Since then\, lower courts have varied in their approaches to the issue: one court described continued government payment as a permissible way for the government to keep “offering the carrot before wielding the stick\,” while another said it is a “steadily tightening bind that at some point becomes disabling\,” a “burden\, growing incrementally more formidable each day” until it becomes “insurmountable.” This panel discussion will explore when and how the issue of continued government payment arises in FCA cases\, how courts have analyzed and ruled on the issue since Escobar\, and how continued government payment can impact the way parties investigate and litigate FCA cases. \n[Register Online] \n\nAbout the Presenters\nLon Leavitt\, U.S. Attorney’s Office\, District of Arizona (Moderator) \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nSara McLean\, U.S. Department of Justice \n  \n  \n  \nLisa M.

Mr. Jacobs will discuss the approaches an attorney may pursue in Patent litigation and other Science Based cases. In patent cases\, trials were often handled by litigation attorneys in the beginning and only after creation of the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit did cases begin to be handled by science-educated attorneys.  Mr. Jacobs saw cases where each side had well qualified experts and rarely was there a “Daubert” challenge. Rather experts were challenged on their scientific analyses. Mr. Michel’s experience is quite different\, and his cases involved frequent “Daubert’ challenge for a variety of strategic reasons\, particularly challenges to quasi-scientific\, social science\, and non-scientific experts.  How to use the economic analysis of the other side to help you select one or more experts\, and why you might hire more than one will be discussed. Also\, the difference between testifying experts and consulting experts will be explored\, along with the strategy of when and why to employ them. \nPresented by the Senior Lawyers Division and the Younger Lawyers Division. \n\nAbout the Presenters\nAlbert Jacobs\, Jr.\, Chair of Senior Lawyer’s Division of the FBA\, Albert Jacobs PLLC\nWith more than 40 years of experience in every phase of Patent Law\, Mr. Jacobs has spent the last 30 years litigating Biotech\, Pharmaceutical\, and Medical Device Patents\, for multinational companies both before the Federal District Courts\, the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC) and the International Trade Commission (ITC).

Indian Law Conference (Hybrid) DESCRIPTION:Join the Indian Law Section for its Annual DC Indian Law Conference on Friday\, November 3. This year’s hybrid program offers in-person or online viewing options for registered attendees. \nThe year 2023 marks the 200th anniversary of the United States Supreme Court’s ruling in Johnson v. McIntosh\, a decision with harmful and lasting consequences for tribal nations and the development of federal Indian policy.  Against this backdrop\, the 2023 D.C. Indian Law Conference will examine a range of contemporary challenges facing Indian country relating to natural resources\, economic development\, child welfare\, implementation of developing technologies\, equity and inclusion initiatives\, and more. Our panels will feature leading tribal advocates and indigenous law practitioners who are at the forefront of tackling these issues in the courts\, federal and state legislatures\, and administrative agencies. Join fellow experts and colleagues to discuss these critical issues and what challenges may lie ahead for tribal nations and their citizens. \nCo-Hosted by the Indian Law Section \n\nAgenda\nAll times listed as Eastern. Schedule subject to change. \n9:30 a.m. – 10:45 a.m. | The Good\, the Bad\, and the Ugly: Reviewing Recent Significant Indian Law Decisions\nThe year 2023 has provided a number of critical developments in the courts for tribal nations and their citizens. In the 2022-2023 term\, the U.S. Supreme Court issued several decisions directly impacting Indian country. Panelists will cover two of those decisions – Arizona v. Navajo Nation\, which opined on the United States’ trust obligations in connection with Navajo water rights\, and Lac du Flambeau v. Coughlin\, which addressed whether Congress abrogated tribal sovereign immunity in federal bankruptcy law. The panel will also include discussion on the D.C. Circuit’s decision in the West Flagler Associates v. Haaland case and related litigation that could have significant impacts for the future of tribal-state gaming compacts and the integration of Indian gaming and online activity. Litigators from all these matters will be on hand to review the developments arising out of these cases\, and how they may alter the legal landscape for Indian country. \n\nModerator: Jens Camp\, Associate Attorney\, Hobbs\, Straus\, Dean & Walker\, LLP\nPratik Shah\, Partner\, Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP\nJoseph Webster\, Partner\, Hobbs Straus\nJennifer Weddle\, Co-Chair\, American Indian Law Practice\, Greenberg Traurig LLP\n\n10:45 a.m. – 11:15 a.m. | Break \n11:15 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. | The Fight for Equity in Indian Country \nThe fight for full equality for American Indians and Alaska Natives is an ongoing and ever-evolving effort. Panelists will offer insights on current federal law\, litigation\, and policy initiatives to address economic\, educational\, and health disparities in Indian Country. The panel will include presentations addressing the following areas: legal avenues and barriers to advocating for civil rights for Native Americans\, including through asserting religious freedoms and voting rights. In addition\, American Indians and Alaska Natives continue to face significant inequity in health care access and health status; the panel will discuss these inequities and efforts to address them through legal and policy avenues\, particularly when it comes to urban Native populations. Finally\, the panel will conclude with discussions on the Biden Administration’s efforts to address disparities in Indian country and other forward-facing initiatives\, such as the Indigenous Food Hub initiative. \n\nModerator: Jared Crum\, Trial Attorney\, Environment and Natural Resouces Section\, U.S. Department of Justice\nFrancys Crevier\, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) National Council of Urban Indian Health\nMorgan Rodman\, Executive Director\, White House Council on Native American Affairs\nMorgan Saunders\, Staff Attorney\, Native American Rights Fund (NARF)\n\n12:30 p.m. – 1:45 p.m. | Keynote Luncheon \n\nElizabeth Reese\, Senior Policy Advisor for Native Affairs\, Domestic Policy Council\, The White House\n\n1:45 p.m. – 2:45 p.m. | A Post-Brackeen Look at ICWA and Child Welfare in Indian Country\nThis panel will revisit the landmark win for tribal sovereignty in Brackeen v. Haaland and what lies ahead for addressing child welfare issues in Indian country. The panel will analyze the Supreme Court’s decision in Brackeen\, where it upheld the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA)\, a more than forty year old federal law\, against several constitutional challenges. Looking beyond the decision\, discussions will include the next steps in advancing the broader purpose of ICWA – “to protect the best interests of Indian children and to promote the stability and security of Indian tribes and families.” In addition\, the panel will address\, from the perspective of a Tribal Prosecutor\, the alarming rates of child sexual abuse in Indian Country and the current issues Tribal Prosecutors are facing when it comes to protecting Native children in the face of complex jurisdictional schemes. \n\nModerator: Julia Giffin\, Attorney Advisor\, Office of Tribal Justice\, U.S. Department of Justice\nMeghan Bishop\, Policy Specialist – IPA\, Office of the Assistant Secretary Indian Affairs\, U.S. Department of the Interior\nTamera Begay\, Attorney-Advisor\, U.S. Department of Justice\nLeonard Powell\, Attorney\, Jenner & Block LLP\n\n2:45 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. | Break \n3:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. | Hot Topics in Indian Country\nThere is seemingly never a shortage of new legal and policy issues challenging tribal governments and their citizens. This panel will explore two developing issues that pose a number of important legal and policy considerations for tribes: (1) the proliferation of offshore wind installations on the Outer Continental Shelf to source clean\, renewable energy\, and (2) the deployment of artificial intelligence across a range of applications within Indian country. With regard to offshore wind\, the panel will discuss the current Administration’s policy goals and approach for permitting offshore wind projects\, including key points of concern around agency consultation practices with tribal nations and tribal historic preservation officers\, agency compliance with the obligations of Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act\, and wind farm impacts on tribal lands and culturally significant sites outside Indian country. As to AI\, the panel will look at how tribal lands offer unique opportunities and challenges for AI deployment and also considerations for developing responsible AI use principles within Indian country as a critical concern in the Indigenous Data Sovereignty movement. \n\nModerator: Amber Holland\, Attorney\, Big Fire Law & Policy Group LLP\nAdam Crepelle\, Assistant Professor\, Loyola University Chicago School of Law\nLael Echo-Hawk\, Principal\, MThirtySix\n\n4:00 p.m. – 4:15 p.m. | Break \n4:15 p.m. – 5:30 p.m. | [Ethics] Facing Primary and Secondary Traumas in Lawyering in Indian Country \nTraumas of the past and present can arise in many facets of legal and policy advocacy in Indian country. The panel will include presentations on the Department of the Interior’s Federal Indian Boarding School Initiative\, an effort to address the troubled legacy of federal Indian boarding school policies and the corresponding intergenerational impact and traumas associated with these policies\, and the all-of-goverment approach to addressing the crisis and traumas associated with the unfortunate reality that American Indian and Alaska Native people are at a disproportionate risk of experiencing violence\, murder\, or going missing. In addition\, those who advocate on behalf of Tribes often have to navigate complex histories and ongoing disparities; the panel will also address this in the context of tribes in Maine and concerns around their settlement acts and relationships with the Maine state government. Finally\, the panel will discuss how to exercise trauma-informed lawyering and how practitioners can navigate primary and secondary traumas in legal and policy advocacy.\n> Session Sponsored by Dentons US LLP. \n\nModerator: Maurisa Bell\, Associate Attorney\, Patterson Earnhart Real Bird & Wilson LLP\nDeeya Haldar\, Associate Professor of Law and Director of the Civil Justice Clinic\, Villanova University\nMichael-Corey Hinton\, Attorney\, Drummond Woodsum\nHeidi Todacheene\, Senior Advisor to the Secretary\, U.S. Department of the Interior\n\n6:00 pm – 7:00 pm\nHappy Hour at Courthaus Social (2300 Clarendon Blvd)\nHosted by Native American Bar Association of D.C. \n\nRegistration\nAdvance online registration is now closed.\nOnsite registration is available for in-person participation at the registration desk on Friday\, November 3. \nThis year’s hybrid program offers in-person or online viewing options for registered attendees. \n\n[ONSITE] Sustaining Member $250\n[ONSITE] Member $260\n[ONSITE] Nonmember $435\n[ONSITE] Government/Academic $210\n[ONSITE] Law Student $95\n\nGroup Registrations: Organizations can process group registrations with one payment using the linked Register Online text above.
