Abudu\, Judge\, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit \nNancy G. Abudu was confirmed as a Circuit Judge for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit in May 2023. She is based in Atlanta\, Georgia. \nPrior to her appointment\, Abudu was a lawyer with the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) where she served as the organization’s first-ever Deputy Legal Director for Voting Rights\, and then SPLC’s first Director of Strategic Litigation. Her responsibilities included overseeing all the organization’s legal programmatic work which\, in addition to voting rights\, included immigrants’ rights\, criminal justice reform\, children’s rights\, LGBTQ rights\, and special litigation related to hate groups. \nAbudu also spent almost 14 years with the American Civil Liberties Union\, first as a voting rights attorney with the national office and then as the legal director for the Florida affiliate. Her experience also includes being an associate with Skadden\, Arps\, Slate\, Meagher & Flom LLP in the firm’s New York office and working in the Eleventh Circuit’s staff attorney office early on in her career. \nHer civic activities have included serving on the Standing Committee on Election Law for the American Bar Association\, the ABA’s Taskforce on Building Public Trust in the American Justice System\, and the Advisory Committee for the National Voting Rights Institute\, as well as co- chairing the Georgia Association of Black Women Attorneys’ political participation committee and serving on the board of the Georgia Citizen’s Coalition on Hunger. \n \n\n\nDr. Clayborne Carson\, Professor of History\, emeritus\, Stanford University \nClayborne Carson\, Ph.D. is Martin Luther King\, Jr. Centennial Professor Emeritus and Senior Fellow\, Stanford’s Center on Democracy\, Development and the Rule of Law of the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies\, Stanford University. \nDr. Carson has devoted most of his professional life to the study of Martin Luther King\, Jr. and the movements King inspired. Since receiving his doctorate from UCLA in 1975\, Dr. Carson has taught at Stanford University\, where he has served as Martin Luther King\, Jr.\, Centennial Professor of History (now Emeritus). He has devoted his professional life to the study of Martin Luther King\, Jr.\, and the human rights movements inspired by King\, Mohandas K. Gandhi\, and other visionaries. \nHis award-winning first book\, In Struggle: SNCC and the Black Awakening of the 1960s\, was published in 1981 and remains the definitive study of the courageous activists and organizers who challenged the strongholds of segregation. In 1985\, Mrs. Coretta Scott King chose Dr. Carson to edit and publish a definitive\, multi-volume edition of her late husband’s speeches\, sermons\, correspondence\, publications\, and unpublished writings. \nIn addition to publishing numerous other books and scholarly articles\, Carson has also reached broader audiences as a senior advisor to the Eyes on the Prize series and his contributions to more than two dozen subsequent documentaries. After launching the online Liberation Curriculum for K-12 students\, Carson founded Stanford’s Martin Luther King\, Jr.\, Research and Education Institute in 2005 to disseminate King-related educational resources to a global audience. \nAfter retiring as the King Institute’s Director\, Carson has continued his online educational efforts by establishing The World House Project to collaborate with other human rights advocates to realize King’s vision of a global community in which all people can “learn somehow to live with each other in peace.” \n  \n \n\n\nSenator Doug Jones\, Counsel\, ArentFox Schiff\n \nIn 2017\, Doug Jones shocked the political establishment by winning a special election to fill a U.S. Senate seat in Alabama – the first Democrat to do so in the state in 25 years. As a member of the Banking and Housing Committee\, the Health\, Education\, Labor\, and Pensions (HELP) Committee\, the Armed Services Committee\, the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee\, and the Committee on Aging\, he quickly built a reputation as a well-regarded and effective legislator. He passed more than two dozen bipartisan bills into law in just three years\, including legislation to end the military widow’s tax\, provide permanent funding for historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs)\, shed light on Civil Rights-era cold cases\, and expand access to broadband in rural communities. He was also one of the principal architects of the anti-money laundering legislation passed by Congress as part of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2020. \nSenator Jones began his career in 1979 as staff counsel to the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee for Senator Howell Heflin (D-AL). Following his stint in Washington\, Senator Jones served as an Assistant United States Attorney from 1980-1984. He left government service in 1984 and was in the private practice of law in Birmingham\, Alabama\, until President Bill Clinton nominated him to the position of United States Attorney for the Northern District of Alabama. His nomination was confirmed by the Senate in November 1997 and he served as U.S. Attorney until June 2001. It was while serving in that position that Senator Jones successfully prosecuted two of the four men responsible for the 1963 bombing of the 16th Street Baptist Church that killed four young girls\, finally bringing full justice and closure nearly 40 years after the attack. Along with taking on the Ku Klux Klan\, he indicted domestic terrorist Eric Rudolph and prosecuted other criminals who sought to use fear\, hatred\, and violence to inhibit the rights of others. \nJones continued his push for civil rights while in the Senate.  He was the principal author of the Civil Rights Cold Case Commission Act which was signed into law and now fully operational.  He was also a co-sponsor of the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act\, the Equality Act\, the Fair Pay Act and the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act.  Harkening back to the civil rights history in Birmingham\, Senator Jones started the annual tradition of having a bipartisan group of Senators read Dr. King’s “Letter from a Birmingham Jail” on floor of the United States Senate.  He has received numerous awards and honors for his work on civil rights. \nBetween his time as U.S. Attorney and his election to the Senate\, Senator Jones was in the private practice of law\, handling white collar\, False Claims Act\, and security fraud class actions. He has represented multinational corporations\, small businesses\, and individuals in high-stakes civil and criminal litigation. \nSenator Jones is admitted to\, and practices law in\, Alabama. His office address is 2130 Highland Ave.\, 3rd Floor\, Birmingham\, AL 35205. \n\n\nAbout the Moderator\n\n\n \n\nDon Quinn\, Managing Partner\, Quinn Patton \nDon is a graduate of Harvard University\, the University of Missouri\, and Washington State University. He has 20 years of business leadership experience\, is a combat veteran and 32nd Degree Mason. His favorite part of being a lawyer is going to trial and representing clients in cases against some of the most prominent organizations in the world. \n  \n\n\nRegister Here!\n\nLive Broadcast | FBA Member: $0\nLive Broadcast | Nonmember: $95\nOn-Demand Broadcast | FBA Member: $50\nOn-Demand Broadcast | Nonmember: $95\n\nFor questions regarding this program\, please contact MyLaw CLE by email: registration@mylawcle.com or phone: 877-406-8636.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCLE\nPlease note: CLE for this webinar has not been pre-approved.\nMyLaw and the FBA will seek 1.0 General CLE credit hours in 60-minute states\, and 1.25 General CLE credit hours in 50-minute states. \nPosted credit hours are estimated and subject to respective state approval and rounding rules.
