SUMMARY:Webinar: The New Biden Antitrust Regime
DESCRIPTION:With new aggressive enforcers at both DOJ and FTC\, the Biden Administration has changed many antitrust priorities. An interactive exchange between moderator and panelists will cover criminal\, civil\, and legislative initiatives. New criminal prosecutions of no poach/wage fix agreements have been upheld under per se analysis but the first two trials resulted in acquittals. Both agencies continue litigation against Big Tech\, Google and Facebook specifically\, and support new legislation reigning in platforms. Pronouncements now criminalize monopolies. DOJ leniency policy is tweaked\, raising requirements\, and plea carve-ins of individuals are restricted. \nPresented by Antitrust & Trade Regulation Section \n\nAbout the Speakers\nLisa M. Phelan\, former Chief of the National Criminal Enforcement and Washington Criminal I Sections of the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ)\, is a partner and Co-Chair of Morrison & Foerster’s Global Antitrust Law Practice and Investigations + White Collar Group. With more than 25 years of service at the DOJ as one of the leading authorities in criminal antitrust matters\, Ms. Phelan draws upon her unmatched criminal investigations\, litigation\, and enforcement experience to guide clients through sensitive matters pertaining to international cartel actions and white collar investigations\, and to rapidly assess and address their total exposure to potential claims of unlawful collusion. \nAs Chief of the National Criminal Enforcement and Washington Criminal I Sections of the Antitrust Division\, Ms. Phelan supervised and coordinated all investigative and litigation work on international and national criminal cartel cases. Ms. Phelan regularly coordinated investigations and prosecutions with cartel enforcement agencies throughout the world\, including in the European Union\, Japan\, Mexico\, Korea\, the United Kingdom\, Australia\, New Zealand\, Chile\, and Brazil\, among others. She also regularly interfaced with other law enforcement units when investigations raised non-antitrust issues. \nWilliam Isaacson\, Partner\, Paul\, Weiss\, Rifkind\, Wharton & Garrison LLP \nBill Isaacson\, a partner in the Litigation Department\, is widely considered one of the most preeminent litigators of his generation. A Fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers\, Bill was named a “Litigator of the Year” in 2016 and a “Litigator of the Week” three times by The American Lawyer. Chambers has called Bill a “celebrated trial lawyer” who is “highly recommended for his work in complex class actions.” \nBill has tried cases in a number of areas\, including contract\, commercial torts\, copyright\, international arbitration and antitrust. In antitrust\, Bill has successfully represented both plaintiffs and defendants in major antitrust litigations; of the approximately dozen federal antitrust class actions that have gone to trial and judgment in this century\, he has tried five of them\, winning verdicts in each case. Global Competition Review has noted that “arguably no antitrust lawyer in recent memory has had as much success for both plaintiffs and defendants as Bill Isaacson.” Lawdragon writes that it is “nearly impossible to find a more reliable antitrust litigator than Isaacson\, who has successfully handled several of the most high-profile cases in the past two decades.” \nLeah Nylen\, Antitrust Reporter\, Bloomberg News  \nLeah Nylen has spent more than a decade covering antitrust\, currently as a reporter for Bloomberg News. A graduate of Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism\, she has previously worked for Politico\, MLex and Congressional Quarterly. \n\nRegistration\nRegistration Fees \nRegistration for this event is now closed. \n\nFBA Member: $0\nNonmember: $75\n\nLive Captioning: Closed captioning is available for all virtual webcasts. \nCancellation Policy: No refunds will be made for cancellations received after the close of business on March 18\, 2022.

SUMMARY:Webinar: A Practitioner’s Guide to Evaluating Wrongful/Reversed Conviction Claims
DESCRIPTION:Joel Rudin\, a criminal defense attorney\, and Jabbar Collins\, then a State inmate\, met in 2002 while Jabbar was incarcerated in Greenhaven Correctional Facility serving a 34 years to life sentence for a murder he steadfastly claimed he did not commit.  At the time\, Jabbar was a quintessential jailhouse lawyer\, helping numerous other inmates and winning several their release\, but he let Joel know he was not yet ready to discuss his own conviction.  A few years later\, after completing his reinvestigation of his own case from prison\, Jabbar was ready to discuss it\, having accumulated a remarkable array of evidence undermining every part of the case against him.  Together\, they overcame a denial of their motion to vacate Jabbar’s conviction in state court and\, after four years of litigation\, won an extraordinarily rare grant of federal habeas corpus relief under which any retrial in state court in Brooklyn\, NY\, was barred.  Thereafter Jabbar and Joel successfully litigated Jabbar’s claims for damages for unjust conviction in the NY Court of Claims and for violations of Jabbar’s federal constitutional rights in a federal Section 1983 civil rights action\, recovering a total settlement in the two cases of  $13 million.  But this story did not end with the $13 million settlement:  the Jabbar Collins story is still being written.  Along with the new head of the Brooklyn DA’s Conviction Review Unit\, Professor Collins is now teaching a course at St John’s Law School concerning wrongful convictions while applying for admission to law school.  Join us for a CLE on wrongful convictions from Attorney Rudin and Professor Jabbar Collins. \nPresented by:\nCivil Rights Law Section\n \nRegistration for this event is now closed. \n\nAbout the Presenters\nWylie M. Stecklow\, Wylie Stecklow PLLC (Moderator) \nWylie Stecklow is a civil rights attorney in downtown Manhattan. Mr. Stecklow is a past President of the Southern District of New York Chapter of the Federal Bar Association\, past National chair of its Civil Rights Law Section\, and is an adjunct Professor at Fordham Law School (his alma mater).  He is the 2021 recipient of the Sarah T. Hughes Civil Rights Award.   He is a founding member of the National Action Network’s Legal Rights Nights and for the past twenty years\, he has been litigating police policies and practice concerning the constitutional rights of protesters and photographers.  He has litigated 1983 cases involving First Amendment Rights in New York\, Maryland and Iowa and tried constitutional cases to verdict in various state and federal courts.  His firm was retained by the Occupy Wall Street General Assembly in 2011\, where he organized pro bono representation for over 200 Occupy arrestees and has continued to litigate civil rights claims relating to the policing of Occupy.   Currently he is co-counsel to two of the consolidated cases in the litigation in the SDNY\, In Re New York City Policing During Summer 2020 Demonstrations. \nJabbar Collins\, St. Johns Law School \nJabbar Collins is President of Horizon Research Services\, a consulting firm providing legal research and writing services to appellate and civil rights attorneys.  In 1994 Mr. Collins was wrongfully convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison.  He spent the next 16 years of his life there\, teaching himself appellate\, civil\, and post-conviction litigation.  While incarcerated\, Mr. Collins drafted scores of successful New York Freedom of Information law lawsuits\, won a federal habeas corpus petition raising complex ineffective assistance of trial and appellate counsel claims\, and was granted permission by two federal judges to orally argue cases on behalf of two prisoners he assisted.  In 2010\, Mr. Collins\, working with Joel B. Rudin\, who would later hire Mr. Collins as a paralegal\, won a rare unconditional writ of habeas corpus petition dismissing all charges based on egregious prosecutorial misconduct.  Mr. Collins and Mr. Rudin then sued the City and State\, exposing systemic misconduct in the Brooklyn DA’s Office and ultimately winning a $13 million dollar settlement\, at the time one of the highest settlements for a wrongful conviction in New York City history.  Mr. Collins’ legal work following his exoneration has resulted in five other wrongfully convicted men being freed after decades in prison.  Mr. Collins’ case also prompted former Brooklyn DA Ken Thompson to run for office and establish a Conviction Integrity Unit that to this day has freed 28 other wrongfully convicted men.  Mr. Collins is currently an adjunct professor at St. John’s Law School where along with the new Chief of the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Conviction Review Unit\, he teaches Justice Dissected: The Anatomy of a Wrongful Conviction. \n \nJoel B.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Just When I Thought I Was Out They Pull Me Back In! Will the Military Continue to Retain Courts-Martial Jurisdiction Over Retirees?
DESCRIPTION:For nearly 75 years\, military courts have squarely rejected challenges to the Uniform Code of Military Justice’s continued jurisdiction over certain retirees.  Two years ago\, University of Texas School of Law Professor Stephen Vladeck successfully convinced a judge of the D.C. District Court to find that courts-martial jurisdiction over retirees is unconstitutional.  Although the Supreme Court declined to hear Larrabee v. United States\, this issue is ripe for further scrutiny by lower courts.  This webinar will feature a discussion by Prof. Vladeck as to why military courts’ jurisdiction over retirees should end. \nPresented by:\nVeterans and Military Law Section\n \n\nAbout the Speaker\nProfessor Steve Vladeck\, Charles Alan Wright Chair in Federal Courts at the University of Texas School of Law \nStephen I. Vladeck  holds the Charles Alan Wright Chair in Federal Courts at the University of Texas School of Law and is a nationally recognized expert on the federal courts\, constitutional law\, national security law\, and military justice. Professor Vladeck has argued over a dozen cases before the U.S. Supreme Court\, the Texas Supreme Court\, and various lower federal civilian and military courts; has testified before numerous congressional committees and Executive Branch agencies and commissions; has served as an expert witness both in U.S. state and federal courts and in foreign tribunals; and has received numerous awards for his influential and widely cited legal scholarship\, his prolific popular writing\, his teaching\, and his service to the legal profession. \n\nRegistration\nRegistration for this event is now closed. \nRegistration Fees \n\nFBA Member: $0\nNonmember: $75\n\nLive Captioning: Closed captioning is available for all virtual webcasts. \nCancellation Policy: No refunds will be made for cancellations received after the close of business on March 16\, 2022.

SUMMARY:Dialogues on Racial Justice Series: U.S. Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall - The Life\, The Legend\, & The Legacy - In Honor of Black History Month
DESCRIPTION:As the nation looks toward its possible first African-American woman on the U.S. Supreme Court\, and as the Supreme Court’s docket includes a growing number of cases implicating social and racial justice\, the memory of Justice Thurgood Marshall – the first African-American ever to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court (1967-1991) – has never loomed larger.    \nA towering figure in civil rights and the law long before he became a U.S. Supreme Court Justice\, Marshall argued the momentous Brown v. Board of Education (1954)\, altering the landscape of U.S. society forever\, and was the chief architect of the legal strategy that ended the United States’ official policy of segregation.  His many “firsts” include: Founder and first Director-General of the NAACP Legal Defense & Educational Fund (1940-1961); first African-American on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit (1961-1965); and first African-American Solicitor General of the U.S. (1965-1967) – all before he joined the Court\, where he once described his judicial philosophy as “You do what you think is right and let the law catch up.”   \nCelebrate Black History Month 2022 with the FBA by joining some of Justice Marshall’s former law clerks (“knuckleheads\,” he called them) as they regale us with “war stories” from their time in the Justice’s Chambers and some of the many quips\, quotes\, and anecdotes that the colorful\, charming\, and witty larger-than-life Justice – a famed storyteller\, with a booming laugh – shared with them.  \nAn audience Q&A period will follow the law clerks’ presentations.  \nRegistration is Closed \nOfficial White House Announcement – On February 25\, 2022\, President Joe Biden nominated Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to become the 116th Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court. \n\nSpeakers\nRobert N. Weiner\nLaw Clerk for Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall\, 1978-1979\nSenior Counsel\, Arnold & Porter LLP \nSenior Legal Consultant\, Campaign Legal Center \n  \nRob Weiner has significant experience as a trial lawyer\, appellate advocate\, and legal strategist in complex litigation. He is skilled in developing creative legal approaches to bring cases to a quick\, cheap and successful resolution. Mr. Weiner’s long experience representing business and sovereign clients in litigation\, and his three tours of duty as a government lawyer\, have honed his ability to  deal with the regulatory\, tactical\, and constitutional issues arising when the federal government is\, or may become\, a party in litigation. From 2010-2012\, Mr. Weiner was Associate Deputy Attorney General at the US Department of Justice\, where his principal responsibility was to oversee the defense of the Affordable Care Act. He also handled sensitive negotiations with a foreign government involving bank secrecy\, and dealt with or headed-off difficult issues across the range of the Department’s matters. Mr. Weiner also has served as Senior Counsel in the White House Counsel’s Office\, and as an Associate Independent Counsel. He began his career as a law clerk for The Honorable Henry J. Friendly and for Justice Thurgood Marshall. \nProfessor Sheryll Cashin\nLaw Clerk for Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall\, 1990-1991\nGeorgetown University Law Center  \n\nSheryll Cashin is an author and the Carmack Waterhouse Professor of Law\, Civil Rights and Social Justice at Georgetown University. Currently she teaches Constitutional Law\, Race and American Law\, and a writing seminar about American segregation\, education and opportunity. \nHer new book — White Space\, Black ‘Hood: Opportunity Hoarding and Segregation in the Age of Inequality (forthcoming\, Beacon 2021) — is about the role of residential segregation in producing racial inequality. Her book\, Loving: Interracial Intimacy in America and the Threat to White Supremacy (Beacon\, 2017)\, explores the history and future of interracial intimacy\, how white supremacy was constructed and how “culturally dexterous” allies undermine it. Her book\, Place Not Race (Beacon\, 2014)\, recommended radical reforms of selective college admissions in order to promote robust diversity; it was nominated for an NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Non-Fiction in 2015. Her book\, The Failures of Integration (PublicAffairs\, 2004) explored the persistence and consequences of race and class segregation. It was an Editors’ Choice in the New York Times Book Review. Cashin is also a three-time nominee for the Hurston/Wright Legacy Award for non-fiction (2005\, 2009\, and 2018). She has published widely in academic journals and written commentaries for Politico Magazine\, the New York Times\, Los Angeles Times\, Washington Post\, Salon\, The Root\, and other media. \nProfessor Cashin serves as board member of the Poverty and Race Research Action Council. She is former Vice Chair of the board of Building One America\, a network of local\, multiracial coalitions that promote social inclusion\, racial justice and sustainable economic opportunity\, especially in distressed places. She served for a decade on the trustee boards of Vanderbilt University\, The Duke Ellington School of the Arts\, and the National Portrait Gallery.

SUMMARY:[Virtual] Art Litigation and Fashion Law Conference
DESCRIPTION:The newly merged Art Litigation & Fashion Law Conference brings two global industries into one compelling program. This year’s conference will be held virtually over two days\, with four educational panels each day. Experts in commercial transactions\, employment law\, international trade\, and intellectual property will collaborate for panels at the advanced and primer level. The conference is designed for attorneys and non-attorneys who are interested in the intersection of art\, fashion\, and the law. \nThursday evening’s reception at The National Arts Club has been cancelled. There will be no in-person programming for this conference. All panels will remain virtual at the below posted times. \n\n\nAgenda\n\nART LAW: Thursday – February 10\n12:00 – 12:20 pm ET | Welcome Remarks \n\nRaymond J. Dowd\, Partner\, Dunnington Bartholow & Miller LLP; Conference Chair\n\n12:30 – 1:30 pm ET | Restitution – The Return of Cultural Artefacts:  A New Paradigm for the Legal System? \nDecades-old debates about the restitution of cultural objects have acquired a new urgency recently with the intensification of scrutiny of European museum collections acquired in the colonial period. Alexander Herman’s new\, fascinating and accessible book Restitution – The Return of Cultural Artefacts covers a wide range of current controversies over the return of cultural treasures: why it is demanded\, how it is negotiated\, and where it might lead\, forcing us to confront an often-dark history\, and the difficult application of our contemporary conceptions of justice to the past. Should we allow plundered artefacts to rest where they lie—often residing there by the imbalances of history? Herman questions whether we are entering a new ‘restitution paradigm\,’ one that could have an indelible impact on national legal systems for many years to come. \n\nAlex Herman\, Director\, Institute of Art & Law (London)\nHon. Loretta Preska\, Senior U.S. District Judge\, Southern District of New York\nIntroduction by John Cahill\, Partner\, Olsoff | Cahill | Cossu LLP\n\n1:40 – 2:40 pm ET | Visual Intelligence for Lawyers and Investigators      \n\nAmy Herman\, Attorney & Art Historian\, Art of Perception\, Inc.\nIntroduction by Ben Hartley\, Executive Director\, The National Arts Club\n\n2:50 – 3:50 pm ET | Robert Jackson and The Birth of the National Gallery \nIn 1935\, Robert H. Jackson\, Assistant General Counsel of the U.S. Treasury Department’s Bureau of Internal Revenue (and later U.S. Solicitor General\, U.S. Attorney General\, U.S. Supreme Court justice\, and U.S. chief prosecutor at Nuremberg of Nazi war criminals) prosecuted Andrew W. Mellon\, former Treasury secretary\, in a civil tax deficiency and fraud case. Some of the issues concerned Mr. Mellon’s fabulous art collection. The next year\, while the case was ongoing\, Mellon donated paintings and funds that became the National Gallery of Art in Washington\, D.C. To this day\, we all benefit from Jackson’s law enforcement work and Mellon’s late in life generosity. \n\nJohn Q. Barrett\, Professor of Law\, St. John’s University\nIntroduction by Stephen Crane (Ret.)\, Mediator and Arbitrator\, JAMS\n\n4:00 – 5:00 pm ET | Art & IP:  A Practitioner’s Overview       \nThe intersection of art & intellectual property (“IP”) can be complex and difficult to navigate.  Who owns the artwork?  How much of another artist’s work can be used?  How can an artist best protect their rights? This panel will provide an overview of how copyrights\, patents\, and trademarks can be used to help artists and art collectors.  We explore the proactive steps that can be taken\, the limits of IP rights\, and when and how third-party intellectual property can be used without liability.  We will also explore the use of non-fungible tokens (“NFTs”) as a means for creating and selling works of art.  The panelists will familiarize and identify these issues for non-IP practitioners to develop an understanding of what can be protected or how a client can reduce risk of liability. \n\nApril M. Capati\, Partner\, Lerner David Littenberg Krumholz & Mentlik LLP\nMelanie A. Chernoff\, Associate\, Lerner David Littenberg Krumholz & Mentlik LLP\nStephen F. Roth\, Partner\, Lerner David Littenberg Krumholz & Mentlik LLP\nIntroduction by Elizabeth “Betsy” Dale\, Associate\, Dunnington Bartholow & Miller LLP; Conference Chair\n\nFASHION LAW: Friday – February 11\n12:00 – 12:20 pm ET | Welcome Remarks \n\nOlivera Medenica\, Partner\, Dunnington Bartholow & Miller LLP; Conference Chair\n\n12:30 – 1:30 pm ET | Luxury Meets Resale: Can the Two Peacefully Coexist or will Claims of Trademark Infringement Trump the Defenses of the First Sale Doctrine and Nominative Fair Use? \nThe sustainable fashion economy has been gaining momentum in an explosive way. Consumers are purchasing and maximizing the life of their luxury goods to minimize their impact on the environment\, and fashion houses and luxury brands are committing to sustainable practices to keep with market trends. The online luxury consignment market\, led by companies such as The Real Real (TRR) and What Goes Around Comes Around (WGACA)\, offers a consumer-focused platform that allows for the consignment and resale of luxury goods. In an ecosystem built on brand-consciousness and exclusivity\, can both luxury and resale coexist or will claims of trademark infringement\, counterfeiting and false advertising trump the defenses of the First Sale Doctrine and nominative fair use and arrest the development of this segment of the sustainable fashion economy? During this session\, we will explore recent lawsuits brought by Chanel against TRR and WGACA alleging various claims under the Lanham Act and antitrust counterclaims\, and how these competing interests will affect the consumer. \n\nModerator: Robert Weisbein\, Partner\, Foley & Lardner LLP\nLaura Ganoza\, Partner Foley & Lardner LLP\nGregg Meyer\, Chief Sustainability Officer\, Counsel and Head of Corporate Social Responsibility\, Steve Madden Ltd.\nStacy Raphael Stewart\, Associate General Counsel\, Trademarks – IP and Brand Protection\, Coty Inc.\n\n1:40 – 2:40 pm ET | A Discussion of Supply Chain Issues Relating to the Global Pandemic\, New Laws\, and Force Majeure Clauses \nThis panel will explore supply chain issues relating to the global pandemic\, new laws that have been enacted\, and contract claims caused by supply chain demands and delays.  The panelists will describe how supply chain issues have impacted the fashion industry\, including broken supply lines\, and what that means for the label and its consumers. The panelists will also discuss legal issues that fashion houses face relating to supply chain issues.  This will involve a discussion of contract claims and defenses\, including force majeure.  The panel will provide perspectives on these issues from the United States\, Europe and beyond. \n\nModerator: Maria Vathis\, Of Counsel\, Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner LLP\nDanielle C. Lesser\, Partner & Chair of Business Litigation\, Morrison Cohen LLP\nLena Saltos\, Associate General Counsel\, Global Director of Intellectual Property\, URBN (Urban Outfitters\, Anthropologie\, Free People\, Nuuly)\nBen Vanpeperstraete\, Sr. Legal Advisor\, European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights\nAlexandra Varla\, Attorney at Law\, Founder\, Tailored: Law & Business in the Fashion & Luxury Industry\n\n2:50 – 3:50 pm ET | Customs Exclusions and Counterfeits: Issues for Fashion Brands \nThis CLE will explore import violations such as forced labor and intellectual property as well as how to protect your supply chain and your brand. Part One of the panel will broadly discuss US Customs and Border Protection’s (CBP) Enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) at the Border: Seizures vs. Exclusions. Part Two of the panel and using CBP to protect your IPR and combat gray goods. Part three will discuss Forced Labor Considerations and the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA). And part four will discuss protecting your brand from IPR theft on e-commerce platforms. Attendees will learn how to protect their IPR with CBP; how to challenge seizures or exclusions of their imports; and efforts and legislation to make e-commerce sales IPR safe. \n\nModerator: Frances P. Hadfield\, Counsel\, Crowell Moring LLP\nGraham Gibbs\, Legal Counsel – Anti-Counterfeiting\, Chanel\, Inc.\nElyssa R. Kutner\, Senior Managing Associate\, Sidley Austin LLP\nLora Moffat\, Head of U.S. Intellectual Property\, CHANEL\n\n4:00 – 5:00 pm ET | Diversity\, Equity & Inclusion in the Fashion Industry: Not Just a Trend \nWomen\, BIPOC\, and other minorities in the fashion industry are protected from discrimination in the workplace by federal and state laws. Recent social initiatives have increased the necessary attention to this ever-present issue. In this panel we will discuss how recent events of racial injustice and other social movements such as the #MeToo Movement\, #BlackLivesMatter and the Fifteen Percent Pledge\, have impacted the fashion industry and the measures that the industry has taken to address discrimination in the workplace. Our panelists\, which include employer attorneys and a General Counsel\, will discuss the following topics:  what federal laws protect women\, BIPOC and other minorities against discrimination in the workplace\, including Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Equal Pay Act of 1963; how Federal Courts have interpreted the protections granted by these laws to women and BIPOC; what preventive measures employers may take to prevent discrimination in the workplace and avoid legal exposure; and industry best practices. \n\nModerator: Katherine González Valentín\, Capital Member\, Ferraiuoli\, LLC\nGlianny Fagundo\, Partner\, Thompson Hine LLP\nAdrienne Logan\, General Counsel – Americas\, Vans\nNicole Rodríguez Velázquez\, Associate\, Ferraiuoli\, LLC\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration\nRegistration for this event is now closed.
