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 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.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Pablo Picasso and the Art of Pleading\, Proving and Arguing Foreign Law in U.S. Courts with Judge Loretta Preska
DESCRIPTION:Pablo Picasso’s artworks and estate have sparked controversies requiring U.S. courts to grapple with issues of foreign law. In de Fontbrune v. Wofsy\, 838 F.3d 992 )(9th Cir. 2016) a decision involving a U.S. enforcement proceeding Picasso’s copyrights\, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals accused other federal circuit courts of “semantic sloppiness” in requiring parties seeking to apply foreign law to bear the burden of proving it. The Ninth Circuit looked to Rule 44.1 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (enacted in 1966) which permits a court to consider “any relevant source” of foreign law and treats the court’s determination of foreign law as a ruling on a question of law. In Zuckerman v. The Metropolitan Museum of Art\, 307 F.Supp.3d 304 (S.D.N.Y. 2018) aff’d 928 F.3d 186 (2d Cir. 2019) Judge Loretta Preska considered a claim of duress made by victims of Nazi persecution under the Italian law of duress to recover Picasso’s The Actor from the Metropolitan Museum following transactions in Switzerland\, Italy\, France and ultimately New York. In Zuckerman\, Judge Preska analyzed the choice of law issues\, including (i) whether Italian law and New York law conflicted and (ii) how New York’s “interest analysis” applied to the jurisdictions through which the artwork had passed and (iii) how choice of law rules differ in contracts versus torts. This program will provide an analytical framework for attorneys nationwide seeking to navigate issues of foreign law and choice of law. \nPresented by the Federal Litigation Section \n\nAbout the Presenters\nRaymond J. Dowd is a litigation partner with Dunnington Bartholow & Miller LLP in New York City.  He has litigated a number of landmark art restitution cases in the state and federal courts.  He is the author of Copyright Litigation Handbook (Thomson Reuters West 14th Ed. 2020-21) and currently serves on the Board of Governors of  the National Arts Club\, as President of the American Foreign Law Association and on the Board of the Fordham Law Alumni Association.  He has held numerous leadership positions in the Federal Bar Association and was the 2020 recipient of the Earl W.

SUMMARY:[Virtual] 2021 D.C. Indian Law Conference
DESCRIPTION:In 2021\, tribal nations have continued to work through the unprecedented challenges presented by the global coronavirus pandemic while addressing a number of other key legal issues that could have implications for Indian country for generations to come\, ranging from new and recurring questions about the breadth of tribal jurisdiction to approaches for expanding economic development opportunities\, and well beyond. Please join us for the Virtual D.C. Indian Law Conference on November 18-19\, 2021 as we hear from leading experts exploring some of these issues. Panel topics will include Equal Protection and Other Constitutional Attacks\, Indian Country’s COVID-19 Response\, Exercising Criminal Jurisdiction in the Wake of McGirt\, and IGRA\, Sports Betting and the Internet. \nRegistration for this event is now closed. \n\n\nAgenda\nAll Times Below are in Eastern Standard Time (EST) \n\nThursday\, November 18\, 2021\n12:00 – 1:30 p.m. ET | Exercising Criminal Jurisdiction in the Wake of McGirt \nThis panel reviews McGirt v. Oklahoma\, 140 S. Ct. 2452 (2020)\, where the U.S. Supreme Court affirmed the continued existence of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation Reservation boundaries. Tribal\, Federal\, and State jurisdictional implications of the decision will be discussed\, as well as how Oklahoma Tribes and our federal partners are responding to ensure tribal lands and surrounding communities remain safe for everyone. \n\nRobin Lash\, General Counsel\, Miami Tribe of Oklahoma (moderator)\nSara Hill\, Attorney General\, Cherokee Nation\nTracy Toulou\, Director\, Office of Tribal Justice\, U.S. Department of Justice\nO. Joseph Williams\, Attorney\, Reservation Legal Solutions\, PLLC\n\n2:00 – 3:30 p.m. ET | IGRA\, Sports Betting\, and the Internet \nThis panel will discuss the landscape of Indian gaming and the Internet. For years\, Tribal governments engaged in gaming have strategized about how best to participate in online and mobile event wagering. The challenges have been political\, legal\, and economic. The ongoing pandemic accelerated this process in some manners and has provided early glimpses about what Indian gaming may look like in tomorrow’s technological era. Please join us for this important discussion.” \n\nDerrick Beetso\, Director\, Indian Gaming and Tribal Self-Governance Programs\, Arizona State University College of Law\nJoseph Webster\, Partner\, Hobbs\, Straus\, Dean & Walker\, LLP\nScott Crowell\, Crowell Law Office – Tribal Advocacy Group\nMike Hoenig\, General Counsel\, National Indian Gaming Commission\n\nFriday\, November 19\, 2021\n12:00 – 1:30 p.m. ET | Equal Protection and other Constitutional Attacks on Indian Law \nThose who seek to undermine Indian Tribes and the unique place they occupy in the constitutional structure frequently use Equal Protection as their vehicle for doing so.  Sometimes they claim that Indians are the beneficiaries of “special rights” unconstitutionally denied to non-Indians\, other times that Indians are denied full access to the rights to which they are entitled as U.S. citizens; and sometimes\, as in the Brackeen litigation\, they argue both at the same time.  This panel will discuss the many ways in which parties use Equal Protection to attack Indian Law\, in contexts as diverse as the Indian Child Welfare Act\, the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act\, and attempts to overturn the Supreme Court’s McGirt decision.  It also will situate these Equal Protection challenges within the broader framework of constitutional challenges to Indian Law.  Finally\, it will give practitioners the tools they need to push back against these arguments. \n\nGregory A. Smith\, Partner\, Hobbs\, Straus\, Dean & Walker\, LLP (moderator)\nIan Heath Gershengorn\, Partner\, Jenner & Block\nRiyaz Kanji\, Kanji & Katzen\, PPLC\nWenona Singel\, Associate Professor\, Michigan State University College of Law\n\nSession sponsored by: Hobbs\, Straus\, Dean & Walker LLP \n2:00 – 3:30 p.m. ET | Indian Country’s COVID-19 Response\n \nThe Covid-19 pandemic has had significant impacts on businesses and communities\, and Indian Country is no exception.  This panel will discuss a number of the business and economic challenges—and opportunities—encountered by tribes as a result of the pandemic.  Topics include accessing FRF and ARPA funds\, insurance claims for the business interruption losses suffered by tribal businesses\, SSBCI and other federal benefits provided to tribes for COVID relief\, and considerations for tribal employers\, such as the OSHA vaccine and testing mandate. \n\nJennifer Hughes\, Partner\, Hobbs\, Straus\, Dean & Walker\, LLP\nTae Phillips\, Shareholder\, Ogletree\, Deakins\, Nash\, Smoak & Stewart\, P.C.\nSusannah Carr\, Partner\, Gordon Tilden Thomas Cordell LLP\nMaranda Compton\, Partner\, Van Ness Feldman LLP\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration\nRegistration for this event is now closed. \n\n\n\nCancellation Policy: No refunds will be made for cancellations received after the close of business on November 10\, 2021.
