SUMMARY:2023 Indian Law Conference
DESCRIPTION:Empowering Indian Country Through Action\nIn the past year\, Tribes have faced extreme highs and lows engaging in government-to-government relations at every level. As more critical issues come before the courts\, it is essential that Indigenous Law practitioners are at the ready to protect the rights of Tribal nations\, members\, and lands.

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.
