Limited Scope Representation - 1.50 units Ethics - August 4, 2015

Limited Scope Representation 2015: Ethical & Practical Challenges

Sponsored by Practising Law Institute

To respond to the access to justice crisis facing the legal system, the civil legal services community and the judiciary have partnered in the expansion of services based on limited scope representation. Information tables, drop-in legal clinics, websites and help lines are all models in which an attorney takes limited responsibility for a client’s case. Many of these models expand access by employing volunteer attorneys and law students to provide services on a “limited scope” basis. This program will address the ethical and practical issues and concerns arising from the diversification and expansion of this model of representation.

What You Will Learn

Update on ethical issues in limited scope representation, including competence, communications and the attorney-client relationship, candor before the tribunal and diminished capacity
Supervisory issues and best practices
Ethical and practical issues in helping the pro se litigant prepare pleadings and motions
Best practices in limited scope representation programs.

Title IX and Sexual Assault on Campus - Live in SF - August 4, 2015

Title IX and Sexual Assault on Campus

Sponsored by the American Constitution Society

The American Constitution Society is pleased to present a panel discussion addressing the difficult issue of Title IX and sexual assault in higher education. Since 2011, the Obama administration has taken an active role in the movement to end campus sexual assaults, including the formation of a Task Force on the issue, which released its first report in 2014. As part of this effort, the U.S. Department of Education has reinvigorated its enforcement of Title IX, issuing guidance letters and conducting investigations on a growing list of higher education institutions. In response, academic institutions have ramped up efforts to investigate sexual assaults and make their campuses safer. At the same time, however, some, including 28 Harvard Law School professors, have expressed concern that while stemming the epidemic of campus sexual assault is paramount, it is important to have fair processes and procedures in place to protect both the victim and the accused.

Our panel of experts, coming from an array of different backgrounds, will offer their thoughts and experiences in Title IX compliance and sexual assault investigations.

Speakers:

Jill Habig is a Special Assistant Attorney General in the California Attorney General's office, who advises the AG on issues of education and civil rights, including the collaboration of higher education personnel and law enforcement in the enforcement and investigation of sexual violence.
Kendra Fox-Davis is an Attorney in the San Francisco office of the Office of Civil Rights (OCR), where she investigates Title IX complaints on behalf of the U.S. Department of Education.
Dan Roth is a criminal defense attorney who has represented individuals in relation to Title IX sexual assault proceedings.
Moderator: Seth Grossman, Chief of Staff to University of California President Janet Napolitano.

Handling Terabytes of Data - Ethics - August 6, 2015

Making a Molehill Out of a Mountain: Tips for Handling Terabytes of Data

Sponsored by Bloomberg BNA and Catalyst

Two of the key goals for companies involved in litigation and responding to e-discovery requests are identifying the information that is relevant to understanding the case and identifying the information that is responsive to the opponent’s production requests. This webinar will discuss strategies that should help a litigant accomplish these goals while minimizing the costs and burdens associated with managing a large volume of data.

Using early case assessment tools and review workflow techniques, the case team may be able to prioritize the review and production, reducing the massive volume of data to a more manageable level, and thereby reducing time and cost.

Educational Objectives:

An attendee of this webinar can expect to learn:
• Ways to identify relevant data sources;
• Techniques for identifying potentially responsive data;
• A description of new technologies and how to use data analytics tools, such as “technology assisted review;”
• Considerations in selecting an e-discovery partner/vendor;
• Suggestions for good practices, including documentation and cooperation.
