As a civil law jurisdiction, Mexico does not have a discovery process but includes an evidentiary stage along with oral and final arguments. Manuel also unpacks a major judicial reform enacted last year at the constitutional level—starting this June, judges will be elected by popular vote. These changes are expected to reshape the judiciary. Join us as we dive into these key differences and explore how Mexico's legal system shapes justice.

In this series, we explore other countries' legal systems to become more acquainted with their procedures. In this episode, Host Cecilia Lahaye (Bird & Bird LLP) sits down with Sylvie Gallage-Alwis (Signature Litigation AARPI) to uncover the unique aspects of France's civil law system. Unlike in common law countries, aspiring legal professionals in France must decide early whether to pursue a career as a lawyer or as a judge. Plus, the discovery process—an essential feature in many legal systems—is notably absent in France, leading to a more selective approach to sharing information with judges and plaintiffs. Join us as we dive into these key differences and explore how France's legal system shapes justice.

Recorded at the Battle of Ideas festival 2022 on Saturday 15 October at Church House, London. ORIGINAL INTRODUCTION The Online Safety Bill is causing huge concern for those who believe in free speech. But how can we protect free expression and still deal with the many problems that arise online? The Bill has passed through the House of Commons and will now be debated in the House of Lords. There are hopes that Liz Truss's government may amend the Bill to remove the most egregious problem with it: the attempt to force tech platforms and service providers – such as Twitter, Facebook, Google and many more – to remove content and ban users from expressing ideas or views that the government deems to be ‘legal but harmful'. However, the very idea that legislation was drafted to ban legal speech as it appears in the virtual public square – including references to sex and gender, race, eating disorders or the diverse category of ‘mental health challenges' – says much about the current attitude among politicians and regulators. Concerns remain at the wide scope of proposals in the legislation. It recommends new rules to control online services, including search engines and user-generated content. It will also affect privacy by constraining end-to-end encryption. The law will compel tech firms, who already regulate and remove content they have decided is ‘problematic', to comply through fines and suspension, and requires they provide user tracking data on individuals who are considered to be breaking these laws. If and when the law is passed, it is now proposed that the lead time for compliance is reduced from 22 months to just two. Companies will have just over eight weeks from the royal assent of the law to make sure that they're in full compliance to avoid penalties. Despite these potentially draconian measures, there are undoubtedly new harms created by the online world. Are free-speech advocates being insensitive to what is novel about the internet as a threat? Trolling can go beyond unpleasant abuse to threats of violence. Children are far more likely to suffer at the hands of malicious bullying online than in the playground. Worse, such abuse can go viral. What do we do about child-safety concerns, viral sexting, online anonymous grooming, bad faith con-merchants and conspiracy-mongers passing off misinformation as fact? What of the potential psychological damage, particularly for those considered more socially and psychologically ‘at-risk'? Is it good enough to argue that these ‘crimes' are already protected by existing laws? In any event, safety issues and legislation may not even be the biggest free-speech issues online. In fact, perhaps it is Big Tech companies that have the real power. For example, Spotify has removed podcasts it deems politically unacceptable while PayPal has removed support for organisations critical of Covid policies and gender ideology. Does the online world, warts and all, present free-speech supporters with insurmountable problems? Or is free speech a fundamental societal value that must be fought for, whatever the consequences or regardless of the challenges of any new technology?

Most of us see payments innovation as the force that moves markets. That's true when it comes to user experience and the tech that moves money. But it is government regulation and business contract rules that guide and control what financial services players can, and can't, do with their shiny new tools. Or crusty old ones. Regulation in the US is a complex, multi-layered reality for incumbents and fintechs alike. In this Payments on Fire® episode, Jennifer Aguilar, Sr. Associate at law firm Alston & Bird, provides a crisp review of payment system rules, federal and state regulations, Regs E and Z, and more. https://pof.glenbrook.com/

Action Steps: Keep the main thing the main thing. In other words, determine what feeds your soul (e.g., family, friends, prayer) and keep that central in all you do. Check in with yourself quarterly. Schedule time every three months to ensure the things you are doing line up with your purpose for that season of your life. Put your first self-check on your calendar today. Value your relationships. Invest in the ones that matter because they are the ones that will provide you with your “mirror moments.”  Create spaces to celebrate others. Even a small space to acknowledge another's commitment to positive change will help you learn to find the ways we all connect to each other.

With climate change now a global issue, legislation is increasingly being introduced to ensure countries remain committed to lowering their carbon footprint. In this episode, Dr Matthias Lang, Partner at Bird & Bird LLP, explores the role the legal sector is playing in the global energy transition, including how regulation can act as a technology innovation enabler. As outlined in DNV's Energy Transition Outlook 2019 report, the world needs to see “extraordinary policy action” if we are going to meet The Paris Agreement goals by 2030. Matthias explores why lawyers and policymakers should be supporting public and private sector businesses in understanding that change can be introduced efficiently at the same time as delivering positive results.

Michael Kessler, a partner in the New York REIT practice of Alston & Bird LLP, was a guest on the latest episode of Nareit’s REIT Report podcast. Kessler discussed the next wave of innovative ideas and concepts that are emerging in the REIT sector. One area that is generating attention is clean energy and Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) loans, Kessler said. These provide incentives and regulatory frameworks to enable private capital, including mREITs, to fund energy efficiency improvements in residential and commercial properties. Many states have adopted PACE programs or are actively considering them, according to Kessler, adding that estimates point to hundreds of billions of dollars of improvements needing funding over time. Kessler sees opportunity zones as another area of interest. While not every opportunity zone strategy is right for a REIT, such as a fix-and-flip strategy, “many other strategies could work nicely using a REIT platform and potentially see better valuations.”

State Attorneys General often investigate antitrust violations – ranging from price fixing to anticompetitive mergers – in conjunction with the federal antitrust enforcement agencies (the U.S. Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission). But recently the nation’s AGs have more frequently taken the lead, conducting their own investigations and initiating independent enforcement actions. Are these examples of state AGs merely utilizing their own statutory authority to protect their constituents? Are they filling a vacuum when federal authorities choose not to act? Or are they becoming the equivalent of national regulators? An experienced panel of antitrust practitioners and representatives from state AG offices will share their perspectives on the impact of increased antitrust enforcement by the state AGs and what businesses and their counsel need to understand about it.Featuring: Vic Domen, Senior Antitrust Counsel, Tennessee Attorney General’s Office, Nashville, TN (Chair, National Association of Attorneys General Multistate Antitrust Task Force)Jennifer Thomson, Senior Deputy Attorney General, Antitrust Section, Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office, Harrisburg, PAJeffrey Oliver, Senior Associate, Baker Botts L.L.P., Washington, DCIan Conner, Deputy Director of the Bureau of Competition, Federal Trade Commission, Washington DC Moderator: Adam Biegel, Co-chair, Antitrust Team, and Partner, Alston & Bird LLP, Washington, DCTeleforum calls are open to all dues paying members of the Federalist Society.
