THEODORE O. ROGERS, JR: I'd clink a glass but it doesn't work on the paper cup, so we'll just-- whoops there it goes. Anne's going to introduce our next distinguished panel, but I did want to note that one of the challenges of holding this within the 10 days at the end of the Supreme Court's term is that there can be breaking news. And there's a decision that was issued this morning by the Supreme Court, which our panelists are going to describing ...

Recorded on: Feb. 8, 2013

JOHN DELANEY: I think we're back. Next topic up is drafting and updating social media policies and guidelines. And one thing I will say. So much has happened in this area of the law since we last met a year ago that I can say with quite some confidence that, if your company hasn't updated its social media policy or guidelines in the past year, they're probably out of date, just because so much has happened in this area. And we're very fortunate to ...

PHILIP M. BERKOWITZ: OK. We're going to move right into our next panel. And let me make the introductions, please. There are fewer panelists on this one, but I think you'll agree that there's much more brainpower, frankly, on this panel than the last one. I think they've all left. Let me make the quick introductions, please. I'd like to start. To my immediate right is Don Dowling. Don Dowling is really a legend in this field. I've known him for ...
