This is a full-scope project in which the volunteer can take the case from start to finish. Depending on the circumstances of each case, cases can last for weeks, months or even years. Before you volunteer with this project, we ask that you attend this free MCLE training session.

This training will be given by JDC’s Supervising Attorneys who will go over the volunteer procedures as well as the forms for completing a simple divorce. The substantive portion of the training must be viewed ahead of time on the Practising Law Institute’s Web site.

Cybersecurity - November 6, 2014

Cybersecurity and The Road Ahead

Sponsored by ALM

Recent news coverage shows that no organization is free from cyber risks and serious data breaches. Corporate counsel across a variety of industries should be aware of those risks and the serious threats they pose. Each industry and company presents its own unique situation when it comes to evaluating and managing cybersecurity risks and data breaches and the preventive solutions it adopts must fit its particular needs.

This panel will offer an overview of trends and best practices across the field. Panelists will discuss emerging issues ranging from the security implications of new technologies, including the “Internet of Things,” to boardroom involvement in managing potential cyber risk and liability. The panel will also discuss new tools and services available to companies to identify, manage, and adopt and best practices to mitigate cyber threats and the legal exposure associated with them.

Topics will include:

Current and future cyber risks and liabilities.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (“NIST”) Cybersecurity Framework’s impact.
Emerging technologies and industries with implications for the cyber realm, such as connected vehicles and the Internet of Things.
Tools and services available to corporate counsel to mitigate and manage cyber and data breach risks.

Post-Election Voting Rights - November 6, 2014

Post-Election Voting Rights Breakdown Conference Call

Sponsored by the American Constitution Society

Join us for a call with Jon Greenbaum, Chief Counsel and Senior Deputy Director of the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under the Law. Jon will provide a recap of voting rights issues that arise out of the November elections.

From December 2003 to January 2010, Greenbaum served as the director of the Committee's Voting Rights Project, where he led its program to achieve equality and protect advances in voting rights for racial and ethnic minorities and other traditionally disfranchised groups. Highlights during his tenure included the Lawyers' Committee's leadership in Election Protection, the nation's leading nonpartisan voter protection program; the Committee's documentation of the record justifying reauthorization of the Voting Rights Act and the defense of the constitutionality of Section 5 of the Act in court; and groundbreaking litigation.

Prior to joining the Lawyers' Committee in 2003, he served as senior trial attorney in the Voting Section of the Civil Rights Division at the U.S. Department of Justice from 1997-2003. While at the Department of Justice, he instituted Voting Rights Act lawsuits on behalf of minority voters nationwide and educated government officials and community members on federal voting protections. From 1993-1996, he was a litigation associate in the Los Angeles office of Dewey Ballantine LLP.

Greenbaum received his law degree from the University of California at Los Angeles in 1993 and his undergraduate degree from the University of California at Berkeley in 1989.
