deadline May 8\, 2023\nSpace is limited; attendees must register. RSVP Here! \nRegistration Fee: \n\nFree – FBA Member\n$50 – Non Member\n\nCLE\n1.0 CLE Hours Anticipated. \nIf you have any questions regarding this program\, please contact Michael Mayer at  MichaelMayer@ohsd.uscourts.gov. \n

SUMMARY:Webinar: Rebuilding Lives: The Legal Community’s Role in Supporting Afghan Refugee-Lawyers in the United States
DESCRIPTION:Presented by the Federal Bar Association’s Diversity and Inclusion Committee \nMore than a year after the United States withdrew from Afghanistan\, about 88\,500 Afghans have resettled across this country.  Refugees require support on many different levels—evacuation\, immigration assistance\, and resettlement.  Among the many who have resettled here are lawyers and judges from Afghanistan whose human rights and rule of law work – or whose very existence as a symbol of women’s equality – put their lives at risk.  These professionals face a daunting task rebuilding their lives and livelihoods in a foreign place.  What role does our legal community have in supporting this transition?  Why should lawyers and judges get involved\, and what can we do to help?  Through this one-hour presentation\, you will learn why this work matters\, meet an Afghan refugee-lawyer now employed as a paralegal\, and hear about a project started by the South Asian Bar Association of San Diego.  Attendees will leave with a clearer sense of the refugee experience and what they personally can do to effect change. \n\nPresenters\nModerator: Alejandro Del Carmen\, Ph.D.\, Tarleton State University (a member of the Texas A&M University System)  \nAlejandro (Alex) del Carmen migrated to the United States as a refugee from war-torn Nicaragua at the age of 12.  He received a Ph.D. in Criminology from the College of Criminology at the Florida State University.

SUMMARY:Qui Tam Section: [VIRTUAL] The Significance of SuperValu
DESCRIPTION:**Program hosted in (ET) time zone** \nOn April 18\, 2023\, the United States Supreme Court heard oral argument in U.S. ex rel. Schutte v. Supervalu\, Inc.\, 9 F.4th 455 (7th Cir. 2021). Circuit courts disagree over how the FCA’s scienter requirement works in cases in which the defendant’s claims are false because the defendant violated an ambiguous legal requirement. This roundtable will explore the current standard for knowledge under the FCA\, and whether and how Supervalu may change that standard. It will discuss the arguments presented to the Supreme Court\, in both the briefing and during oral argument. Should a decision be reached prior to this roundtable\, the roundtable will provide an in-depth analysis of Supervalu. \n[Register Online] \n\nAbout the Presenters\nSara Vann\, Medicaid Fraud Division\, Office of the Georgia Attorney General \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nJohn P.
