MARC ROTH: OK. I'd like to thank everyone for coming back into the room and those of you who are on the Web, thank you for coming back and joining us for now the last session of the program, which I think has been very, very informative and exciting the past day and a half, and will now culminate in a terrific program on e-discovery. I actually think this program also kind of like wraps up, this one session wraps up a lot of the issues we've been ...

WILLIS J. GOLDSMITH: So without further ado, on that score, let me introduce the speakers who will go over the first item on the agenda. Immediately to my right is Rich Gonzalez, a professor at Chicago Kent college of Law. But as importantly, a very experienced practitioner on the plaintiff's side. And we're fortunate to have him come in from Chicago to speak to us today. Just so you know, I'm not going to go through every detail and every bio here. ...

AMY TAUB: Greetings, my name is Amy Taub and I'm a program attorney with PLI. I would like to welcome you to today's briefing, Anti-Money Laundering Program, New Challenges for Non-bank Mortgage Lenders and Originators. Before I begin, I have some administrative announcements.

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 ...

MARC ROTH: OK. Is that good? All right. I want to thank everyone for returning to the room for the second session of our program. I'm very excited about the next program. It's actually one of the topics that gave rise to the agenda for this year's program, 2012 Information Technology, having to do with contracting issues for technology in the modern era. There's a lot of information that needs to be considered when contacting for these types of technologies. ...

PETER BROWN: All right. Welcome back. We are now going to go into sort of my favorite topic, my scariest topic, the one where I know all the questions and none of the answers. And where frankly, even our expert panel will tell you that there are some answers, but not a perfect answer. In the world of computer hacking. This is a topic of enormous concern to everyone from the smallest company and corporation to government entities, and particularly ...

PETER BROWN: Well, welcome back. It's terrific to see you all back here. For those of you not in San Francisco, the weather report this morning is sunny, bright, and typically cool. All of my friends when they say, oh, you're going to California to San Francisco, they think I should wear my t-shirts and shorts. Instead I wore my sweater and jacket, but it's still quite lovely and bright here in San Francisco this morning. And for those of you who ...

MARC S. ROTH: OK, I want to thank everybody for coming back into the room after the brief break. And now into the final session of the day, which I think most people are very anxious to hear about. I know I am. With respect to ethics in the electronic world, you always question whether or not, when you get an email in error, whether that little footer at the bottom that says, do not open this, do not read it under penalty of law, what the real implications ...

PETER BROWN: Ready? OK, we had a quick change. And we're ready to go. You never have to know anything about patent law, until it hits your client. And then you've all of a sudden got to be an expert on patent law. And the typical way that these issues arise is you're happily working at your corporate office. And the general counsel or the CEO of the company gets a nasty letter from an entity that they've never heard of who says if they own a patent ...

PETER BROWN: All right, students, let's get back together again. I hope you all had a good lunch. And for those at home I hope by now you're out of your pajamas, got a shower, and have also enjoyed a good lunch. We had a very lively set of programs this morning, a lot of very useful information. We hope to continue that this afternoon. As lawyers we can't avoid litigation. We're trying not to talk too much about it today. But litigation is part of ...

WILLIS J. GOLDSMITH: I hope everybody found someplace to eat-- not too hard in town. And welcome to the second half of the program. And as with the other presenters, I'm not going to go the bios which are in the materials. Again, we have two people, Michele Kaster, a plaintiff's lawyer, and Matt Lampe, my law partner-- and with whom I've worked since he was a summer associate-- on the defense side of this. Both virtually, full time Wage and Hour ...

Recorded on: Apr. 4, 2012

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 ...

SPEAKER 1: --a lot more knowledge. Let me now introduce our first two speakers, who will be talking about the transformational force of ebooks on the publishing industry.

She does a wide variety of technology and IP transactions involving complex strategic alliances, outsourcing for ...

WILLIS J. GOLDSMITH: OK, I think we're going to try to get under way. I don't know if Jordan can see us or not. Can you, Jordan? JORDAN A. THOMAS: I can see you. WILLIS J. GOLDSMITH: OK. Where are you? Oh, that camera. OK. Well at least for me, this is a little bit of an experiment. Jordan was unable to be with us so we're doing this in the high tech manner that is obvious to all of you. Jordan is behind Melissa and me. I don't know if he can-- ...

MARC S. ROTH: We'd like to thank everyone for coming back in the room. If anyone is out in the lobby and hallway please make your way back inside to the session. We'd like to get started and attempt to try to stay on track for timing here. I was introduced earlier. I'm Marc Roth I'm with Manatt Phelps and Phillips. I also want to introduce two of my colleagues and co-panelists for our Social Media Issues in Technology. Sitting to my immediate right ...

CLIFFORD E. KIRSCH: As I mentioned earlier, a lot of what we're trying to on this final session is talk about some practical considerations for broker-dealers, for advisers in this area. We're going to talk about what it means to be a muni adviser. Again, some of the practical, as I said, implementation issues, registering as an adviser and living as a muni adviser. Talk about your certain disclosure, hitting on some themes we've talked about in the ...
