M. SUE TALIA: So here we are, ready to talk about limited scope representation. To start out, if you have all of the clients you want, you love every blessed one of them, and you have zero accounts receivable, you probably don't need these. But if you have accounts receivable, if you would like to find a way to tap a new pool of currently untapped clients, and you want to find a group of clients who will be the most satisfied clients you've probably ...

I'd like to practice law part-time and I'm intrigued by starting a limited scope-only only practice. Do you know of ...

M SUE TALIA: OK. Let's start segment two. Risk management materials-- your ticket to a good night's sleep. I have said, I am a big fan of lawyers doing good work, getting paid for it, and sleeping well at night.

LYLE ROBERTS: Great. If everyone is settled in, or getting settled in, we will launch into our second panel today, which is, OK, we've had the investigation. Or at least we've talked about the issues surrounding investigation, and perhaps a quick, early settlement, if possible, with the SEC. But what about the civil actions? Our fact patterns suggest that we're going to have a lot of civil actions going on, including multiple securities class actions ...

Recorded on: Apr. 27, 2012

JONATHAN K. YOUNGWOOD: Panel, yes. So we've talked about the investigation, the government regulatory aspect, which is often how a securities case starts. We've talked about the drafting of the complaint, the filing of the complaint, the likely motion to dismiss the Complaint. And lo and behold, we can all assume that the Medicines R Us case was not thrown out on a motion to dismiss. And so it's going to continue as a civil securities case, likely ...

LYLE ROBERTS: Great. We are back. And thanks, everybody, for coming back in. And this panel will now be on seeking resolution, strategies in mediation and settlement. And as you know, through the morning, we kind of took you through the case from investigation, to filing of a civil action, to some of the litigating of the civil action. And an important piece, especially in a securities class action, is the potential for settlement. And so this panel ...

LYLE ROBERTS: Great. So let's get started with our final panel of the day.
