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.

SUMMARY:Memphis Mid-South Chapter: FBA Annual Seminar
DESCRIPTION:The Memphis Mid-South Chapter of the Federal Bar Association invites you to join us (virtually) on Friday\, October 22\, 8:45 AM – 4:15 PM for our Annual Seminar. The seminar will feature presentations on the current and upcoming Supreme Court term\, historic Supreme Court cases\, electronic evidence and eDiscovery\, and a WDTN judges panel. \n\n8:45 AM – 9:00 AM: Welcome and Announcements on CLE Credit\n\n9:00 AM – 10:15 AM: Supreme Court Update \n\nJason Steed\, Kilpatrick Townsend\n\nWith a new Justice on the bench\, the nation’s highest court tackled everything from whether a\nstate can forbid voters from relying on another person to collect and drop off ballots (it can) to\nwhether a school can kick a student off cheer squad because she dropped an f-bomb on\nsocial media (it can’t). Jason Steed breaks it all down in this lively session and previews the\nbig issues the U.S. Supreme Court will tackle in the October 2021 term. \n10:30 AM – 11:45 AM: Citizens to Preserve Overton Park at 50 and the Byhalia Pipeline \n\nCharlie Newman\, Scott Crosby\n Sarah Stuart – Burch\, Porter\, and Johnson\nJosh Whitehead – Zoning Administrator\, Memphis and Shelby County Division of Planning and Development\, Adjunct Professor\, U of M School of Law\n\nIn 1971\, the U.S. Supreme Court sided with Citizens to Preserve Overton Park and helped\nprevent an interstate highway from being constructed through the middle of the midtown\nMemphis gem. Fifty years later\, the Mid-South was embroiled in a similar battle\, with citizens\nworking to prevent the Byhalia Pipeline from being constructed and bisecting nearly all-Black\ncommunities in southwest Memphis. This panel will discuss what happens when land\ndevelopment collides with social and environmental justice. \n12:15 PM – 1:15 PM: Brown v. Board of Education and Why It Matters to Your Practice Today \n\nMichael Rafferty – Harris Shelton\n\nIn its opinion in Brown v. Board of Education\, the Supreme Court chose to omit a discussion\nof the facts of the case and focus instead on the effects of racial segregation in public\nschools. In so doing\, the Court missed an opportunity to thoroughly describe the poor\nconditions of the “colored” schools and paint the full picture of how omnipresent segregation\nwas not only in public schools\, but also in society in general. In this session\, we will revisit the\nunderlying facts of the consolidated cases and contemporaneous accounts of other aspects of\ndaily life in the state-mandated segregated South at that time and examine how today’s\npractitioners can help put the finishing touches on the end of the Jim Crow era by considering\nwhether the segregationist mentality might still exist and be hidden in current laws. The\nsession will also examine how the composition of the Court and lead counsel contributed to\nthe outcome of the case. \n1:30 PM – 3:00 PM: Artificial Intelligence as Evidence \n\nThe Honorable Paul W. Grimm\, U.S. District Judge for the District of Maryland\nMaura R. Grossman\, Research Professor in the School of Computer Science at the University\nof Waterloo\, Adjunct Professor at Osgoode Hall Law School\, affiliate faculty member of the\nVector Institute\, Ontario\, Canada\, principal at Maura Grossman Law\n\nIn the ever-changing landscape of eDiscovery and modern forms of evidence\, understanding\ncutting-edge topics relating to Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become essential for\nlitigators. Topics to be covered in this session include the fundamentals of AI\, including an\nunderstanding of how it works\, how it is being used in the legal industry and elsewhere\, and\nsome of the issues AI implicates. In addition\, the session will also address what admissibility\nissues are posed in introducing AI evidence and how to address those issues\, as well as a\ndescription and analysis of the pertinent rules of evidence and how they apply to AI. \n3:15 PM – 4:15 PM: Judges Panel \n\nChief District Judge S. Thomas Anderson\nDistrict Judge Thomas L. Parker\nDistrict Judge Mark S. Norris\n\nChief Magistrate Judge Tu M. Pham will discuss a wide range of topics related to federal practice and professionalism. Magistrate Judge Annie T.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Conflict of Interest Restrictions After Government Employment
DESCRIPTION:Many federal government employees who retire\, establish a consulting practice\, or take up employment in the private sector\, using their skills and experience to support the business needs of their clients and employers. There are restrictions\, however\, on the ability of these former government professionals to approach the U.S. government\, particularly their former agencies\, on behalf of clients or employers. There are additional restrictions\, where the principal is a foreign entity. The key federal statute and regulations governing these restrictions are 18 U.S.C. § 207 (Restrictions on former officers\, employees\, and elected officials of the executive and legislative branches) and 5 C.F.R. § 2641 (Post-employment conflict of interest restrictions). \nThis presentation will examine the general provisions of the statute and regulations\, discuss the prohibitions they stipulate\, and the applicable exceptions and waivers.

SUMMARY:Webinar: A Call to Action: Stepping Up to Lead and Effectuate Change in a Time of Crisis
DESCRIPTION:This CLE presents a unique training opportunity led by Dr. Artika Tyner\, author of the award-winning book\, The Lawyer as Leader: How to Plant People and Grow Justice\, for newer and younger attorneys to support their efforts and participation in the FBA Younger Lawyer Division’s Annual StepUp Pro Bono Challenge. In FY2020\, then-YLD Chair Adine S. Momoh led a Call to Action following George Floyd’s tragic death and the civil unrest across Minnesota\, the country and world. The YLD issued a statement and provided resources to help younger attorneys respond. The YLD then initiated a national pro bono challenge\, the StepUp Pro Bono Challenge\, and encouraged younger attorneys to step up and perform pro bono specifically addressing issues of systemic racism\, socio-economic injustice\, and access to justice. The YLD Board has since adopted it as an annual program.  In the training\, Dr. Tyner will explore her book and discuss tangible ways lawyers can use their legal skills to advocate for change in marginalized communities. Participants will learn how they can use their skills\, position\, and authority to create equal access to justice. Participants will leave motivated and with concrete action items for how they can assist in bringing about change in our communities. \nPresented by the Younger Lawyers Division\nWebinar Sponsored by: \n\nDiversity\, Equity and Inclusion Committee\nMinnesota Chapter\nAtlanta Chapter\nUtah Chapter\n\nRegistration for this event is now closed. \n\nAbout the Presenters\nDr. Artika R.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Targeting Big Tech: The Antitrust Push Against Big Tech
DESCRIPTION:Over the past 5 years there has a been an increasing focus and push at both the federal and state level to use the antitrust laws to attempt to restrain technology companies and their alleged anticompetitive power and growing power over consumers’ everyday life.  Those attempts\, however\, have run into the “consumer welfare” standard\, that has guided antitrust law for more than 40 years with a focus solely on whether alleged actions will result in higher prices to consumers.  This session will explore the current issues posed by “Big Tech”\, whether these issues actually cause harm to consumers\, whether existing laws are sufficient to address potential competition concerns\, and whether changes are necessary to the current antitrust laws. \nPresented by the Antitrust & Trade Regulation Section \n\nAbout the Presenters\nRobert Hauberg\, Senior Counsel\, Baker Donelson (Moderator) \nAs former chair of the firm’s Government Enforcement and Investigations practice group\, Robert concentrates his practice in antitrust\, securities\, False Claims Act and RICO litigation and white collar crime\, including congressional investigations and internal investigations. \nHe has handled dozens of grand jury investigations\, criminal trials\, civil trials involving mergers\, price fixing\, anticompetitive conduct\, financial institutions\, RICO\, false claims by government contractors\, whistleblowers\, and bribery of public officials.  Before private practice\, Robert served as a federal prosecutor: AUSA in DC; senior official in the Antitrust Division (Communications and Finance Section) and Criminal Division (Fraud Section\, Dallas Bank Fraud Task Force) of DOJ. \nRobert is chair of the Federal Bar Association Antitrust and Trade Regulation Section.  Previously he served as chair of the District of Columbia Bar’s Antitrust and Consumer Law Community and the American Bar Association’s Antitrust Section Committees on Compliance and Ethics and on Financial Institutions. \nJames Tierney\, Partner\, Orrick Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP \nJim served in the Department of Justice’s Antitrust Division for more than 25 years\, the last 10 of which he ran the Technology & Financial Services section (formerly the Networks and Technologies Section or Net Tech) that oversaw the review\, investigation and litigation of every major strategic technology transaction and conduct issue\, including those involving the big 5 tech industry leaders. Reaching beyond just technology\, Jim also oversaw matters in the areas of financial services\, securities industries\, and professional associations. \nJim brings this vast experience to Orrick’s large technology clients and advises them on navigating the tricky waters of government investigations of business activities with antitrust implications like mergers\, joint ventures\, and single-firm conduct. He knows how the DOJ will view proposed transactions\, what issues are likely to trip up a deal or investigation and has relationships throughout the DOJ to get things done. And while Jim served as head of Technology & Financial Services\, he worked closely with his counterparts in competition agencies around the world and is able to draw on those invaluable relationships in foreign jurisdictions. His ability to anticipate problems that he saw while sitting on the other side of the table has allowed him to successfully gain merger clearance for Microsoft’s acquisition of GitHub and Cisco’s acquisition of Viptela\, as well as resolving numerous technology matters for AT&T\, Cerence\, eBay\, Netflix\, Sonos and others. \n\n\nEric Grannon\, Partner\, White & Case LLP \nEric helps clients with antitrust matters\, including civil and criminal defense as well as counseling for mergers and acquisitions\, settlements of pharmaceutical patent litigation\, and strategic planning. Since 2001\, he also has helped clients with concerns under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and other anti-corruption issues. Eric began at the firm as a summer associate in 1997 and has been a partner since 2007. \nFor clients with needs outside Eric’s areas of specialization\, he often serves as a relationship partner\, ensuring that the client receives the firm’s best work and advice\, efficiently and cost-effectively. In that role\, Eric also works to ensure that a client’s work streams create opportunities for attorneys at White & Case in line with the client company’s values. \nA former prosecutor\, Eric returned to White & Case after serving as Counsel to the Assistant Attorney General in charge of the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) in 2003-04\, where he helped formulate US antitrust enforcement policy and manage the civil and criminal investigations and court cases brought by the Antitrust Division. He ended his DOJ service with a detail as a Special Assistant US Attorney in the District of Columbia\, trying twenty bench and jury trials as lead counsel. \nDana Vogel\, Competition\, Innovation & Privacy Unit Chief\, Civil Litigation Division\, Office of the Attorney General \n\n\nDana Vogel currently serves as the Unit Chief Counsel for the Competition\, Innovation & Privacy Unit within the Consumer Protection & Advocacy Section of the Arizona Attorney General’s Office. Dana works on and oversees antitrust matters as well as data breach and Arizona’s Fintech Sandbox program. These antitrust matters include the Generic Drug Pharmaceuticals litigation alongside other State Attorneys General\, the Facebook antitrust litigation alongside other State Attorneys General and the FTC\, and the Google litigation alongside other State Attorneys General and the DOJ. Dana has also participated in Arizona-specific antitrust investigations and litigation such as the investigation into whether dental suppliers were illegally preventing a new entrant from entering the market. Dana has also worked on Class Action Fairness Act matters in the US Supreme Court and the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth\, Sixth\, and Third Circuit. \n  \nDana joined the Arizona Attorney General’s Office in 2013 as an Assistant Attorney General in the Antitrust Unit of the Civil Litigation Division. She made a name for herself within the office for her antitrust expertise and her drive to help Arizona consumers\, becoming Antitrust Unit Chief Counsel in 2019. Later\, data breach and the Fintech Sandbox program were added to the Antitrust Unit\, creating the Competition\, Innovation & Privacy Unit. She joined the Attorney General’s Office after graduating cum laude from Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law at Arizona State University. \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 September 1\, 2021.

SUMMARY:Webinar: The Use of International Law in Domestic Courts and International Tribunals
DESCRIPTION:Robert “Bob” Pauw\, a partner with Gibbs Houston Pauw in Seattle\, Washington\, will focus on the use of international law in U.S. domestic courts and at the Inter American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR). Mr. Pauw will discuss exhaustion of domestic remedies\, the procedure for bringing claims to the IACHR\, and the enforceability of decisions issued by international tribunals. Although under the Constitution international law is part of “the supreme Law of the Land\,” courts and agencies may be reluctant to follow requirements of international law. Often international law is not directly enforceable in United States courts and it can be difficult to convince courts and agencies to follow international law norms. Mr. Pauw will discuss how\, in spite of these difficulties\, international law may be useful for purposes of constitutional and statutory interpretation\, and ways to facilitate consideration of international law by courts and agencies. The IACHR cases which will be discussed involve removal proceedings under U.S. immigration law. \nPresented by the International Law Section\nCo-Sponsored by the Immigration Law Section \nRegistration for this event is now closed. \n\nAbout the Presenters\nRobert “Bob” Pauw\, Founding Partner\, Gibbs Houston Pauw \nRobert Pauw is a founding partner of Gibbs Houston Pauw.
