Premier of Ontario - Premier ministre de l’Ontario 

A PERSONAL MESSAGE FROM THE PREMIER 

On behalf of the Government of Ontario, I am delighted to extend 

warm greetings to everyone attending the annual meeting of the 

American Bar Association (ABA). 

Ensuring fairness and justice for all citizens is one of the fundamental 

principles of a democratic society. The ABA’s annual meeting allows 

law professionals to participate in stimulating and thought-provoking 

information sessions and discuss important and timely issues in the 

field of justice. As well, it provides members with professional 

development opportunities and the chance to network with lawyers 

and judges from around the world. 

As Premier of Ontario, and having practised law, I am honoured that 

the ABA has chosen Toronto as the host city for this year’s meeting. 

If this is your first time in Toronto or if you are a returning visitor — 

welcome to the provincial capital! I hope you find the time to enjoy 

some of the outstanding attractions and unique events the city has 

to offer. 

Please accept my sincere best wishes for a productive and enjoyable 

meeting. 

Dalton McGuinty

Premier of Ontario - Premier ministre de l’Ontario 

MESSAGE DU PREMIER MINISTRE DE L’ONTARIO 

Au nom du gouvernement de l’Ontario, j’aimerais transmettre mes plus 

chaleureuses salutations aux participants et participantes à l’assemblée 

annuelle de l’American Bar Association (ABA). 

L’équité et la justice pour tous les citoyens et citoyennes sont deux des 

principes fondamentaux sur lesquels repose une société démocratique. 

Par le biais de cette assemblée, les professionnels du droit auront 

l’occasion de participer à des séances d’information stimulantes et 

fructueuses et de discuter de questions importantes et d’actualité dans 

le domaine de la justice. En outre, les membres de l’ABA auront la 

possibilité de participer à des activités de perfectionnement 

professionnel et d’établir des contacts avec d’autres avocats et 

avocates et des juges de partout dans le monde. 

À titre de premier ministre de l’Ontario, et ayant moi-même pratiqué le 

droit, je me réjouis que l’ABA ait choisi Toronto pour accueillir 

l’assemblée de cette année. À tous ceux et celles dont c’est la 

première visite à Toronto, ou qui y reviennent : « Bienvenue dans la 

capitale provinciale! »! J’espère que vous trouverez le temps de tirer 

avantage de ce que la ville a de plus beau à vous offrir. 

Je vous souhaite une assemblée agréable et instructive. 

Le premier ministre de l’Ontario, 

Dalton McGuinty

Each year members and their families attend the 

ABA Annual Meeting for six days of programs, 

meetings, sightseeing, social events and meetings 

of the ABA’s governing and policy-making

Delegates. 

Participants choose from 1,424 events, including some 

200 continuing legal education programs. The EXPO 

features more than 100 exhibitors. 

The Annual Meeting experience can be overwhelming, 

whether it’s your first meeting or your tenth. This Program 

will be an important tool to help you navigate your way 

through the week. Be sure to read “How to Use This 

Program” on page 3. We’ve organized the information 

in several ways, and this page should help you find 

your events by date and time, by topic, by sponsor or 

by speaker. This General Information chapter includes 

details about hotels, registration, ticket sales, CLE 

information, transportation and entertainment. 

We suggest that you begin by skimming through the 

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) on page 22. 

Then, take a look at the General Information Table of 

Contents on this page to find the sections that address 

your specific questions. If you still have questions, turn

General Information 

Think Green 

The American Bar Association is committed to working 

to reduce the impact of our Annual Meeting on the 

environment. To accomplish this goal we have set in 

place a number of initiatives. 

The 2011 Annual Meeting registration will be 

handled by Electronic Will Call. In an effort to 

conserve on paper, ink, equipment and shipping, 

the ABA will print attendee packets, including 

badges, tickets, etc. on demand as attendees 

arrive, which will eliminate excess printing of 

materials. 

The ABA registration bags are made from nonwoven 

polypropylene and are 100% recyclable 

and reusable. The non-woven material is nonallergenic, 

non-toxic and non-corrosive, making it 

safe for people and the environment. 

An environmentally responsible “Green” Metro 

Toronto Convention Centre has an aggressive 

waste reduction program. Clearly marked 3-part 

waste, can/bottle & paper/receptacles are 

conveniently located throughout the Centre. There 

are light sensors in meeting rooms and emergency 

stairwells to reduce electrical waste. 

Excess food will be donated to a local food 

depository. 

We have selected a print partner who shares our 

commitment to protecting the environment. Our 

print partner is FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) 

certified and does their part by using soy-based 

links and water-based coatings, recycling plates 

and paper waste, using alcohol-free chemicals on 

press and offering recycled paper products. 

Collection boxes are provided for plastic name 

badge holders to be recycled. 

We will collect and store any unused/excess 

printed material for recycling.

Services, an Association program division providing staff support and expertise for attorney-sponsored programs 

and activities that lend focus, voice and visibility to the Association's public services role. Staff from the Division

Sexual Orientation & Gender Identity, and Commission on Women in the Profession. Goal III entities will provide 

information and resources on numerous diversity and inclusion efforts within the ABA, legal profession, social

Frequently Asked Questions 

FAQ 

Where can I find general information? 

There is an ABA Information Concierge in Metro Toronto Convention Centre, Exhibit Hall E, 800 Level, South 

Building, where staff will be available to answer your questions. 

Can I buy tickets if I haven’t purchased them in advance? 

The ABA Ticket Desk in Metro Toronto Convention Centre, Exhibit Hall E, 800 Level, South Building sells tickets 

to most Section events. If you are unable to purchase tickets in advance, go to the ABA Ticket Desk as soon 

as possible. Some Sections also may sell tickets at Section offices located in their headquarter hotels. Section 

offices and phone numbers, when available, are listed in this chapter, as well as in the Section’s chapter of this 

program. If a Section does not list an office or a phone number in the program, call or visit the Division Offices 

where you will be given instructions on how to reach the appropriate Section staff person. 

Do I need to purchase a ticket to an event that includes a breakfast or a lunch? If so, can I 

do so at the door? 

In many cases, you will have to purchase a ticket. Visit the ABA Ticket Desk or the appropriate Section office to 

find out. If a ticket is required, it is recommended that you purchase it in advance. Hotels usually require meal 

guarantees at least 72 hours prior to the function, so last-minute additions may not be possible. Cancellations 

sometimes occur, so contact the appropriate Section office or the ABA Ticket Desk to inquire. 

May I bring my kids to receptions and dinners? 

Children usually are welcome to attend these evening events, and often there is a lower-priced youth ticket. For 

information on special deals for kids for Section-sponsored events, contact the Section office. For ABA-wide 

events, see the Tours and Special Events Program, or stop by the ABA Ticket Desk. Children are welcome at the 

President’s Reception but will require a ticket for admission. Tickets for children under the age of 18 are $25; 

tickets for young adults age 18 and over are $50. The President’s Reception takes place on Saturday evening 

after the Opening Assembly. 

May I attend Section meetings if I am not a Section member? 

The ABA has an open meeting policy. Occasionally a Section Executive Council or other body has an executive 

or private meeting, but most Section Committee meetings are small and informal. If you’d like to sit in on a 

meeting, just introduce yourself and take a seat! 

Which receptions may I attend? 

Receptions listed in this program and sponsored by an ABA entity generally are open to all entity members, 

unless it is specified for a special group, such as a Section council or committee. Everyone is invited and 

encouraged to attend the President’s Reception on Saturday evening. Tickets for children under 18 are $25; 

tickets for registrants and guests age 18 and over are $50. Other organizations sponsor receptions, too, and 

you may be welcome whether or not you are a member. Look for the word “open” in the reception description. 

Some receptions are free; others require a ticket. For information about receptions, phone the sponsoring 

entity’s office.

Frequently Asked Questions 

(continued) 

What should I expect to find at the ABA EXPO? 

The ABA EXPO, open Thursday, August 4, at 10:00 a.m., is where you will find representatives from every type 

of company or organization that services the legal profession. Come visit one of the many exhibits showcasing the 

latest in communications, computer hardware/software, financial services and legal publishing. Representatives 

from a variety of travel suppliers including hotels, airlines, cruise lines, destinations and more are all conveniently 

located together in the "Travel Isle." Winners for the many wonderful prizes courtesy of the travel suppliers will 

be drawn hourly during Expo hours. 

What are the official days of the Annual Meeting? 

The official days of the 2011 ABA Annual Meeting are Thursday, August 4th, through Tuesday, August 9th. 

Is the meeting format the same as last year? 

Yes. On-site member registration now starts at $320. Purchasing CLE at the 2011 Annual Meeting is easier than 

ever. Annual meeting attendees can purchase an All-Access badge for a fee of $670 (which includes registration). 

That badge can be used for admittance to governance meetings, non-CLE programs and all CLE programs at the 

Annual Meeting, including those in the ABA CLE Centre and at the satellite hotels. Members whose primary focus 

at the Annual Meeting is governance, and who may only be able to attend a few CLE programs, may register for 

the Meeting for a fee of $320. The fee includes admittance to all governance and non-CLE programs. In addition, 

they may purchase individual program tickets for $90 each. Discounted program tickets will be available to 

government lawyers, judges, and solo practitioners for $35. Law Student attendees will be admitted to all CLE 

programs at no additional charge. 

What does “pay for programs” mean? 

CLE-accredited programs may have fees for admission. Standard admission price is $90. Discounted tickets are 

$35 as described above. Some CLE programs are complimentary and will be indicated as such in the program 

description. 

How does a registrant purchase CLE tickets? 

CLE tickets may be purchased in advance via the registration process, on-site at ABA Registration in Metro Toronto 

Convention Centre, Exhibit Hall E, 800 Level, South Building, or on-site at Section hotels, if the Section chooses to 

arrange satellite ticket sales. 

Who may purchase CLE tickets? 

Only professional registrants (not spouses, guests or children) may purchase and use CLE tickets. These tickets will 

be bar-coded with the registrant’s ID number. 

Is there a set fee for CLE Programs? 

No, some CLE programs will be offered complimentary. Other programs will be priced at $90 per program. 

(Government lawyers, judges, and solo practitioners pay $35.) CLE pricing will be listed under the primary 

sponsor. 

May I buy a CLE ticket without registering for the Annual Meeting? 

No, you may only purchase CLE tickets if you are registered for the meeting. 

What is the ALL-ACCESS CLE BADGE? 

Annual Meeting attendees can purchase an All-Access Badge for a fee starting at $670 (which includes 

registration). That badge can be used for admittance to governance meetings, non-CLE programs and all CLE 

programs at the Annual Meeting, including those in the ABA CLE Centre and at the satellite hotels. 

Reporting Credit Hours 

If you need to report your credit hours to the State Bar of Texas, you will need the 9-digit Texas Course ID number, which 

should be available by mid-September by calling the ABA Service Center at 1-800-285-2221. Please also reference

ABA Fund for Justice and Education 

Jennifer’s Story… 

At 18, Jennifer Rodriguez “aged out” of the foster care system 

and was forced to leave her group home. Facing the world with 

no money, no high school diploma, no job skills, and no home, 

Jennifer’s prospects were bleak. 

Jennifer’s story is not unique. Over 500,000 children and 

young adults live in foster care every year. Upon aging out 

of the system at 18, more than half will be unemployed, 

almost a third will experience homelessness, and 

one in five will be incarcerated within two years. 

The ABA Permanency Barriers Project, a program 

of the ABA Center on Children and the Law, 

works in over 30 locations across the country 

helping children achieve permanency more 

quickly and saving states on foster care expenses. 

Serving Justice, 

Helping People 

The ABA Fund for Justice and Education is a 501(c)(3) 

charitable fund that supports the public service 

and educational programs of the American Bar 

Association. 

Today, the ABA Fund for Justice and Education 

supports over 200 ABA programs, like the 

Permanency Barriers Project, that protect our 

nation’s youth, defend the rights of the elderly, 

improve the judicial system, and promote equal 

access to justice for all individuals.

ABA Medal 

David Boies Theodore B. Olson 

David Boies of New York and Theodore B. Olson of Washington, DC have been selected as joint 

recipients of the 2011 ABA Medal, which will be awarded Monday, August 8 during the meeting of 

the House of Delegates. Currently Chairman of the law firm of Boies, Schiller & Flexner LLP, Mr. Boies 

previously served as Chief Counsel and Staff Director of the United States Senate Antitrust Subcommittee 

and as Chief Counsel and Staff Director of the United States Senate Judiciary Committee. Mr. Olson, 

a partner at the law firm Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, was formerly Solicitor General of the United States 

and Assistant Attorney General in charge of the Office of Legal Counsel in the U.S. Department of 

Justice. Many persons will remember them as adversaries in the United States Supreme Court case 

Bush v. Gore. However, they have also worked together on some of the most significant legal issues 

of our time, most recently in Perry v. Schwarzenegger and as Co-Chairs of the ABA Task Force on 

Preservation of the Justice System. The ABA Medal is awarded for conspicuous service in the cause of 

American jurisprudence and is the highest award given by the Association.

Board of Governors 

The Board of Governors is authorized to perform, 

not inconsistently with action taken by the House, 

the functions that the House itself might perform. The 

Board develops methods and plans for making the 

Association and its activities useful to the members in 

their professional work and administers the facilities and 

staff of the Association. It is charged with the formulation 

and administration of the Association’s budget and

How to Get the Most MCLE Credits 

CLE Information 

Questions? 

Phone: 416-585-3793 

New This Year! All ABA Annual Meeting CLE programs will have scanners. The purpose of the 

scanner is to record the number of attendees at each program. The ABA CLE Scanners are for internal 

attendance tracking only and do not satisfy your State CLE Reporting Requirements. Please see 

information below. 

Canadian Continuing Professional Development (CPD) credit has been requested for ABA Annual Meeting 

CLE programs. British Columbia, Ontario and Quebec lawyers reporting ABA Annual Meeting CPD credit must retain their ABA Annual 

Meeting Registration Confirmation and all ABA Certificates of Attendance for their records. 

Accreditation for Minimum (Mandatory) CLE Jurisdictions 

> In both the chronological calendar and the sponsor chapters of this program book, look for the M symbol. This symbol 

indicates that MCLE credit has been requested for the program session. Program sessions marked E are ethics-requested 

program sessions. 

> MCLE accreditation has been requested from most states with mandatory CLE requirements for licensed attorneys. Please 

be aware that each state has its own rules and regulations indicating what qualifies for CLE and ethics credits. Therefore, 

certain program sessions may not receive credit in some states. Check with your state for confirmation of a program 

session’s approval. Attorneys seeking to obtain MCLE credit in Louisiana and/or Pennsylvania will be required to pay state 

accreditation fees directly to these states. 

> There will be one (1) MCLE booth located in Registration at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, Exhibit Hall E, 

800 Level, South Building. 

Uniform Certificate of Attendance 

> All program participants—including speakers/moderators/panelists—seeking CLE credit (except New York licensed 

attendees) must take one Uniform Certificate of Attendance from each primary sponsor whose CLE program sessions 

you attend. If you do not see one, ask for one. (New York licensed attendees please see instructions below for NEW 

YORK ATTENDEES.) 

> Each primary Section sponsor has one Uniform Certificate listing all its CLE program sessions. 

> Track your attendance with the Uniform Certificates. 

> Complete the Attorney portion of each Uniform Certificate. Fill in your State Bar Membership, Registration or Supreme 

Court ID Number. 

> Complete one Uniform Certificate per primary sponsor for each state to which you are required to 

report. 

> Send in your completed Uniform Certificates to your MCLE state agency if you are licensed in any of the following states: 

AR, CO, FL, GA, ID, IN, KS, KY, LA, ME, MS, NV, NM, ND, OH, PA, RI, TN, VA, WV and WY. (Send to PA and LA with the 

required fees. See PENNSYLVANIA ATTENDEES on page 33 and contact Louisiana for its dollar amount.) 

> Retain a copy of each Uniform Certificate for your records. 

> Do not return any Uniform Certificates of Attendance to the ABA. 

CLE Course Attendance Form* 

> Complete the CLE Course Attendance Form using the information found on either your Uniform Certificate(s) of Attendance 

(see above) or your New York Certificate(s) of Attendance. (If you cannot find a Uniform Certificate, ask the Section 

representative for one.) (See instructions on page 33 for NEW YORK ATTENDEES.) 

> The Course Attendance Form allows you to report attendance for up to twenty sessions. You can get the form from a 

section representative. (Additional Forms can be obtained only from designated Registration and MCLE staff.) Please fill 

in your name, address, city, state and zip code. Then fill in your State Bar Membership, Registration or Supreme Court ID 

number and the state(s) registered. Complete the reverse side of the form. Please return the CLE Course Attendance Form to 

one of the following locations: Section Staff or MCLE Booth. 

> Failure to return this form to the ABA may result in a state's denial of CLE credits for the sessions you attended. 

* This form will not be sent to the state regulators. It is maintained for the attendance verification at ABA's 

annual meetings. 

1) Drop off the form at an MCLE Information Booth or your primary Section sponsor’s registration/information area. 

2) Mail the form to the ABA Center for CLE, MCLE Unit, Attn: Annual Meeting, 321 North Clark, 19th Floor, Chicago, IL 

60654, postmarked no later than Sept. 1, 2011. 

3) Email the form to MCLE@americanbar.org by Sept. 1, 2011.


(continued) 

Computing MCLE Credits On the Uniform Certificate of Attendance 

> The following instructions do not apply to New York Certificates of Attendance. (See instructions below for NEW YORK 

ATTENDEES.) 

> Group your Uniform Certificates by primary sponsor indicated on the top of the Uniform Certificate. 

> Add up total minutes attended per primary sponsor. 

> Divide that total by either 60 or 50, depending on the state in which you are licensed. (See “ARE YOU LICENSED…?”) 

> If your state has other special instructions for you to follow, these will be posted at the MCLE Information Booth. 

> Enter the total number of credit hours for that primary sponsor’s program sessions at the bottom of the Uniform 

Certificate. 

Are You Licensed in a 60-Minute or a 50-Minute State? 

> 60-minute states are: AK, AL, AZ, AR, BC, CA, DE, GA, IA, ID, IL, IN, KY, LA, ME, MN, MS, MT, NH, NM, NV, NC, 

ND, OH, OR, PA, PR, QC, SC, TN, TX, UT, VA, VT, WA and WY. 

> 50-minute states are: CO, FL, KS, MO, NY, OK, RI, WV, WI, and Guam, VI. 

Texas Attendees 

> Complete ONLY ONE (1) State Bar of Texas CLE Course Attendance Form—including all CLE program sessions you 

attended—to report the total number of credits claimed for the entire Annual Meeting. 

> From your Uniform Certificate(s) of Attendance, add the number of CLE program session minutes for all program sessions 

attended and divide by 60 to obtain your total number of credits. (Remember to write “ABA 2011 Annual Meeting” as 

the title of the CLE Activity on the Texas card.) 

> Before leaving, turn in ONLY ONE (1) completed card to an ABA Section or Information Booth representative. If you 

leave without returning your Texas card, the ABA cannot be responsible for reporting your CLE credits. 

> The ABA will report TX attendance 30 days after the date of the program. 

> If you need to report your credit hours to the State Bar of Texas yourself, you will need the nine-digit Texas Course ID 

number which should be available by mid-September by calling the ABA Service Center at 1-800-285-2221. 

Illinois Attendees 

> IL licensed attorneys are required to sign in for each session attended on the IL sign-in sheets for ABA CLE reporting 

purposes. This form will be located in the back of each meeting room. This procedure is for Annual Meeting CLE only. 

Pennsylvania Attendees 

> All attorneys seeking Pennsylvania CLE credit need to complete one “Pennsylvania CLE Credit Request Form.” 

Completion of the Attorney Information block (Section B) is mandatory. 

> Attorneys should pick up Uniform Certificates of Attendance for all CLE program sessions attended, i.e., one Uniform 

Certificate of Attendance from each ABA sponsoring Section or Entity. 

> Attorneys must pay $1.50 per credit hour, with checks made payable to “PACLE” (Pennsylvania CLE). The $1.50 per 

credit hour fee also is required for half-hour increments. For example, if the person attends between 4.5 to 5.0 hours, the 

total fees to be paid to PACLE would be $7.50. Mail the “Pennsylvania CLE Credit Request Form,” Uniform Certificate(s) 

of Attendance and fees to the address on the form. 

New York Attendees 

> The New York State CLE Board has mandated that all New York licensed attorneys, including speakers, sign both in and 

out of each CLE program session attended in order to receive CLE credit. 

> A special “FOR NEW YORK ATTORNEYS ONLY” attendance sheet will be available at each CLE program session. 

> Please look for the sign which reads: ATTENTION—NEW YORK ATTORNEYS MUST SIGN IN AND OUT OF SESSIONS 

TO RECEIVE CLE CREDIT IN NEW YORK STATE. 

> As you sign out, an ABA sponsor staff person will verify your attendance and issue the appropriate, complete and 

signed, New York Certificate of Attendance. If the New York Certificate of Attendance is not available onsite, one sent to 

you within 60 days upon verification of attendance via the New York Attendance sign-in sheet. 

> Keep the “Attorney Copy” of the New York Certificate for four (4) years and use it as reference when completing your 

Reporting Affidavit. 

> Do not take the “Sponsor Copy” or “MCLE Copy” (yellow and pink copies). Leave these copies with the ABA program 

sponsor. 

Delaware Attendees are not required to sign in for the ABA Annual Meeting.

and the director of the Administrative Office of the 

U.S. Courts are members of the House by virtue of 

their offices. The House elects Association officers and 

members of the Board of Governors and formulates 

the policy of the Association. 

The House of Delegates will meet on Monday, 

August 8, beginning at 8:30 a.m. and recessing at 

approximately 5:00 p.m. On Tuesday, August 9, the 

meeting will begin at 8:30 a.m., and adjourn when 

the House has concluded its agenda. The meeting will 

be held in the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. Linda 

A. Klein, Chair of the House of Delegates, will preside. 

The House Committee on Rules and Calendar, chaired 

by Palmer Gene Vance, will hold open hearings on 

Saturday, August 6, and Sunday, August 7, from 

2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. in the Territories Room Main 

Mezzanine Level, Fairmont Royal York. 

The House Nominating Committee will meet on 

Sunday, August 7, at 9:00 a.m. in the Concert 

Hall, Convention Floor at the Fairmont Royal York. 

Immediately following the Business Session, the 

Nominating Committee will sponsor the Meet the 

Candidates Forum at approximately 9:30 a.m. in the 

same room. 

Six Delegates-at-Large are elected at each Annual 

Meeting to serve a three-year term in the House 

of Delegates. Any member of the Association is 

eligible to be a Delegate-at-Large, although of the 

six elected each year, no two may be accredited to 

the same state, territory or possession. Nominations 

for Delegates-at-Large are made by written petition. 

All ABA lawyer members who have registered at the 

Annual Meeting are entitled to vote for Delegatesat-Large. 

Voting will commence on Thursday, 

August 4, and continue until 5:00 p.m. on Monday, 

August 8, in the registration area in the Exhibit Hall 

E, 800 Level, South Building, of the Metro Toronto 

Convention Centre. The polls will be open during the 

following hours: 






Votes will be tallied electronically, and the six 

candidates with the highest number of votes (taking 

into account that no more than one may be elected 

from the same state, territory or possession) will be 

declared elected. In the event of a tie, the Secretary 

will determine the winner by lot. 

It is important that members who have not registered 

in advance do so promptly upon arrival; otherwise, 

their names will not be included in the supplemental 

registration list. Members of the House of Delegates 

will be able to sign the House Roster at the Delegate-at- 

Large Voting Booth located in the registration area. The 

House Roster will be available at this location during 

the hours of registration, until 8:30 a.m. on Monday,

Delegates in the Exhibit Hall F/G, 800 Level, South 

Building, of the Metro Toronto Convention Centre.

Association Committees, consisting of Association 

members appointed by the President, are either Standing 

Committees or Special Committees, depending on the 

probable duration of the committee’s work. Standing 

Committees, which normally consist of seven members, 

are created to investigate and study issues of continuing 

or recurring importance to the purpose or business of the 

Association. The Association presently has 37 Standing 

Committees, including Continuing Education of the Bar, 

Ethics and Professional Responsibility, Federal Judiciary, 

Legal Aid and Indigent Defendants, and Professional 

Discipline. 

committees 

Special Committees and Commissions may be created by 

HOD resolution. Special Committees and Commissions 

investigate and study specific issues of immediate or 

nonrecurring concern to the purpose or business of the 

Association. Special Committees normally consist of five to 

nine members and are appointed on a year-to-year basis. 

They address areas of activity such as criminal justice 

improvements, immigration law and medical professional 

liability. The number of members of a Commission shall 

be designated by the resolution creating it. Examples 

include the Commission on Responsibility in Client 

Development, on Legal Problems of the Elderly, and on 

Lawyer Assistance Programs.

Can Bank On: Update on Trust 

Account Regulation 



Every lawyer who is entrusted with client 

funds is presumed to know the ethical 

rules governing trust fund management. 

Trust account violations are often the result 

of a lack of knowledge and training. 

To help lawyers be better lawyers, the 

program will update lawyers on the 

changes contained in the new ABA 

Model Rules on Client Trust Account 

Records. Changes in banking laws and 

banking practices require that lawyers 

re-think the way they maintain client trust 

accounts.

MCGetting on the Rolls: A 

Comparative Look at Voter 

Registration Models in Canada 



Building 

The right to vote is the linchpin of a 

successful democracy. An efficient and 

reliable voter registration system is the 

foundation upon which the electoral 

process rests. The goal is to register 

everyone who is eligible - and to prevent 

the registration of anyone who is not. 

Please join our panel of international 

experts as they engage in a comparative 

discussion of the Canadian and U.S. 

systems of voter registration - to put it 

succinctly, a national registry database in 

Canada versus self-initiated registration 

in the United States. We will also touch 

upon the related issue of voter ID: Is 

it necessary or advisable? What is its 

purpose - and what kinds of documents 

would serve that purpose? Do ID 

requirements disenfranchise particular 

segments of the population? We look 

forward to a lively discussion, as well as 

audience participation.

MCThe Future of Gun Control in 

the United States After the Heller 

and McDonald Cases, with a 

Canadian Perspective on Gun 

Control Issues 



The Supreme Court’s decisions in District 

of Colombia v. Heller and McDonald v. 

City of Chicago, Illinois, have created 

new uncertainty about the extent to which 

possession of guns can be regulated by 

both the federal and state governments in 

the United States. While the Court held

that the Second Amendment protects a 

person’s right to possess a firearm for 

self-defense within the home, the limits 

of the right remain unclear. What is the 

range of persons who can be prohibited 

from possessing handguns? What other 

places beyond schools and government 

buildings can possession of handguns 

be prohibited? The panel will discuss 

the extent to which the federal and state 

governments can, with constitutional 

limits, place restrictions on firearm 

possession in the United States, as well 

as provide the Canadian experience 

concerning the efforts to control gun 

violence, the measures Canadian and 

provincial governments have enacted, 

and the extent to which they have been 

successful in controlling gun violence.

MCForeign Espionage Targets the 

Private Sector: The Cybersecurity 

Threat from Nation States 


Building 

The interactive panel discussion will 

focus on the cybersecurity threat to the 

private sector originating from foreign 

governments, distinct from organized 

crime or other hackers. GhostNet, 

discovered in 2009, has infiltrated 

computer systems and has stolen 

documents from hundreds of private 

offices around the world. Google’s 

announcement of infiltration in 2010, was 

called a “watershed moment in the cyber 

war.” Researchers in Toronto believed 

the GhostNet system was controlled by 

computers based exclusively in China. 

Since its discovery, GhostNet has not 

only attacked the private sector, but other 

government networks, including Canadian 

official financial departments in early

Committees

2011, forcing them off-line. Panelists from 

the private sector, the legal arena and the 

government both in the United States and 

Canada will discuss the nature of cyber 

threats, how it differs from other cyber 

attacks, and the respective roles of the 

government, the private sector and the 

lawyer in addressing it.

MCHealthcare Reform and 

Medical Malpractice Law: How 

Canada Balances Patient Rights, 

Physician Interests, and System 

Costs 



Health care reform has reinvigorated 

discussion of patient safety, patient 

rights, and health care costs. Related 

questions arise on how systemic changes 

in the delivery and payment of health 

care might affect medical professional 

liability. As the United States transitions to 

new health care models, a comparative 

look at how the Canadian health care 

system addresses these issues is very 

timely. The panel will address a range of 

Canadian practices, including its singlepayer 

model, how pharmaceutical and 

medical devices are handled, how patient 

safety and rights are advanced, medical 

professional liability insurance and tort 

law practices, and the associated costs 

of pursuing and defending malpractice 

claims. The panel will discuss the 

intersection of these issues, how they 

relate to US laws and practices, and how 

the legal profession and legal system 

can ensure patient safety and rights are 

promoted and advanced as health care 

systems undertake change.

MCThe Impact of Budget 

Reductions on State and Local 

Drug Control and Criminal Justice 

Programs—Time for a New 

Paradigm? 


Building 

The program will examine the future of 

state and local judicial administration, 

and drug control efforts in particular, in 

the face of a long-term decline in Federal, 

State and local budgets, and examine the 

potential important role of the ABA and 

other national organizations in response. 

A reduction in public expenditures for 

drug control is a paradigm shift after 

25 years of strong Federal support 

for state and local drug control efforts 

as part of the National Drug Control 

Strategy. In the face of declining Federal 

support for state and local drug control 

efforts, should state and local authorities 

engage in greater policy experimentation 

with locally-fashioned drug control 

programs—becoming laboratories 

of social experimentation, as Justice 

Brandies observed in his dissent in New 

State Ice Co. v. Liebman? Some of these 

experiments may conflict with Federal law 

and policy, which may also be examined. 

Do the Tenth Amendment and Section 

903 of the Controlled Substances Act 

provide the states with a “safe harbor” to 

experiment in drug policy in the absence 

of a direct conflict with Federal law? If so, 

how big is that harbor? Does the absence 

of Federal support give more flexibility 

to states? Please join our national panel 

of experts as they address the impact of 

declining Federal support on topics such 

as state and local criminal justice; drug 

treatment and drug prevention systems; 

courts and drug courts; and legal aid and 

public defender services.

Issues of Interface with Canadian 

and U.S. Law and Collective 

Bargaining in the Public Sector 


Building 

This presentation will trace the 

development and current status of 

collective bargaining in the public 

sectors in Canada and the United States. 

Opening remarks will place this subject 

in the context of collective bargaining 

generally and address the question 

of why, on a per capita basis, nearly 

twice as many workers are organized 

in Canada as in the United States. The 

presentation will also illustrate how 

Law Library of Congress resources and 

services can support a wide range of 

research needs of ABA members. Special 

emphasis will be placed on the major 

differences that exist at the federal levels 

of government, but relevant state and 

provincial laws will also be identified. 

Issues to be discussed will include right 

to work laws, bargaining unit employees, 

grievances and remedies, military 

personnel, excluded parties, managementlabor 

contracts, and certification. Reforms, 

both enacted and proposed, will be 

contrasted. This presentation will provide 

an exemplar of how the collections of the 

laws of over 240 non-U.S. jurisdictions 

and staff expertise at the Law Library of 

Congress might be used by members of 

the practicing bar to address research 

questions of foreign, international and 

comparative law. It will touch upon the 

Library’s Thomas database which covers 

U.S. legislative information.

HIV Testing 

Room 706 and 712, 700 Level, 

MTCC, South Building 

June 2011 marked the 30th anniversary 

of the first AIDS cases identified in the 

United States. Since then, more than 

575,000 Americans have died of AIDS 

and more than one million are HIVpositive 

today. An estimated 20 percent 

of those infected do not know they have 

HIV—a startling figure that makes public 

education initiatives about the importance 

of HIV testing all the more urgent. The 

modern epidemic disproportionately 

affects minority communities with limited 

access to health care and other services 

that can enhance HIV prevention. Stigma 

and discrimination surrounding HIV/AIDS 

remain serious barriers to prevention 

as well, and HIV is spreading fastest in 

the South. In response, the ABA AIDS 

Coordinating Committee will offer free, 

confidential HIV testing to all Annual 

Meeting participants, in cooperation 

with a certified local testing provider, 

as a public education initiative. Testing 

will be by quick and painless oral swab 

with rapid results and no appointment 

necessary. So, stop by and stand up for

Youth Homelessness and Legal 

Interventions: An International 

Research Perspective 

King Ballroom II, Convention Level, 

Hyatt Regency Toronto 

One of the manifestations of the 

homelessness crisis over the past 

several decades is the growth in youth 

homelessness. The legal response to youth 

homelessness varies. In some jurisdictions, 

robust responses have developed that 

focus on preventive strategies and 

effective efforts to move young people 

out of homelessness. In other cases 

- in particular, the United States and 

Canada - there has been insufficient 

investment in an effective response 

to youth homelessness, and a lack of 

acknowledgement that the causes of 

youth homelessness and the appropriate 

interventions required, are distinct from 

those associated with adult homelessness. 

Some jurisdictions have responded with 

social exclusionary measures that have 

sought to restrict the rights of young 

homeless people to occupy and inhabit 

public spaces through the enactment 

of specific laws targeting the homeless 

and policing practices (including private 

security) such as ticketing, charges for 

misdemeanors, “stop and searches”, etc. 

Imprisonment becomes an increasingly 

common experience for homeless 

youth, and conversely, lack of effective 

discharge planning and supports may 

produce homelessness for young people 

who are in foster care or who are 

incarcerated. In this session we present 

leading international research that 

explores the policy context and outcomes 

of the different legal approaches to youth 

homelessness and the demonstrable 

consequences of different policies and 

practices.

MLawyering For Homeless Youth 

Throughout The Globe: Best 

Practices in Representation and 

Emerging Model Laws 



Homeless youth are minors and young 

adults who lack basic needs and stable 

housing and are found throughout the 

world. Innovative pro bono and legal 

service programs offer representation 

to meet the unmet legal needs of youth. 

Panelists will review opportunities 

for lawyers to engage and represent 

homeless youth in matters related to 

a variety of criminal and civil matters. 

Additionally, lawyers can learn how 

to use their position and knowledge 

to further public policy to end youth 

homelessness. Expert panel members 

will review emerging trends in local and 

international public policy advocacy and 

offer suggestions on how the private bar 

may support an international movement to 

abate youth homelessness.

Building 

Collaborative Justice Courts promote 

accountability and success by combining 

judicial supervision with communitybased 

treatment and services focused on 

addressing the underlying behavior or 

circumstances that prompted the criminal 

offense. These problem-solving courts 

recognize the high costs and limitations of 

the traditional criminal justice system and 

seek to utilize community-based resources 

to promote public safety and productive, 

law-abiding citizens. Panelists will discuss 

how model court programs in Canada 

and the U.S. are maximizing limited 

resources through collaborative efforts 

to effectively address otherwise costly 

social problems such as homelessness 

and mental illness such as PTSD, as well 

as how to galvanize community efforts 

to launch a collaborative justice court 

in your jurisdiction. Restorative justice 

models including Toronto’s Gladue Courts 

for aboriginal offenders will also be 

discussed.

Path Ahead 



Recent calls to end birthright citizenship 

in the United States have fueled a heated 

debate. What impact would changes 

to our current birthright citizenship 

rule have on immigration and the U.S. 

(continued) 

population? Is there any legal basis for 

such a change, and what are the greater 

societal implications for such a major shift 

in policy? What does the historical record 

tell us about the extent and limitations 

of birthright citizenship? This discussion 

will look at these questions, as well how 

other nations address citizenship, and the 

facts and misinformation surrounding this 

discussion.

Myth or Reality? 


Building 

What is the current status of immigration 

detention in the U.S.? Has the system 

moved toward a more “civil” approach, 

and how are we treating those in 

vulnerable populations, such as 

children or the mentally ill? Panelists 

will explore the impact on detention of 

Secure Communities and the national 

implementation of 287(g) programs. 

Finally, the discussion will include 

an examination of the proper role of 

detention in any future enforcement 

strategy.

in the staggering volume of bilateral 

trade—the equivalent of $1.6 billion 

a day in goods—as well as in peopleto-people 

contact. About 300,000 

people cross the border every day. This 

program will navigate U.S. - Canadian 

immigration issues including temporary 

and permanent options for migration. 

What are the variations between Canada 

and the U.S. in their immigration policies 

and what are the similarities including 

NAFTA? The discussion will include 

options for business and family migration.

This CLE program focuses on the ways in 

which diverse international jurisdictions 

address a range of legal issues of 

concern for older persons with disabilities. 

As the natural lifespan is extended 

due to advances in modern medicine, 

and as each nation’s outsized “baby 

boomer” generation continues to age, 

such issues are achieving prominence 

in virtually every mode of contemporary 

legal service. Practical litigation and 

advocacy skills will be emphasized with 

respect to the representation of older 

persons with disabilities in both civil 

and criminal contexts. This multinational 

panel will address (1) recent and 

pending reforms in guardianship and 

conservatorship schemes; (2) disabilityspecific 

aspects of initial contact with the 

criminal justice system; (3) circumstances 

of accommodation or confinement in 

such settings as independent living, 

personal care homes, hospitals, jails, 

and prisons; and (4) technologically 

informed approaches to the assessment 

and prospective documentation of 

testamentary capacity for this unique 

population. Examples from legal systems 

around the world will be highlighted 

for the purpose of informing practice of 

American lawyers concerning each topic 

addressed.

The rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and 

transgender (LGBT) persons throughout 

United States and around the world are 

in a state of tremendous change. In some 

countries, governments sponsor or fail 

to prevent acts of violence (including 

murder) against LGBT persons and their 

advocates. New legislation criminalizes 

LGBT persons and creates a climate of 

fear and terror. Other countries (including 

Canada), however, seek to protect and 

promote the equal rights of LGBT persons. 

This session examines both extremes and 

will address recent developments in a 

number of areas, including civil unions, 

immigration and asylum rights based 

on sexual orientation, court decisions 

from national and international tribunals, 

developments within the United Nations, 

and the role of lawyers in stopping 

discrimination and promoting equality.

-Canadian Perspective 



At its meeting in Toronto, the ABA House 

of Delegates is scheduled to consider 

a policy resolution on the topic of child 

trafficking. This program will explore lawrelated 

issues related to child trafficking, 

from a United States and Canadian 

perspective. Topics to be discussed 

include: ending the practice of arresting, 

charging, and detaining prostituted 

children; having these trafficking victims 

legally treated as dependent children; 

how legislation and policy reform can 

promote the accessibility of residential 

and other needed services; and how 

lawyers and judges can become more 

aware of child trafficking, as well as 

how the legal/judicial system can more 

appropriately respond.

MECCourting Disaster: Tools to 

Help You Create a Disaster Plan 

Now 



Does your practice have a disaster 

response and recovery plan? If not, 

you’re not alone. Many smaller firms and 

solo practitioners do not have a disaster 

preparedness plan because they haven’t 

had the time to develop one or feel that 

a disaster will not happen to them. This 

session will provide the tools and knowhow 

to jumpstart your disaster plan. The 

best way to protect your business from 

a catastrophe is to address the potential 

risks before a disaster happens. Welldeveloped 

disaster preparedness plans 

should address multiple disaster scenarios 

and provide effective ways to get back to 

business quickly after a disaster strikes. 

If your network is compromised or you 

lose access to your important client 

documents, how are you going to retrieve 

your data and get back to business? If 

normal operations are disrupted by the 

loss of a key employee or the complete 

destruction of your office by fire or flood, 

how will you recover? Legal experts will 

discuss what you need to know to get 

started developing a disaster plan for 

your practice now.

aBa sections, 

Divisions and Forums 

Events in this chapter are listed in alphabetical order 

by name of Section, Division or Forum. Please refer to 

the alphabetical list on page 107 to find programs put 

on by a particular entity. 

As an ABA member, you’re entitled to join any of 

the more than 30 Sections, Divisions and Forums to 

learn from nationally recognized experts, receive 

award-winning journals and targeted newsletters, have 

access to multiple networking opportunities with legal 

professionals in your practice area, and much more. 

On the next page is a complete listing of Sections, 

Divisions and Forums. 

Sections are practice-specific groups formed to meet 

the specialized information needs and interests of 

practicing lawyers and other legal professionals. 

Divisions focus on directing legal professionals 

through their career stages and assisting them in 

meeting their professional goals. From the Law 

Student Division to the Senior Lawyers Division to 

the Judicial Division, a wide range of interests is 

addressed. Both Sections and Divisions also are 

involved with policy development. Forums address 

areas of the law that are not fully addressed by 

any one Section. The mission of the Forums is to 

educate lawyers in narrower fields of law through 

publications and programs. 

All ABA Sections, Divisions and Forums provide: 

> A single source for the latest information in your 

area of practice or interest 

> Targeted publications with member discounts 

> Continuing Legal Education (CLE) and a platform to 

exchange ideas and gain knowledge from experts 

> Committees that further explore issues of special 

interest to you 

> Access to online discussion groups and information 

No other legal organization has such a broad range of 

experts examining national trends, influencing federal 

laws and exchanging practical advice. If your law 

practice touches upon a variety of specialized fields or 

if your interests go beyond your area of practice, enroll 

in multiple ABA Sections, Divisions and Forums. With 

the expertise you’ll gain, you can exceed your clients’ 

expectations, increase the profitability of your practice 

and advance your career. For more information or 

if you are interested in joining a Section, Division or 

Forum, please visit the ABA SOURCE Booth in the ABA 

EXPO. You also can find out more about these entities

MCThe Regulation of the Political 

Activities of Lobbyists 



Where should the line be drawn 

separating permissible from impermissible 

political activities by lobbyists? In both 

the US and Canada, this is increasingly 

becoming the issue du jour in the area of 

lobbying regulation. A variety of states 

have adopted limitations on campaign 

contributions and bundling by lobbyists. 

The Canadian Commissioner of Lobbying 

has warned that “Lobbyists should 

ensure that their participation in political 

activities does not cause a tension 

between the public office holder’s duty 

to serve or protect the public good and 

his or her private interest or obligation.” 

Panelists will examine constitutional issues 

and the direction reforms may take in this 

lively discussion.

MCChemical Regulation in 

Canada—Lessons for U.S. 

Reforms 



Everyone agrees that chemical regulation 

in the US needs to be updated. Industry, 

NGOs and the EPA all find fault with 

TSCA, the 1976 law that still governs the 

process. The EU and Canada are both 

implementing new, ambitious programs 

that provide models and cautionary 

experiences for US reforms. The EU’s 

REACH program has been widely 

criticized for needless expense and 

complexity and for producing slow results. 

The Canadian Environmental Protection 

Act, by contrast, is frequently cited by 

stakeholders as a better approach. This 

program will focus on features of CEPA 

that make it apparently more efficient and 

productive, and explore how compatible 

those processes would be with US law 

and expectations regarding transparency, 

participation and due process.

MCPracticing in Privacy - Can 

the Law Keep Up with Technology 

and Can Self-Regulation Help? 



The collection and use of personal data 

by social media and web technologies 

continues to raise privacy concerns 

amongst enforcers in the US, Canada, 

and other jurisdictions. In response, 

industry has responded with selfregulatory 

initiatives to supplement public 

enforcement of data collection and use 

practices. Can the law can really keep up 

with technology, and is self-regulation a 

possible approach? Our panel of experts 

offers their thoughts on the issues, and 

the resulting outlook for consumers and

of Civil Procedure, especially Rule 28. 


(continued) 

This portion will deal with how to take 

discovery abroad in American litigation. 

Discovery in the US for use in foreign 

litigation under 28 USC 1782. The 

Supreme Court’s 2004 decision in Intel v 

AMD broadened the potential availability 

of US discovery in foreign litigation. The 

years since have seen extensive case 

law developments. Conflict of laws and 

public policy issues are raised when 

taking discovery in a country other than 

the forum country. What happens when 

American courts are faced with objections 

to discovery based on such matters as 

Swiss banking secrecy rules?

Changed from an Ethical and 

Legal Perspective 




Corporate Counsel 

Co-sponsored by: White Collar Crime 

The panel will address changing ethical 

and corporate obligations in light of the 

DOJ prosecution of an in-house counsel; 

why this case is a worrisome development 

for in-house counsel who usually have 

several safety defenses like “advice of 

counsel” to the extent there is a particular 

non-compliance history for healthcare 

defense attorneys.

MRegulatory Burdens on U.S.- 

Canada Trade: A Titan in Chairs 




Despite NAFTA, the U.S.-Canada border 

continues to “thicken.” The world’s largest 

bilateral trading relationship is hampered 

by countless differences in border security 

measures, customs and export rules, 

carrier licensing, safety regulations, 

and obscure “cabotage” restrictions on 

use of commercial vehicles and their 

operators. Do any of these impediments 

promote fundamental interests of either 

country, let alone shared interests? Which 

ones pander to parochial preferences, 

and which are purposeless relics? Our 

binational panel of lawyers and industry 

representatives will exchange ideas on 

redesigning the border, and possibly 

redirecting regulatory resources to a 

common security perimeter protecting 

both countries.

Covered bonds are a multi-trillion dollar

foothold in Europe. Our panel will 

discuss the history and basic structure of 

covered bonds, as well as their legal and 

regulatory framework. We will explore 

why covered bonds are being issued 

by European and Canadian banks in 

their own jurisdictions as well as crossborder 

to U.S investors, but are currently 

unavailable to U.S. banks. We will also 

discuss recent regulatory initiatives that 

may permit U.S. financial institutions to 

become significant covered bond issuers.

MCIs FCPA Enforcement Overly 

Aggressive? 



FCPA enforcement has been characterized 

in recent months by an expansive view 

of the statutes, increasing amounts being 

paid in settlement by corporations and 

blue collar tactics being employed against 

individuals. The first corporate FCPA case 

tried to a jury verdict recently ended with 

the company being convicted. The trials 

of those indicted in the largest FCPA sting 

case are underway. Dozens of other 

FCPA cases are waiting to start trial. At 

the same time many foreign corporations 

have delisted their securities from trading 

criminal Justice 

Section 

in the U.S. in the wake of FCPA cases. 

Business groups have called for reform, 

claiming that the Act is driving companies 

from the U.S. Yet the new UK Bribery Act 

has been called the “FCPA on steroids.” 

This program will explore these key 

trends and provide practical advice for 

companies, practitioners and compliance 

officers.

Investigations, SEC 

Whistleblowers, and Private 

Follow-On Actions: Playing Chess 

on Multiple Boards 


Building 

In the wake of the global financial 

crisis, with instant media coverage and 

increased incentives for whistleblowers, 

it is crucial that lawyers understand 

and anticipate the different types of 

government and private actions that 

may occur simultaneously or successively 

when a crisis hits. This program offers 

practical advice on how to anticipate 

and handle the barrage of government 

and private activity that can occur when 

word gets out about an investigation into 

fraud, money laundering, Foreign Corrupt 

Practices Act violations and other illegal 

conduct, with a specific focus on SEC 

whistleblower situations, presented by 

practitioners with real, current experience 

in these interwoven areas.

The Extra-Territorial Enforcement 

of U.S. Securities Laws 

Regency Ballroom C, Convention 


In the past few years, DOJ and the 

SEC have responded to widespread 

investor losses with a surge of securities 

prosecutions. Increasingly, these cases 

confront the question of how far U.S. laws 

reach into foreign jurisdictions. In United 

States v. Morrison, the Supreme Court 

limited the extraterritorial application 

of U.S. securities laws, only to have 

Congress attempt to overturn Morrison 

through the Dodd-Frank Act. The panel 

will discuss how counsel and the courts 

have dealt with the extra-territorial 

application of securities laws (1) in two 

prominent cross-border insider trading 

cases (SEC v. Grmovsek and SEC v. 

Cornblum) and (2) in other securities 

cases challenged under Morrison. The 

panel will discuss the impact of these civil 

enforcement cases on parallel criminal 

cases and whether the reasoning of 

Morrison can be extended to challenge 

other criminal statutes. (Complimentary

MCDial I For Infringement, The 




This interactive program with experienced 

IP litigators and ADR professionals will 

use an intellectual property dispute to 

identify and create a cohesive way to 

view ADR issues: selecting and designing 

an optimum process, choosing the correct 

forum for resolution, diverting parties from 

a focus on rights to one based on their 

interests, evaluating available alternatives, 

use of experts, the role of emotions 

in business litigation, timing of joint 

sessions and private caucuses, principalagent 

issues, assuring participation by 

the right decision makers, “winning” in 

mediation, the role of effective public 

and confidential mediation briefs, the use 

of apology, and the timing of mediation 

approaches. After attending this session, 

participants will have a better sense of 

how to design and select the ADR process 

that best fits their needs, and will be 

better prepared as advocates or neutrals 

to participate in intellectual property and 

general commercial mediations, with a 

focus on achieving favorable outcomes, 

rather than treating the process as 

another step in the litigation cycle.

required for a successful mediation. Too 

often parties and their counsel enter the 

mediation room without the necessary

ethical issues inherent in taking firm

MCEmpathy, Creativity, Neutrality 

and Persuasion: What Dispute 

Resolvers Can Learn from the 

World of Theatre 



Actors and playwrights are, by necessity, 

masterful at the art of understanding 

characters who are nothing like 

themselves. They are experts at language, 

nuance, body language, and reading 

others. They understand how to teach 

well beyond the text—that is, how subtext 

is often a more important conduit of 

information than the mere words we 

speak. They know how to improvise. They 

know how to reach people. And because 

every good drama is based around a 

deep conflict, they understand how to 

deal with difficult emotional issues without 

losing their ability to remain detached. In 

this session, a professional actor with a 

law degree and a law professor with a 

theatre background will teach workshop 

participants how to immediately employ 

tried and tested theatre techniques to their 

practices as negotiators, mediators and 

advocates.

MCSolution Focused Conflict 

Management 


Building 

Benjamin Franklin once said: ‘Every 

problem is an opportunity in disguise.’ 

In the new and successful approach of 

solution focused conflict management the 

focus is on discovering these opportunities 

to find the ‘win-win’ scenario. The key 

lies in asking eliciting questions about 

goals (the preferred future of your clients), 

exceptions and competencies and in 

motivating clients to change. Solution 

focused conflict management differs 

from traditional methods and can also 

be easily combined with them. Meetings 

become more positive and shorter, 

ensuring that solution focused conflict 

management is also cost-effective. After 

attending this session participants will 

have information about the theoretical 

background of the SF model and will 

be able to apply the model in divorce, 

workplace, family, neighbor, personal 

injury and victim-offender mediations.

MCPsychology & the Computer: 

Their Effective Use in Mediation 

of Complex Cases 



This program will consist of two 

parts: first, a detailed discussion of 

psychological impediments to mediation 

by Prof. Russell Korobkin, one of the 

country’s leading experts in the field; 

and, second, a presentation on how 

computerized risk-probability analysis 

can be used in complex cases involving 

multiple claims, damage theories and 

amounts to overcome these and similar 

impediments to mediation success. At the 

conclusion of this program, participants 

will walk away with a much deeper 

understanding of psychological issues 

to be considered in mediating complex 

claims, as well the techniques available 

through use of probability analysis to 

refocus attention on what should be a 

party’s primary concern: namely, “what 

are my chances” of winning or losing and 

“how do I quantify it?”

MECTake the High Road: 

Mastering Top Ethical Challenges 

Facing ADR Advocates and 

Neutrals 



Advocates and neutrals will gain a 

clearer appreciation of their ethical 

obligations to all participants in the ADR 


(continued) 

process. Using hypotheticals, presenters 

will lead the audience through analysis 

of contemporary ethics issues. Examples 

include: (1) the duty to contain cost for 

participants; (2) the duty to maintain 

confidentiality when most people share 

their whereabouts online; (3) the duty 

to refrain from practice in jurisdictions 

where you are not licensed. First, the 

program will address the obligation of 

advocates and neutrals to keep ADR costs 

down, to avoid unnecessary delays and 

refrain from disruptive strategies, such 

as discovery abuse or frivolous motion 

practice, and to maintain civility and act 

in good faith. Second, the program will 

evaluate the challenges of maintaining 

confidentiality of the proceedings when so 

many people are routinely sharing what 

they do on social media. Attendees will 

discuss whether parties or neutrals should 

impose a social media policy, barring 

participants from sharing information 

online, such as Twitter © , Facebook © or 

Linkedin © , particularly in high-profile 

disputes. Also, given how business is 

conducted nationally and globally, the 

group will analyze the ethical issues 

raised by serving as an advocate or a 

neutral for ADR outside your principal 

place of practice.

MCMaking Money Talk 



J. Anderson (Andy) Little will present the 

key concepts that every negotiator should 

be familiar with in the settlement of civil 

litigation, particularly the settlement of 

insured claims. His book, Making Money 

Talk: How to Mediate Insured Claims and 

Other Monetary Disputes, published by 

the ABA Section of Dispute Resolution, 

has been widely used by civil court 

mediators to navigate the dynamics of 

positional bargaining and to overcome 

the many impasses that characterize 

positional bargaining. His book has also 

been used by negotiators across the 

country to help them construct productive 

proposals and counter proposals that 

advance, rather than impede, the 

progress of settlement negotiations. So, 

if you have ever heard yourself saying 

things in mediation like: “I won’t dignify 

that proposal with a response,” “I won’t 

make a proposal until the other side gets 

reasonable,” or “I’m out of here; this is a 

waste of my time,” then come learn what 

great negotiators do to make thoughtful, 

rather than counterproductive, proposals 

that promote movement and lead to 

satisfactory settlements.

MCHow Arbitrators Think and 

What You and They Can Do 

About It: A Journey Into the Minds 

of Arbitrators 



This program takes a look into the minds 

of arbitrators. Arbitrators are people, 

too. They can be subject to the same 

biases and tendencies to fight the last 

war as other decision makers, including 

judges. Drawing upon the research 

and writings of scholars from the fields 

of behavioral law and economics, real 

world experiments, and provocative 

audience exercises, this panel explores 

how arbitrators use cognitive illusions 

and biases that are unique to decisions 

made by arbitrators when considering 

discovery, requiring briefing, and 

structuring the sequence and timing of the 

arbitration.

Processes to Fit the Problem and 

People in Deals and Disputes 



When you have a transaction that is 

getting stuck or a dispute, what are the 

practical and ethical considerations in 

using and designing a combined ADR 

process for your client? An interactive 

panel will address new ADR-based 

hybrids for transactions or disputes, 

where the parties wish to focus on 

interests and reaching optimal outcomes: 

1) The need and usefulness of hybrid 

ADR processes; 2) Factors to consider 

when designing a hybrid ADR process 

for a client or in an international context; 

3) Possible combinations of neutrals

(e.g., a mediator and an arbitrator, or a 

mediator and a conciliator) to address 

and resolve issues within fixed times and 

budget, whether sequentially, on parallel 

tracks, or as integrated proceedings; 4) 

Implications of different types of ADR 

processes and hybrid processes (e.g., 

facilitative, transformative, evaluative or 

directive approaches; 5) Using caucuses 

and/or joint sessions; 6) Addressing 

ethical problems when an arbitrator 

teams up with a mediator, or a neutral is 

asked to change roles; and 7) Obtaining 

enforceable outcomes under the New 

York Convention.

MCSame-Sex Marriage in North 

America: A Look at Where We Are 

Eight Years Later 


Building 

Same-sex marriage has been a reality in 

North America beginning with the Ontario 

and Massachusetts decisions in 2003. 

The panel will examine the progress of 

law reform in this area since that time, 

the increasing legalization of same-sex 

marriage across the United States, the 

lessons learned in Canada and the unique 

legal issues confronting same-sex couples 

from one jurisdiction to another, from 

parenting issues to separation and divorce. 

The presenters have each worked in the 

forefront of the area of equality for LGBT 

families for many years.

MCDo-It-Yourself Historical Trial: 

Louis Riel Treason Trial - Traitor, 

Patriot or Insane? 


Building 

Lawyer Louis Riel was the founder 

of Manitoba, a leader of the Metis 

indigenous people and an elected 

member of Canada’s Parliament. In 

1885, in one of Canada’s most famous 

trials, he was tried and hanged for 

treason. Was he really a patriot, a traitor 

or criminally insane? Join the prosecution 

or defense team and argue the case 

yourself, using the latest in modern 

litigation techniques and technology. 

You’ll explore the case with aboriginal 

rights advocate Jean Teillet, great 

grandniece of Louis Riel. Distinguished 

Canadian criminal defense lawyer Eddie 

Greenspan will help evaluate your trial 

performance. You’ll be coached on 

winning trial techniques by experienced 

litigators Vinoo Varghese, Carlin Phillips, 

Vincent Chang and Sonia Bjorkquist 

(a partner at the firm which originally 

defended Louis Riel). Clinical psychologist 

Dr. Darlene Shelton and noted forensic 

scientist Professor James Starrs will 

provide expert testimony. Trying the case

how to review title, surveys and legal 

descriptions to confirm the enforceability 

of their loan documents, and for those 

representing debtors to identify errors 

therein. This program will instruct 

lawyers on how to interpret the “foreign 

language” in which legal descriptions 

are written, walk them through how to 

read a survey and explore the intricacies 

exposed in real estate title reports and 

insurance commitments. Upon completion, 

the attendee will be able to review legal 

descriptions, title reports and surveys with 

confidence and competence.

2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. 






As one of the largest segments of the 

economy, healthcare touches many 

areas of the law and individuals’ lives. 

Privacy of health information has long 

been a cornerstone of the physicianpatient 

relationship. However, with 

the acceleration of technology into 

the delivery of healthcare and into 

the storage and transmission of health 

information, the emphasis on health 

privacy has also accelerated. The federal 

HIPAA privacy rules are only one piece 

of the puzzle. Lawyers who handle health 

information or deal with healthcare 

providers need to understand the 

limitations the law places on the access 

to, handling of, and storage of health 

information. In addition to health privacy 

issues in their interaction with healthcare 

providers, lawyers may need to initiate 

internal policies in their practices related 

to health information or face potential 

penalties or civil actions. This program 

will review these issues from the U.S. 

perspective, and provide Canadian 

insight on the approach to health privacy 

across the U.S. northern border.

From the civil rights movement in the 

1960s, to the women’s movement in 

the 1970s, and the current battle over 

the rights of the LGBT community, the 

issue of civil rights and human rights 

continues to change and evolve, even as 

new challenges arise. To commemorate 

the 20th anniversary of the Section’s 

Thurgood Marshall Award, which 

honors individuals for their long-term 

contributions to the advancement of civil 

rights, civil liberties, and human rights, 

an illustrious panel of former recipients of 

the Thurgood Marshall Award will discuss 

the history of the civil and human rights 

battle in the United States; their personal 

contributions to furthering these rights and 

the significant legal developments that 

advanced the cause; and the challenges 

that lie ahead.

In 2006, the United Nations established 

the Human Rights Council to replace the 

Human Rights Commission, long criticized 

as biased and unresponsive to serious 

provable or suspected human rights 

abuses. The United States did not become 

part of the new body because the Bush 

administration was skeptical that revised 

procedures and structural changes would 

make the body any more workable or 

effective. The Obama administration, 

however, believed in working for change 

from within, and the United States joined 

the Council in fall 2009. For the past 

four years, the Council systematically has 

been reviewing the human rights records 

of individual state parties; it reviewed 

the U. S. record last fall. This year, the 

Council faces its own UN review—and 

an uncertain future. The United States 

will have a key voice in the decision 

whether the Council, despite serious and 

ongoing problems, ultimately will, or will 

be able to, advance human rights in an 

increasingly polarized and politically 

challenging world. In this very timely 

program, experts concerning the Council, 

the UN, and human rights generally will 

discuss the UN’s review, the U. S. role in 

it, and potential impacts of the results.

The environmental justice movement 

in the United States emerged during 

the civil rights movement of the 1960s 

in the context of individual and group 

rights. Growing environmental justice 

efforts in Canada draw more broadly 

from sustainable development, public 

participation and human rights. This

Canadian and U.S. communities pursue 

environmental justice, including how 

they organize and the legal rights and 

principles that guide their work. The

they differ, and suggest new uses of legal

MThe Demise of Junk Science in 

the Calculation of Reasonable 

Royalties 

Kent, 3rd Floor, Four Seasons 

Hotel Toronto 

Recent court decisions in the intellectual 

property litigation arena are raising 

the standards for evidence that can 

be presented to value a patented 

feature or technology. With analytical 

shortcuts such as the “25% rule” and 

loosely related comparable licenses no 

longer being accepted by the courts, 

what kinds of evidence can be used 

to determine reasonable royalty? In its 

March 2010 decision in IP Innovation 

v Red Hat, the court emphasized that 

reasonable royalties should be consistent 

with “accepted economic principles.” 

Our Roundtable session will explain the 

economic principles used to determine a 

reasonable royalty. We will also discuss 

the types of economic evidence that we 

have used to quantify the reasonable 

royalties in past cases, including: (i) 

data from customer surveys used to 

elicit buyer valuations of the patented 

feature(s); (ii) data on customer usage 

of the patented feature(s); (iii) business 

documents that detail the would-be 

licensor’s forecasts of profits arising from 

his sale of the patented product, and (iv) 

data on the profitability of the product at 

issue compared to relevant benchmark 

products.

MMock Hearing on Preliminary 

Injunction Motion in Copyright 

Act: To Be or Not To Be...A Fair 

Use 

Tudor/Stuart, 3rd Floor, Four 


This Roundtable panel will argue whether 

or not the 1966 play Rosencrantz and 

Guildenstern Are Dead by Tom Stoppard 

infringes William Shakespeare’s Hamlet 

with the assumption being that Hamlet 

is protect by copyright in the United 

States. As many know, Mr. Stoppard 

uses relatively minor characters from 

Hamlet in his play, and this program will 

explore whether his work infringes Mr. 

Shakespeare’s copyright, focusing on the 

availability and nuances of the fair use 

defense. The presentation will be in the 

form of an oral argument between the 

counsel for Plaintiff William Shakespeare 

and Defendant Tom Stoppard, with the 

argument covering the operative facts and 

applicable law. After the oral argument 

is completed, the presenters will poll 

the audience as to whether they believe 

that Mr. Stoppard’s work infringes Mr. 

Shakespeare’s copyright and, if so, 

whether Mr. Stoppard’s work should be 

enjoined.

ACTA presents an interesting foundation 

from which to view current standards in 

combating counterfeiting. A distinguished

bloodstains, and discuss minimum expert

eyewitnesses and various “syndromes.” 

It will also explore how technology can 

assist the court in managing, enhancing 

and searching for evidentiary materials 

when determining the admissibility of 

forensic evidence. It is our expectation 

that with this program Judges will acquire 

the background and tools necessary to 

assess the strengths and limitations of 

various types of forensic evidence in 

admissibility hearings in criminal and civil 

cases.

the objective is to share the benefit of

of using existing technology. These tools 

have already been tried and proven to 

be useful in court settings. In this way, 

attendees don’t have to be concerned 

about being presented with unproven - 

or even “bleeding” edge - technology. 

Our speakers will demonstrate the 

tools and share their own experiences 

and adaptations. The tools will range 

from video and “wav” files to mobile 

devices to social media and knowledge

Can “junk” science be good evidence? A 

much-anticipated report from the National 

Academy of Sciences, “Strengthening 

Forensic Science in the United States: A 

Path Forward,” has criticized forensic 

science today as “badly fragmented.” 

Surveying the current status of the field 

(including the use of DNA evidence, 

fingerprint and toolmark analysis, hair 

analysis, bitemarks, “voice printing,” 

handwriting analysis, lie detection, 

forensic dentistry, and fire investigation, 

and other disciplines), the NAS report 

makes the case for extensive, wideranging 

reforms - literally, from the 

crime scene to the courtroom, in civil 

as well as criminal cases. Join this 

diverse, binational panel for a probing 

examination of the use of complex 

scientific and technical evidence in the 

courts of the U.S. and Canada, including 

pressing issues such as the admissibility 

of evidence and the need to ensure 

that expert testimony is both grounded 

in science and acknowledges the 

uncertainties in any findings.

ME“Friend” is Now a Verb: 

Judicial Ethics and the New 

Social Media 

MacDonald/Lismer, Convention 


The program explores an evolution in 

judicial work that has elevated Social 

Media to the stature of an empowering 

tool, but one laced with challenge for 

the judiciary. We will consider how 

the new Social Media can be put to 

positive and ethical applications in 

real-life circumstances. We will also 

troubleshoot hazards posed by the new 

technology and the public’s embrace of 

it. With a focus on the Model Code of 

Judicial Conduct, the presentation will 

draw guidance from Rule 1.2 (Promoting 

Confidence in the Judiciary), 2.3 (Bias, 

Prejudice, and Harassment), 2.4 (External 

Influences on Judicial Conduct) and 2.9 

(Ex Parte Communications).

MClass Action Litigation After 

Dukes v. Walmart 



This panel will explore the implications 

of the Supreme Court’s review of the 

9th Circuit’s decision upholding the 

certification of a gender discrimination 

class of two million female Walmart 

employees. The Court’s decision is likely 

to impact the admissibility and use of 

expert testimony at the class certification 

stage, including the use of sampling, as 

well as the standards trial courts at both 

the state and federal level apply when 

determining whether to certify a gender 

discrimination class, in particular, whether 

common issues predominate, and when a 

class may be certified under 23(b)(2).

MCalculating Damages in an 

Employment Case: Strategies for 

the Canadian and U.S. Litigant 



In both Canada and the U.S., plaintiffs 

seek injunctive, equitable and/ 

or monetary relief in employment 

discrimination cases. The remedies 

available will influence litigation strategy, 

the negotiation of settlements and, 

ultimately, changes in workplace policies. 

Our experts will discuss damages 

available on either side of the border and 

the strategic decisions litigants must make 

to enhance or avoid damages.

Border Mergers and Acquisitions 



Recent reports indicate that mergers 

and acquisitions activity and venture 

investments are on the upswing. Such 

corporate transactions implicate a 

variety of legal disciplines and require 

a team of lawyers on each side from 

several practice areas, not the least of 

which is labor and employment law. 

Differences in laws among jurisdictions 

Section of Labor and 

Employment Law 

Gordon E. Krischer, Chair, Los Angeles, California

transactions. This panel will examine 

the key issues in cross border corporate 

transactions involving U.S. and Canadian 

parties, focusing on the potential labor, 

employment, and employee benefits best

MThe Ins and Outs of Contracting 

Out Legal Work 



In a financial climate where clients may 

seek fee reductions and a lower bottom

may seek to outsource legal work. This 

panel will examine practical issues 

related to contracting out legal work, 

such as when it makes sense to contract 

with outside lawyers choosing a vendor 

and best practices regarding the terms 

to be contained in any contract. The 

panel will also explore the myriad of 

potential ethical and liability issues 

related to contracting out work, such 

as avoiding the unauthorized practice 

of law, appropriate supervision, client 

confidentiality, duty to disclose, conflicts 

of interest and how contracted work 

should be billed. Finally, this panel will

other resources and media. A panel 

of Canadian and American attorneys

other potential problems raised by the 

constantly expanding social media 

universe. The panel will also examine 

potential solutions, including whether the 

use of “cleaners,” social media expiration

employees or to hamper employers and, 

if so, what the legal implications would

Facts v. Fiction 


Building 

A panel of legal thought leaders explores 

the evolving business model for law firms, 

large and small, including how firms 

will be organized, operate and deliver 

services to clients. If the economic model 

that dominated law practice for most of the 

twentieth century disappears, along with 

the hourly billing system that sustained it, 

what will the model (or models) that replace 

it look like? This question is critical for 

the legal profession, because the answer 

implicates public confidence in lawyers and 

the legal system. As the practice of law 

changes, lawyers will need to understand 

this structural and professional evolution, 

including the education and training of new 

professionals and the role of technology in 

the ethical and effective delivery of legal 

services to clients.

focuses on one avenue to address bias in 

the legal profession- the use of power and 

influence by allies on behalf of women 

and minority lawyers to bring them to a 

higher, more privileged power position in 

their organizations and within the entire 

legal community with a specific focus on 

building a book of business and advancing

types of power and influence strategies 

that have worked and those, which are 

needed to bring about true diversity within 

our profession. They will also learn what 

motivates an individual to become an ally 

for someone else.

Bottom Line by Using New Tools to 

Build Diverse Talent 



Why are Law Firm Leaders Failing to 

Experience the Economic Benefits of 

Diversity and Inclusion? Join us to learn 

about Mentoring 360, the first in a series 

of innovative initiatives, sponsored by the 

ABA, to enhance diversity and inclusion. 

Experts agree: A simple, yet critical, factor 

for building successful diverse talent is 

effective mentorship. Informal mentoring 

channels seem closed off to many diverse 

attorneys and the formal mentoring 

programs at most law firms are ineffective, 

so much so there is mentor program fatigue. 

Don’t agree? Just look at the success of 

your law firm’s mentoring program and 

its intended beneficiaries. What if there 

was a proven way to build a winning 

program that retains your diverse attorneys 

and enables them to make significant 

contributions to business development and 

client satisfaction? Mentoring 360 is a new 

tool for building this kind of success. Plan 

to spend 90 minutes talking with a dynamic 

group of experts in diversity leadership 

who will lead a highly-interactive session 

exploring the failures of current mentoring 

programs and highlighting this new cuttingedge 

approach to mentoring. Participants 

will learn how their firms can implement this 

innovative tool by participating in the new 

ABA pilot program for firm leaders who are 

committed to creating diverse and profitable 

law firms.

Human judgment involves two different 

mental processes: intuition and 

deliberation. Both are essential to 

good judgment; and intuition can be 

surprisingly accurate. However, people 

often rely too much on intuition alone. 

Judgments made in the justice system 

are no different. Headlines trumpeted 

“racial profiling” with the 2009 arrest 

of Harvard Professor Henry Louis Gates, 

Jr., after he pushed his way through 

the jammed front door of his home. But 

unconscious (implicit) bias is not limited to 

law enforcement, or even to the criminal 

justice system. Through a review of 

the controversial “Gates-gate” incident 

and other high-profile cases, as well as 

provocative new empirical research, this 

highly-interactive multi- media presentation 

will engage the audience using TV news 

video and hand- held “voting” technology 

to probe how implicit bias based on 

gender, race/ethnicity, and a whole host 

of other individual traits - including, for 

example, age, national origin, height, 

weight, sexual orientation, socio-economic 

class, immigration status, and mental or 

physical disability, in addition to overall 

physical appearance and attire - distort 

judgment in both civil and criminal cases, 

in the courtroom and beyond.

Contracts Counsel and Responding 

to Cybersecurity Challenges 

Dominion Ballroom North, 2nd

Panel 1: Why Serving as Contractor 

In-House Counsel or Government Agency 

Counsel Requires More Skill than Ever. 

This panel of highly experienced in-house 

and agency lawyers will tell us how 

things really work from where they sit, 

where they see the greatest challenges for 

government contracts lawyers, and what 

they appreciate, and do not appreciate, 

about those who are charged with assisting 

them. 2: Cybersecurity—Legal Frontiers and 

Cyber Pioneers in the Information Security 

Realm. Skyrocketing cyber attacks have 

wreaked havoc on both the public and 

private sectors - up to $1 trillion in damages 

and lost secrets, over 500 million personal 

records compromised in security breaches, 

and national security secrets spilled - with 

the threat of a digital Pearl Harbor as the 

ultimate nightmare. The coming year will 

be pivotal as the public and private sectors 

confront escalating cyber threats, navigate 

tougher cybersecurity laws and rules, and 

answer to expanding oversight.

(continued) 

annually by all levels of government 

departments and agencies in Canada. 

Many U.S. corporations see countries like 

Canada as fertile selling grounds for the 

goods and services they offer. Despite 

the many linkages and similarities in our 

economy and government purchasing 

practices, some important differences 

do exist. Distinguished experts will help 

navigate some of the treacherous waters 

presented by cross-border commercial 

activity. Panel 2: International Public 

Procurement: A Worldwide Update National 

procurement systems continue to evolve 

and at the same time harmonize. This 

session will assess key legal developments 

in U.S., Canadian, Chinese and European 

procurement systems, as well as multilateral 

developments relating to the WTO GPA and 

UNCITRAL. While providing background 

regarding each system, panelist will also 

focus on legal issues contractors face when 

competing for work under systems other

(DoD) and the Department of State (DoS) 

have been the biggest customers of U.S.

overseas construction projects as a 

consequence of “winning the peace” in Iraq

important legal issues as the consequences 

and claims arising from the high degree of 

changes due to demands by “end users;” 

the high risk of termination for default or 

convenience due to political considerations 

and/or changing objectives and their legal 

effect; the law applicable to contingency

of special war risks; and what constitutes an 

event of force majeure in a war zone.

MCompliance for Contractors - 

Enhanced Exposures that Require 

Redoubled Efforts 



Panel 1: The Expanded Reach of the 

Ubiquitous Foreign Corrupt Practices 

Act Anti-corruption enforcement is 

growing worldwide and companies 

conducting business internationally need 

to be concerned about more than just the 

FCPA. U.S. DOJ and SEC enforcement 

actions and the resulting penalties have 

increased exponentially. Canada and 

the United Kingdom are ramping up 

their enforcement efforts. Companies are 

focused on enhancing and finding effective 

ways to manage the risks of corruption 

and are struggling to control activities of 

agents, representatives, distributors and 

contractors in their ever expanding global 

markets. Panel 2: The False Claims Act 

- A Changed Landscape. Since 2009, 

Congress has “clarified” or “changed” 

several important provisions of the False 

Claims Act. Statutory modifications affect 

several substantive liability provisions, 

putting to rest debates over whether the Act 

included a “presentment” requirement and 

the appropriate standard of “materiality,” 

legislatively overruling the Supreme Court’s 

Allison Engine decision, and broadening 

the scope of the “reverse false claims” 

provision. Congress also enacted changes 

to the “public disclosure” bar, broadened 

the Act’s anti-retaliation provision, and 

modified several other important procedural 

provisions.

By attending, you will learn: (1) If cloud 

computing is a new paradigm, a form 

of hosting solution, or a buzzword; (2) 

About the profound effect it is having 

at all levels of computing as it evolves 

into a utility and how spending on it is 

projected to catapult; (3) All sides of the 

very real privacy and security issues; 

(4) Of the explosive shift toward cloud 

computing in both the private and public 

sectors, and how to realistically address 

the concerns of privacy and security in 

so doing; (5) A focus on strategies for 

negotiating with vendors to have your 

clients’ concerns addressed; and (6) 

Recommended strategies for dealing 

with cloud computing vendors. You will 

gain practical insight and guidance from 

industry and governmental leaders who 

are recognized experts in their respective 

fields on how best to embark upon the 

business model of cloud computing and 

how to mitigate the risks in so doing. 

After attending you will have gained 

an understanding of the information, 

tools, and considerations you will need 

to properly advise your clients and your 

office on whether to embrace cloud 

computing, how to properly contract for 

it, and the privacy and security risks with 

which you must come to grips.

Internet technology and business models 

continue to evolve faster than the law— 

and the speed of legal decisions—can 

handle. Cloud computing, social 

networking, behavioral advertising, social 

gaming and other technical developments 

pose new legal challenges, while a 

current rash of litigation, including privacy 

class action suits, FTC guidelines and new 

court decisions, require lawyers to stay 

on top of an ever-evolving and complex 

global legal landscape. This program 

will focus on developments in privacy, 

terms of use, licensing, internet branding 

(continued) 

and advertising, copyright law and 

class action litigation and is intended for 

both litigators and transactional lawyers 

alike. Come to this program and receive

The “CSI effect” is a reference to the 

phenomenon of popular crime related 

television shows like the CSI series. 

There has been much concern that these 

programs’ focus on forensic evidence 

and laboratory work has influenced legal 

proceedings, with jurors now having 

heightened expectations regarding 

forensic science. The CSI effect first 

began capturing attention by members of 

the legal community in 2004. There were 

many anecdotes, but very little research. 

The first few studies were done in 2004 

and 2005. Stories about the “CSI effect” 

continue to be in the news today. For 

example, there were recent news articles 

about how the CSI effect seemed to 

be influencing the U.S. Supreme Court 

Justices during a recent oral argument, 

with discussion of “high-velocity blood 

spatter” and a “fan-like pattern of 

atomized blood.” We are still in the midst 

of forensic mania. So how does the CSI 

effect influence legal proceedings today? 

This distinguished panel of experts will 

discuss what we have learned about the 

effect of popular culture on perceptions 

regarding scientific evidence in the 

courtroom from recent research. The 

panel will also discuss how attorneys can 

address the CSI effect through voir dire, 

opening statement, closing argument and 

jury instructions.

Federal regulators from the FTC and HHS 

and state Attorneys General increasingly 

look upon information security as a 

critical part of consumer protection. The 

challenge for companies is understanding 

how to decode enforcement actions and 

evolving regulations into comprehensible 

guidance for clients. The legal risk 

associated with information security is 

significant and will only increase over 

time, so how do clients understand what 

Section of Science & Technology Law 

the rules are? How do clients allocate 

resources in a way that will be seen as 

legally defensible? This panel discusses 

implementing security that is both secure 

and legally defensible, which is key for 

managing information security legal risk. 

The session will provide an introduction to 

legal defensibility from both the security 

and legal perspective, and then will 

highlight key steps toward implementing 

the approach.

The best and the brightest of the up an 

coming new generation of animal law 

practitioners will be on hand to discuss 

the hottest issues on the horizon in widely 

varied aspects of animal law practice, 

including companion animal litigation 

and transactional work, wildlife law, and 

the laws pertaining to captive exotics 

and farm animals. Animal Law is a break 

out area of expertise in which “young 

lawyers” can quickly rise to positions in 

which they are at the forefront of cuttingedge 

legal work. Each of the young 

lawyers on this panel will identify an 

important area of focus in his or her area 

of expertise and offer insights valuable to 

both the seasoned animal law practitioner 

and those who are not yet familiar with 

the practice of animal law. The program 

will be geared to show the breadth of the 

practice area while still allowing in-depth 

discussion of some of the most pressing 

and current legal issues.

of a court’s ruling? What is the “manifest

reform, class actions and mass actions 

are not going away. If anything, the 

globalization of business and expansion 

of mass communications and social 

media is facilitating their growth. 

Mass disasters, wide-reaching business 

practices, and pervasive schemes can

MCSuccessful Lawyers Manage 

Stress 



Learning to manage stress can improve 

your career. How do attorneys achieve 

the much needed balance between 

successful, fulfilling careers and their 

personal lives? The legal environment is 

changing due to various current economic 

factors and technological advances. 

The explosion of the use of technology 

has drastically altered the way lawyers 

practice and their clients’ expectations. 

By tethering attorneys to their jobs 24/7, 

technology can compound work stress. 

The stressors that accompany these 

changes, such as increased competition, 

layoffs, and fewer resources, make the 

need for efficient stress and life-work 

management even more relevant. Learn 

how lawyers can navigate their changing 

environment to best enhance their careers, 

while still maintaining their personal lives, 

by assessing risks and opportunities and 

allocating resources.

MCMass Settlements: Beyond 

Injury Compensation 



Cases do not settle by chance. It takes 

a well thought-out and executed plan 

to successfully settle cases. Increasingly, 

mass tort, toxic tort, products liability, 

environmental, and other complex 

disputes are resolved by settlement, often 

with the participation of a special master 

or other neutral. Resolving such disputes 

requires considering potential liability 

and compensatory damage exposure, 

as well as analyzing the impact of 

claims on the market and future business 

and demands for medical monitoring, 

research, apology, or other equitable 

relief that is not usually characterized 

as compensatory damages. Additional 

complications arise when such disputes 

involve claimants and/or defendants 

from different countries. Panelists will 

examine how to negotiate, evaluate 

and structure settlements in such cases 

and will compare approaches used in 

other countries, particularly Canada. 

They will also address how to structure 

a process that leads to resolution: the 

role of processing getting to a settlement; 

choice of a neutral; who should and must 

participate in the settlement process; 

developing a strategy; and valuation 

considerations.

MCMay It Please the Court (Or 

Not) 



The trial process is different from the 

appellate process and who the trial judge 

is can make a big difference. In this threepart 

program, the panel will first focus on 

the disqualification and recusal of a judge 

and the practical considerations involved 

in filing a motion on this basis. The panel 

will next address written advocacy in 

the trial and appellate courts and how 

they are different. Finally, the panel will 

focus on preserving the trial record for an 

appeal.

This program addresses several 

psychology-oriented topics of critical 

significance for the tort and insurance 

law practitioner. Dr. Ann Greeley will 

demonstrate styles of opening statements 

that highlight the psychology of nonverbal 

and verbal persuasion. and 

will describe how such statements can 

be improved using knowledge of jury 

psychology. Dr. Lisa Drago Piechowski 

will identify the most current issues in the 

assessment of malingering in personal 

injury cases, with particular emphasis 

on the MMPI-2 Symptom Validity (FBS) 

Scale. Dr. Gareth Norris will address 

computerized accident reconstructions, 

focusing upon its beneficial role in 

conveying key issues to judges and 

jurors. Dr. Robert Barth will provide a 

contemporary overview of the American 

Medical Association’s Guides to the 

Evaluation of Permanent Impairment, 

highlighting how this resource has 

provided major opportunities as well as 

potential pitfalls for the legal practitioner 

in cases with psychological issues. 

Professor John Williams will convey how 

international innovations regarding each 

of these topics point the way to increased 

efficacy for trial attorneys seeking either 

to support or to counteract psychological 

testimony in civil cases. As moderators, 

Dr. Eric Drogin and Attorney Alan Rachlin 

will provide additional commentary from 

the perspectives of expert witness practice 

and health insurance regulation.

MCUnited States and Canadian 

Environmental Issues: Cross 

Border Litigation and Regulatory 

Priorities 



Historically, the United States and 

Canada have had an enviable record 

of cooperatively resolving cross-border 

environmental disputes. Since the 1980s, 

however, we have seen an increasing 

reliance on litigation to resolve such 

disputes. In this program our expert 

panel will address: (i) the historical 

context to current day environmental 

disputes; (ii) current day cross-border 

environmental litigation issues; and 

(iii) what the future may hold from an 

environmental regulatory perspective. 

What will be the next wave of crossborder 

environmental issues? What will

e each country’s environmental priorities 

moving forward into the next decade? 

Will they involve nanotechnology, climate 

change, toxic substances, oil and gas 

exploration, biotechnology and genetic 

engineering and/or other issues? The 

panel will explore these burning issues for 

lawyers who practice international and 

environmental law.

The Rule of Law evolves to adapt to 

changing times as breakthrough scientific 

innovation is upon us, including synthetic 

biology. It is time to bring together great 

interdisciplinary minds to assess where 

we are, and the scientific, ethical and 

legal challenges for the road ahead. 

In this program, utilizing well crafted 

problems, you will learn about how 

technology capable of dual use, (for 

good and for evil), is dealt with, including 

how it is applied to persons of interest 

in the interrogation process. We will 

explain complex topics in plain English, 

like the mental processes in the human 

and nonhuman brain, and government 

security efforts in the patent application 

process, utilizing intriguing visual aids. 

By the end of this program, you will have 

a better idea of how the brain works, 

how brain function impacts both civil and 

criminal intent, what kind of intellectual 

property may impact both, and what this 

means for IP practitioners. We will also 

enable the audience to understand the 

practical applications of the program in 

a broad spectrum of legal practices and 

to participate in a dynamic and robust 

Q&A.

MCovenants not to Compete- 

North American International 

Employee Mobility Issues 

York B, Lower Level, Toronto 


When an employee leaves to work for a 

competitor, there are often legal implications 

for all parties. It is more complicated when 

they are straddling different countries. 

Although basic employee mobility issues 

translate from country to country, the 

United States, Mexico and Canada have 

very different views on the enforceability 

of restrictive covenants. Learn what legal 

and practical issues arise when it occurs in 

these North American countries, focusing 

on trade secrets and related agreements 

that may protect a company’s valuable 

assets. These issues impact employers 

and employees. Mod: Ethan Zelizer, DLA

Populations 



Technology and social media are rapidly 

changing how we, as a society, interact 

with one another, and also how we 

conduct business. Technology has opened 

the door for a multitude of options for 

communication; long gone are the days 

where the only methods of communication 

are in person, paper or via telephone. 

Email is no longer considered to be the 

cutting edge. We now have a plethora 

of options with which to “talk to one 

another”—Twitter, Facebook, Skype, the 

list is ever changing and growing. Learn 

how these options can allow a lawyer to 

provide assisted pro se representation to 

an individual over 200 miles away. Our 

panel will also share how social media 

can be used to improve and enhance 

accessibility to health information in 

emergencies and other situations. The 

issues are numerous and continue to grow 

as our society continues to engage in 

the ever evolving use of technology and 

social media. Please join a lively and 

informative discussion by our experts as 

they consider the important legal issues of 

professional responsibility, unauthorized 

practice of law, client confidentiality, and 

privacy of documents in using technology 

and social media to assist underserved 

populations.

This chapter lists events sponsored by affiliated 

groups. The Association defines an affiliated group 

as a national organization of the legal profession 

represented in the House of Delegates. Any national 

organization in the legal profession whose objectives 

and activities are not included in those of the 

Association and which has two thousand or more 

members in good standing, at least fifty percent of 

whom are members of the Association, may seek to be 

represented in the House of Delegates as an affiliated 

organization. An application to become an affiliated 

organization must be filed with the Chair of the 

Credentials and Admissions Committee of the House 

of Delegates, and will be considered by the Standing 

Committee on Constitution and Bylaws. 

Affiliated groups include such organizations as: 

American Immigration Lawyers Association; American 

Judicature Society; Conference of Chief Justices; 

Federal Bar Association; National Association of Bar 

Executives; National Bar Association; National District 

Attorneys Association; and National Legal Aid and 

Defender Association. 

affiliated 

and Other Legal Organizations 

Other national organizations of the legal profession 

are “affiliated” in the sense that they work closely 

with the Association in a variety of areas of mutual 

interest but are not represented in the House of 

Delegates. These groups include: ALI-ABA Committee 

on Continuing Professional Education; American Bar 

Foundation; American Lawyers Auxiliary; Council 

on Legal Education Opportunity; and the National 

Conference of Bar Presidents. 

Social and educational events sponsored by state 

and local bar associations and alumni associations 

are also listed here. If you do not find your state bar 

listed in this chapter, you may find it in the House of 

Delegates chapter on page 73. 


of events. The M next to a program listing indicates that 

the ABA has requested MCLE accreditation. Listings 

with E have been submitted for ethics credit as well. 

All programs with C are in the ABA CLE Centre at the 

Metro Toronto Convention Centre, South Building, 700

In the United States, access to civil justice 

for the indigent and other targeted groups 

is provided in a wide variety of ways. The 

first report of the Civil Justice Infrastructure 

Mapping Project describes, on a stateby-state 

basis, the fundamental access 

to justice infrastructure that exists in the 

United States today, with focus on the 

following five components: how services 

are delivered; how people can connect 

with access to civil justice resources; how 

access programs are funded; how access 

services are coordinated; and how ethical 

rules are changing to create new forms of 

civil legal assistance. Professor Rebecca L. 

Sandefur, Senior Research Social Scientist 

at the American Bar Foundation, will 

present findings from the first phase of the 

project, with a panel discussion to follow 

featuring other experts in measuring 

justice needs in the United States and 

Canada.

The Don Valley Brick Works is a former quarry and industrial site located in the Don River valley in Toronto, Ontario. Currently the buildings sit mostly unused while the 

quarry has been converted into a city park which includes a series of naturalized ponds. The Don Valley Brick Works operated for nearly 100 years and provided bricks 

used to construct many well-known Toronto landmarks, such as Casa Loma, Osgoode Hall, Massey Hall, and the Ontario Legislature.
