ZACHARY D. FASMAN: All right. Well, you're leaving here before the best program starts-- the best part of the program. That's all right, they'll talk loudly. One of the lectures said yesterday called somebody a walking root canal, which I thought was a good line. I think retaliation from the management viewpoint is a walking root canal-- the whole subject is very difficult-- simply because you don't have to explain well, is it sexual harassment? ...

AMY L. BESS: Thank you, Danielle. I would just like to say just to echo what Daniel just said that this year, when Zach and I and Danielle were getting together to plan the agenda for this event, we really did look at last year's evaluations and the recommendations that all of you who attended last year made with regard to what kind of programming you wanted to see this year. And we've already had a couple people stop us after a segment and say, ...

ZACH: All right, folks. Homestretch. Ethics. Everybody got some caffeine? Looks like it. This is good. Actually, this is going to be interactive, and our presenters here are Mike Cleveland-- who you have heard from for the past couple of days-- and he's joined by Jim McQuade, who's an Of Counsel at Orrick's New York Office. Jim is in the employment law department, has spent a good deal of time representing employers on the broadest range of issues, ...

WILLIS J. GOLDSMITH: Get started with our next presentation. If we could take our seats. I think Danielle's going to bring you people outside of the room in, but let's get started. As with the last presentation, we are really fortunate to have with us today Jeff Klein and Justin Swartz. There really are very few, if any, two lawyers-- Jeff on the side of employers, Justin on the side of plaintiffs-- who have more, or more high quality, experience ...

P. ANTHONY SAMMI: So let me just jump right into the next panel. This is entitled, Protecting Your Clients' Trade Secrets. And we've got two wonderful gentlemen with us here today.

ZACHARY FASMAN: OK, well that was pretty good. It's sort of changing a scene in the theater. That's pretty good. I mean, we did that quickly. From EEOC, EEOC and systemic stuff, and I hope you're sufficiently scared or encouraged if you're plaintiff's counsel to know that the commission is enforcing the law as it is. We're going to turn to something a little bit different here, which is psychological issues in employment litigation. We've assembled ...

THEODORE M. SHAW: [UNINTELLIGIBLE] and good morning to you all. I want to thank Janet Segal and the staff at PLI for once again inviting me and inviting us to present on this very important topic. My role is as moderator. And I will try to stick to that role. But I also plan to say a quick word about the case that the Supreme Court granted cert down in Texas, or coming out of Texas, involving a re-visitation of Grutter in one form or another. One ...

ANNE C. VLADECK: I'd like to just briefly introduce this esteemed panel. Their biographies, in full, are on your iPad or in the book.

Recorded on: Jun. 21, 2013

THEODORE O. ROGERS: All right. We're ready to start again. Thank you for being timely in getting back by 1:45. Our next session is on retaliation claims. This is my favorite song lyric-- and it's Anne's suggestion-- "every breath you take, I'll be watching you." Because, as we'll discuss a little bit more, people who have made complaints and stay in the workforce probably do have the point of view that there are people out there with that ...

Recorded on: Mar. 19, 2013

RICHARD RAYSMAN: All right. Our first panel today is going to be talking about ethics in social media, obviously. And we're going to have, really, a panel discussion, which I think will be quite interesting. At least in my mind view, it's been a pretty good format. So I wanted to introduce our three panelists. All the way to your left, to my right, one of our panelists is Sofia Rahman. She's the global social media attorney for Citi's Consumer Businesses. ...

WILLIS J. GOLDSMITH: Our last panel of the day-- again for their purposes. I'm not going through the bios. Everyone has the bios. This is another panel of not only the wonderful practitioners, but also good friends of mine. Immediately to my right is Laura Schnell, one of my plaintiff's lawyers of choice. Whenever I get a call from the executive vice-president saying that his sister-in-law just got fired, poor Laura gets my call. Jill Rosenberg to ...

CYDNEY A. TUNE: I'm going to move right along. I do have a comment during this transition period. I am sure you have probably experienced this same thing, it's on this topic. Whether your client's a publisher, a developer, a company with content, and you're trying to make good terms for the apps, or whatever, and the client always says, yeah, but nobody reads them. What difference does it make what's in there? Nobody reads them. I can't tell you how ...

WILLIS J. GOLDSMITH: OK. Before we get into the substance of the next panel, I have to ask if there's a video. Is there a YouTube video? ROBERT M. HALE: Oh, no. Nobody was on the FMLA or IDA.

ZACHARY D. FASMAN: All right. You all ready? Good, good. All right. We wanted to provide you with a section that dealt with, on a more or less holistic basis, the concept of independent contractors in various areas of employment law. It's a huge subject. And it's one that's fascinating not just from the definition-- I know that our three panelists are not going to do the IRS 20 factor test on who's an employee, who's not an employee. That's not going ...

To do that we have two very eminently qualified employment law practitioners who will be addressing these issues from different sides of the courtroom, I suppose you might say. First is Michael Curley. Michael is a partner in Curley, Hessinger & Johnsrud. He's ...

CYDNEY TUNE: All right. So no break right now. But this is a perfect segue into our next topic. Unions and guilds have staked their claim in the new world. And I've had-- people are wondering like, hey, wait a minute. I'm not a Hollywood producer. I'm not a studio. I'm a network. Why should I care about this topic? And what I'm seeing a lot of my clients is that first of all, mobile content creation is sort of the Wild West, right? So you've got ...
