AMY: It is now my pleasure to turn this briefing over to John Tuttle. JONATHAN TUTTLE: Hello all and welcome and thanks for joining on the call today. What Matt and I are going to talk about really had its most recent origin in some newspaper articles that Matt will discuss later talking about 10b5-1 trading plans and bringing those plans kind of back to the forefront of both the enforcement and the corporate issuer context. I think what we're going ...

SPEAKER 1: This panel deals with accommodations, both in disabilities but in other contexts as well.

ANNE CALLAGY: My name is Anne Callagy, and I'm going to be talking about the Appeals Council review of ALJ decisions. I think, at the moment, we have the wrong PowerPoint up on the screen.

CYRUS D. MEHTA: OK, so we'll get moving with the next panel. We spoke about how people get into removal and deportation proceedings. This panel will generally speak about how people can seek relief from removal and deportation. And just relief in general, because asylum can be sought even administratively outside the removal context. So we do have a great panel. And it's going to be a long panel-- 1 hour, 15 minutes.

EDWIN SMITH: It's very important that you do the evaluations. We look at those every year to try to determine who to keep on the panel and who to throw off.

IAN BALLON: So our next panel is Best Practices in a Changing Data Privacy Landscape. And just to have to make sure that these experts on best practices in a changing landscape are kept on their toes, we're trying to usher them in a few moments early, pulling them out of their calls or preparation or whatever else they were doing, just to see how nimble they are in dealing with unplanned events. Great. And we've got four experts in this area for ...

ERWIN CHEMERINSKY: Lest anyone say that this program is going to the dogs, that won't happen until next year. Now we turn to the civil rights cases. Marty. MARTIN A. SCHWARTZ: Well, this segment is entitled civil rights litigation and Bivens claims.

JONATHAN K. YOUNGWOOD: So most of these things don't begin and end with the discovery of the press release, or the press story with the regulatory investigation. Any company that's experienced what this company just experienced is, without fail, going to face civil litigation, as well. And the rest of the day is really largely going to focus on that, although, keeping in the back of our minds that there's an ongoing regulatory investigation. And ...

And we are very fortunate to have another esteemed panel of experts in the area. And I'll introduce them. Nancy needs no introduction. To Nancy's right is David Brodsky, who is a partner at Cleary Gottlieb here in New York, who-- and this is going to be a refrain ...

Recorded on: Aug. 13, 2012

ERWIN CHEMERINSKY: This segment of the program is devoted to, undoubtedly, the most high profile case of the term-- cited by the National Federation of Independent Business for Civilis. It involves the constitutionality of the Patient Protection Affordable Care Act. What I'd like to do, again, as best I can, as neutral as I can, is describe what the Supreme Court said and offer some thoughts about what it's likely to mean for you as lawyers for future ...

Recorded on: Aug. 13, 2012

ERWIN CHEMERINSKY: Good afternoon. The first session this afternoon focuses on the criminal procedure decisions. Frankly, I think all the cases this term, the ones that are likely to have the largest practical effect what judges and lawyers do on a daily basis are those dealing with criminal law and criminal procedure. I begin by introducing you to a new panelist. And this is Sherry Colb, certainly not new to this program, just new with us on the ...

Recorded on: Jan. 24, 2013

IAN BALLON: Welcome back. The next two segments are going to be combined into one. They're both presentations dealing with defense perspectives. The first part is case law and trends from a defense perspective, and the second part is the in-house counsel panel. But we thought it actually would be interesting to combine the two. So we're going to talk about the cases and the trends and intersperse the presentation with panel discussions. And for the ...

THEODORE ROGERS: OK. Well, are we ready? Great. Thanks. So thanks for coming back into the room so promptly. This program on class actions is one where if you want to go back and be an adjunct at a law school, you can sell yourself in this business. Because the law is really interesting and moving. Frankly, I used to think class actions were very dull, which cost me a lot of money, because they're very lucrative actions. But they just were dull. ...
