Judicial Standing Orders: AI to Z - February 28, 2024

Judicial Standing Orders: AI to Z

Sponsored by Bloomberg Law

According to a 2023 study, nearly 75% of active federal judges have one or more judicial standing orders, with most applying to civil cases. But has this growing use of standing orders contributed to an increasingly decentralized regulatory scheme, and are they well suited to address broader technological changes impacting the practice of law?  The panel of legal experts will examine the evolution of standing orders, the impact of generative AI, and the ethical considerations – with insights into the role of legal education and proposed regulatory enhancements.

Speakers include:

• Hon. (Ret.) Paul Grimm, Duke Law
• Hon. (Ret.) Katherine Forrest, Paul Weiss
• Judge Robin Rosenberg, Southern Dist., Florida

Foreign Investment Transactions - March 27, 2024

Security Review of Foreign Investment Transactions

Sponsored by LexisNexis

While bipartisan legislative successes have been few and far between in our highly-charged political environment, a general consensus on the need to provide a stronger framework for reviewing foreign investment in US companies led to the passage of the Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act (‘FIRRMA’) in the summer of 2018. The issuance of a final rule in January 2020 implementing FIRRMA subsequently crystallized the process for CFIUS review of inbound transactions.   This seminar will review the landscape leading to FIRRMA.
