There is growing concern among parents and policymakers over the Internet's harms to children—from online pornography to social media. Despite that, Congress hasn't passed any legislation on children's online safety in decades. And while psychologists continue to debate whether and to what extent certain Internet content harms children, several states have stepped into the fray, passing legislation aimed at protecting kids in the digital age. One such state is Texas where Governor Greg Abbott signed HB 1181 in June of 2023.The bill requires adult or online pornography websites to verify the age of users to prevent users under the age of 18 from accessing those sites. A group representing online porn sites sued, and the bill was enjoined by a district court, then partially upheld by the Fifth Circuit, and will now be heard by the Supreme Court in Free Speech Coalition v. Paxton, with oral arguments scheduled for January 15.The ruling in this case could have major implications for efforts to regulate the online world both at the state and federal level—not just for porn but other online content social media. On today's show, Evan moderates a debate on the following resolution: Texas's Age Verification (AV) Law is Constitutional and AV laws are an effective means of protecting children from online harms.Arguing for the resolution is Adam Candeub, senior fellow at Center for Renewing America, professor of law at michigan state university, and formerly acting assistant secretary of commerce for telecommunications and information under President Trump. Arguing against the resolution is Robert Corn-Revere, chief counsel at the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE). Before that he was a partner at Davis Wright Tremaine law firm for 20 years and served in government as chief counsel to former Federal Communications Commission Chairman James Quello. You can read FIRE's brief in the case here.

By Adam Turteltaub There's no General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the US. Absent a comprehensive, national privacy law, states have stepped in to fill the gap. As Adam Greene (LinkedIn), Partner at Davis Wright Tremaine explains in this podcast, that's creating some complications. The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) already differs from subsequent laws in several states which use language reminiscent of the GDPR. And while there are many similarities, some differences are substantial. For example, some state laws are targeted at businesses, not non-profits. That's an important distinction for healthcare with so many non-profit institutions. Perhaps the greatest challenge for organizations is figuring out which standard to follow, if any. Do they take a state-by-state approach, or one national approach based on the toughest state laws? Whatever the choice, it's important to determine what data you have since there may be limits on collection and a requirement to share that data with consumers who want to see it. Listen in to learn more about what the states are requiring and what you need to do to meet their expectations.

This Day in Legal History: The Stamp Act of 1765On this day, March 22, 1765, a pivotal event in the prelude to the American Revolution occurred when the British Parliament enacted the Stamp Act. This legislation required that a wide array of documents within the American colonies—ranging from newspapers and legal documents to playing cards and dice—be printed on specially stamped paper produced in London, carrying an embossed revenue stamp. This act marked the first direct tax imposed by Britain on its American colonies, designed to raise funds to pay for the British troops stationed in North America after the French and Indian War.The Stamp Act ignited a firestorm of protest across the American colonies. Colonists united under the banner of "No taxation without representation," arguing that the British Parliament had no authority to levy taxes on them since they were not represented in the House of Commons. This principle challenged the very foundation of British authority in the colonies and set the stage for the escalating conflict that would eventually lead to the American Revolution.The colonies' response was swift and decisive. By October 1765, the Stamp Act Congress convened in New York City, bringing together representatives from nine of the thirteen colonies. This Congress was a significant step towards colonial unity, drafting a detailed petition to King George III and the British Parliament, demanding the repeal of the Stamp Act. They argued that only their own colonial assemblies had the legal authority to tax them.The Act also spurred the formation of secret societies, such as the Sons of Liberty, which organized protests and even intimidated stamp distributors, leading many to resign. The widespread boycott of British goods by American colonists further strained economic relations between the colonies and the mother country.The colonial resistance had a profound impact. By March 1766, less than a year after its enactment, the Stamp Act was repealed by Parliament, marking a significant victory for colonial opposition. However, the relief was short-lived as Parliament passed the Declaratory Act, asserting its right to legislate for the colonies "in all cases whatsoever," setting the stage for future conflicts.The Stamp Act and its repeal were crucial moments in American legal and political history, illustrating the colonies' growing resolve to govern themselves and laying the groundwork for their eventual fight for independence. This day marks not just a legislative act but a moment that galvanized the American spirit of liberty and self-determination.Law firms are reinforcing their diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives in response to conservative criticism and economic downturns, which have jeopardized recent advancements in diversity. Initiatives like increasing DEI education and clarifying the inclusivity of their programs are among the steps taken by firms such as Davis Wright Tremaine and Foley & Lardner. This response aims to sustain the progress made following the widespread calls for racial justice after George Floyd's murder in May 2020, which had led to a notable increase in the hiring of women and people of color. However, a Supreme Court decision and subsequent legal threats have pressured firms to modify their DEI practices, leading to a decline in the hiring of diverse candidates. The industry has witnessed a reduction in requests for diverse candidates and a significant drop in hiring amid a challenging economic climate, with global deal activity and recruitment of third-year law students declining. Despite these challenges, law firms remain committed to their diversity goals, as evidenced by the resilience of DEI fellowship programs and the positive outcomes for diversity fellows. This commitment is seen as crucial in maintaining diversity within the legal profession, despite the current political and economic headwinds.Law Firms Boost Diversity Defenses After Conservative BacklashIn a significant legal ruling, Sysco Corp. has been granted permission by a federal judge in Illinois to transfer its claims in a major chicken price-fixing lawsuit to Burford Capital Ltd., the external financier that provided $140 million in funding for the litigation. This decision comes after Burford Capital opposed Sysco's intentions to settle some of the claims for what it considered an insufficient amount, leading to an agreement that Burford would assume control of the claims. The move faced opposition from meat producers, who argued that Burford, being an outsider to the direct litigation, should not be allowed to take over the cases. This stance was somewhat supported by a previous ruling in Minnesota, where a judge denied a similar request by Burford to substitute itself in pork and beef price-fixing lawsuits, citing concerns that the funder's profit motives could obstruct settlement efforts. However, Judge Thomas M. Durkin's approval of Burford's substitution in the chicken litigation case marks a departure, emphasizing that such arrangements are increasingly common in modern litigation. This decision represents a notable victory for Burford Capital in its strategic litigation financing endeavors, highlighting the evolving dynamics of legal funding and the roles of external investors in litigation.Burford Notches Win in Quest to Take Over Sysco Chicken LawsuitsThe U.S. government's antitrust lawsuit against Apple, alleging monopolistic practices in the smartphone market, echoes the landmark 1998 case against Microsoft. However, legal experts believe that the differing market dynamics between Apple's current smartphone dominance and Microsoft's past control over desktop software present unique challenges for the government's case. The lawsuit accuses Apple of stifling competition and innovation through restrictive app developer policies, potentially leading to higher consumer prices. Apple, holding a 55% share of the North American smartphone market, contrasts with Microsoft's 95% desktop OS market share in the 1990s, suggesting a less clear-cut case of monopolistic behavior. Additionally, Apple faces significant global competition from Android, which commands a strong market presence outside North America. A previous antitrust case brought by Epic Games against Apple did not find that Apple users were unduly "locked-in" to its ecosystem, potentially complicating the government's position. Nonetheless, the Department of Justice and the Biden Administration's Federal Trade Commission are pursuing the case, reflecting a willingness to challenge big tech companies to foster competition and innovation in the sector.Apple antitrust suit mirrors strategy that beat Microsoft, but tech industry has changed | ReutersIn my column this week, I examine President Joe Biden's proposed housing tax credit, highlighted in his state of the union address, which aims to alleviate the financial burden for homeowners amidst high mortgage rates. I argue that while the intention behind the tax credit is commendable, its focus on demand rather than supply could exacerbate the existing housing imbalance. To truly foster homeownership, I suggest reforms to the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program to incentivize the construction of affordable homes. I also discuss the stalled Affordable Housing Credit Improvement Act of 2023 and propose radical supply-side reforms, such as more permissive tax-exempt financing for developers, to address the affordability crisis effectively.I critique the tax credit proposal for potentially favoring those who can afford higher upfront costs, thus disadvantaging lower-income buyers who need immediate relief. This, coupled with the proposal's year-end application, could inadvertently sideline the very demographic it aims to help. Moreover, without addressing the supply side of affordable housing, the policy might inflate prices further, making homeownership less accessible for first-time and lower-income buyers. Despite the good intentions behind Biden's proposal, I stress that solving the affordable housing crisis requires a comprehensive approach that balances supply and demand, and caters to the immediate financial needs of aspiring homeowners. Policymakers must prioritize long-term strategies over temporary fixes to ensure that homeownership is attainable for all Americans.Biden Housing Tax Credit Targets Demand, but Supply Is the IssueThis week's closing theme is by Jean Baptiste Lully.Jean-Baptiste Lully, born Giovanni Battista Lulli in Florence, Italy, in 1632, became one of the most influential composers of the French Baroque era and a founding father of French opera. His journey from Italian immigrant to the court composer for King Louis XIV of France is a remarkable tale of talent, ambition, and transformation. Lully's mastery of music and his ability to mirror the grandeur of the Sun King's reign through his compositions led him to become the superintendent of the king's music and the director of the Royal Academy of Music.Moving to France in his teens, Lully initially served as a dancer and violinist at the court of Louis XIV. His exceptional musical skills soon caught the attention of the king, leading to his appointment as the court composer. Lully's close relationship with Louis XIV allowed him to monopolize French opera, a position he maintained through a mix of talent and shrewd manipulation. He significantly contributed to the development of the tragédie lyrique, a genre combining French classic drama and ballet with music, which became immensely popular in the 17th century.One of Lully's most enduring works is "Le bourgeois gentilhomme," a comédie-ballet created in collaboration with the playwright Molière. First performed in 1670, this piece was commissioned by Louis XIV and is a satirical take on the pretensions of the social-climbing merchant class. The suite from "Le bourgeois gentilhomme," particularly its overture, showcases Lully's genius in blending witty musical themes with the elegance and majesty of the French court. The overture, with its lively and refined character, sets the tone for a work that is both entertaining and a subtle critique of contemporary society.Lully's influence extended beyond the confines of the opera house and the court, shaping the future of French music and leaving a legacy that endured well into the 18th century and beyond. His death in 1687, caused by gangrene from a wound sustained while conducting, marked the end of an era. Yet, through compositions like "Le bourgeois gentilhomme," Lully's genius continues to be celebrated for its pivotal role in the development of Western classical music.Without further ado, the overture from “Le bourgeois gentilhomme,” by Jean Baptiste Lully.

In this week's Legal Speak episode, Yusuf Zakir, Davis Wright Tremaine's chief diversity, equity and inclusion officer, speaks to what it's like to be a DEI leader at a time when the topic is under legal fire.

In this week's episode of Law.com's Legal Speak podcast, Law.com legal technology reporter Isha Marathe speaks with Vid Prabhakaran, Davis Wright Tremaine partner and member of its AI steering committee; and Dan Szabo, the firm's director of enterprise projects, about DWT's very own chatbot that looks a whole lot like ChatGPT.

In the recruiting phase, law firms can talk all day about flexibility, work-life-balance and the family-style connections among colleagues, but what happens when all those talking points get put to the test? This week's episode features an interview with Nick Warack, an attorney who received an ALS diagnosis while working at Davis Wright Tremaine. Warack talks about how, in the midst of crushing unknowns, his firm and coworkers provided him unwavering support in the aftermath of the news.

  This episode was recorded before the Supreme Court made its decision to gut affirmative action.  Knowing the make up of the Justices, we had a bad feeling about the ruling.  Unfortunately, we were right.  But even so, my conversation with Yusuf left me feeling hopeful about what we can do as individuals, communities, and organizations to create belonging in our personal lives and professional lives.  In this episode, we discuss: - What you can do to make big career changes, and break the glass ceiling to the C-suite as a person of color. - How your life can feel like a series of accidents, and what you can do to make sense of it and be more intentional about it. - How laws banning affirmative action have real devastating consequences, and what you can do as individuals and communities to curb its negative effects. - What you can do to create clear frameworks to support DEIB initiatives and get buy-in from leaders to create effective programs.  - Why the NALP reports from today and from 10 years ago show similar statistics and a lack of diversity, and how organizations can identify the gaps and close those gaps. - How you can identify whether folks are leaving because they want to or because they're not set up for success, and the systemic changes you can make to retain and promote diverse talent.  - Why it's important to intentionally create a mechanical sponsor program in the workplace instead of relying on it to work organically, and how that supports diverse talent to get into leadership roles.  - What you can learn from Barber Ranen, and what leaders can do and what organizations can do at the systemic level to not make the same mistakes.   - How you can't leave diversity work at work because your identities are a part of your lives, and what you can do to protect yourself from burnout.

By Adam Turteltaub At the 2023 HCCA Compliance Institute there is a sure to be fascinating roundtable discussion lead by Marti Arvin, Vice President, Chief Compliance Officer, Erlanger Health System, Joan M. Podleski, Chief Privacy Officer, Children's Health and Adam Greene, Partner, Davis Wright Tremaine, LLP. They will be addressing a range of privacy and data-related issues. In this podcast one of the topics they discuss are the complexities around access. Often, for example, raw data is not kept in the main health information management system (HIMS). Another challenge is proper website disclosures and how visitor data is used and shared. OCR has issued guidance in this area that has earned a great deal of attention. But, it is likely to be a hard problem to solve since organizations will need to determine exactly what data they are collecting, using and storing. To help manage these issues they strongly argue for investing the time and effort in developing clear processes for responding to data requests. Then, monitor to ensure the policies are being followed. Take time also to understand what is in your designated record set and where it is stored. Then make sure your HIMS understands what qualifies as the designated record set. It's time also to reassess how your organization is managing telehealth now that the public health emergency is ending. There will be decreased flexibility and increased emphasis on keeping these interactions on HIPAA-compliant platforms. When you do move onto one of these platforms, be sure to have a business associate agreement. When looking at technology, they advise compliance be a part of decisions related to the use of patient apps. Whether your organization is thinking of building its own or relying on a third party, it's essential that the privacy requirements be a part of the discussion from the start. Listen in to a provocative conversation, but, be warned. It's going to make you want to join them in person at the HCCA Compliance Institute, April 23-26 in Anaheim, and online April 24-26.

I've taught mat-based Pilates, Spin, CoreMania, Silver Sneakers, Adaptive Strength Training, Yoga, Total Body Conditioning, Bootcamps, etc. I work with many organizations, and have taught onsite and online corporate classes at Google, Adobe, Davis Wright Tremaine, McKinstry, EXOS, Fremont Athletic Club, and more. I've coached runners for 15+ years and served as Head Coach for SoleMates for GOTRPS for 5 years. I hold Yoga Teacher Certification RYT200 (2015), STOTT Pilates Mat-based practice training (2010), and a certification as a Holistic Health Coach from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (2013). I completed the 9 month Body Trust Project: School for Unlearning in 2021 and the Promoting Body Trust in Your Work for Practitioners in 2022, both hosted by Be Nourished. I'm dedicated to creating an environment for movement that is equitable, accessible, and diverse. Social justice is paramount and I strive to continue growing in my ability to be of service and support to groups traditionally excluded by the diet/wellness industrial complex. I recently completed a 3 workshop program with Dianne Bondy and Amber Karen's with “Yoga For All” on the topics of implicit bias in movement spaces, using trauma-informed language to create affirming spaces, and adapting Yoga asana for all bodies. In July 2022 I successfully completed a 9 month Process-Oriented Facilitation (somatic interventions) program led by David Bedrick, JD, Dipl PW. Most recently I completed EXOS education's course, “The Applied Neuroscience of Peak Performance”. I'm currently pursuing the GGS-1 Women's Coaching Specialist Certification with additional study regarding movement and PCOS, strength training specific to Menopause, and pre/post-natal considerations for movement. When it comes down to it, I'm really just a queer, anxious, fat cis woman who grew up in a suburb of Chicago. I now live in Seattle, WA with my incredibly patient and kind wife of 12 years (almost 13 years) and our 3 dogs; Oliver (Boxador), Pumpkin (Italian Greyhound/Chihuaua), and Emmie (Chihuahua). Would you believe me if I told you that my wife and I met on Craigslist? Lol. I looooove live music, random acts of kindness, paddle boarding on Lake Washington, and cozy nights watching some sort of trashy television. I love movement in many different forms and I do the work that I do because I'm passionate about it – and I love to use that passion for movement to support others. I love triathlons, a really good slice of pizza, saying hello to every dog I meet – ever, and reading trashy books on the beach.

In this episode I speak with Bradford Hardin who chairs Davis Wright Tremaine's national banking and financial services practice where he frequently supports banks, credit unions, and innovative FinTech companies through high-risk examinations and enforcement investigations at the state and federal levels. Bradford also advises on regulatory compliance and new product development. In his career, he has worked with large banks and fast-moving challengers alike in developing innovative new products, overcoming regulatory barriers, and getting to market. Bradford started his career as a Law Clerk in the Middle District of Alabama and then worked at WilmerHale in its DC office before moving to Davis Wright Tremaine. He is a graduate of the University of South Alabama and the University of Alabama Law School. In our conversation we discuss his path from litigation to a counseling, investigations, and regulatory practice; what he does in his role as a banking lawyer (and law firm practice leader); how he broke into the DC market from his start in Alabama (and how others can make the move to new legal markets); the importance of being autodidactic and constantly learning as a junior attorney; his approach to providing exceptional client service that goes beyond just being responsive; finding your niche in the law; how to stay in the law by being willing to pivot if your first job is not the perfect fit; and the importance of a team and sticking to your sweet spot.

Oct 3rd is the 26th anniversary of O.J. Simpson's acquittal of murdering his ex-wife, Nicole. This song and photo of the 1995 PC diskette of “O.J.-oh!” (to the Harry Belafonte tune of “Day-O”) by song parodist, Loose Bruce Kerr, was the first & only song release of its kind on that medium, including stereo audio with dynamic graphics long before the popularity of the computer video revolution a decade later. It was a collaboration between engineer, Lee Baxter of Campbell, CA and Kerr of Mountain View, CA, both cities in Silicon Valley. The song's audio track is a live performance by Loose Bruce but includes his multitrack recorded background instruments and vocals, a feature of his live solo act in the 1980's and ‘90's. He opened for “Weird Al” Yankovic and his song parodies and originals have played on the Dr. Demento Show over 140 times over the decades. “O.J.-oh!” reached #1 on that program's “Funny 5” in May & June of 1995 as the O.J. criminal trial progressed toward acquital in October. The diskette for sale at Tower Records locations in Silicon Valley was packaged in a clear plastic glove evoking Simpson's lawyer, Johnnie Cochran's courtroom statement to the jury, “If it doesn't fit (Simpson)/You must acquit!” Kerr went on to become Assistant General Counsel of Sun Microsystems in Silicon Valley in the 2000's after retiring from his 20 year performing career. After 11 years at Oracle, Kerr then became a contract attorney at Seattle law firm, Davis Wright Tremaine where he works today. He lives with his wife, Linda and their 2 cats in northern California and works remotely. email: BKerrLaw@aol.com

Hollywood's Motion Picture Production Code, popularly referred to as the Hays Code, loomed over films in every stage of movie production from 1934 to 1968. Scripts were reviewed and altered. Actors and filmmakers were forced to redo entire scenes. Editors were asked to cut dialogue and scenes from films. Music was changed. Ultimately, directors had to be cognizant of the censors at all times. In this episode of So to Speak: The Free Speech Podcast, we interview three prominent guests to track the history of film censorship and the eventual demise of the Hays Code. John Billheimer, author of “Hitchcock and the Censors (Screen Classics),” explains Alfred Hitchcock's unique methods for dealing with controversial subject matter. Laura Wittern-Keller is a professor in the History department at the University at Albany and author of several books on film censorship, including “Freedom of the Screen: Legal Challenges to State Film Censorship, 1915-1981” and “The Miracle Case: Film Censorship and the Supreme Court.” Bob Corn-Revere, partner at Davis Wright Tremaine, is a frequent guest on the show. His forthcoming book “The Mind of the Censor and the Eye of the Beholder: The First Amendment and the Censor's Dilemma,” is due out in October. Show notes: Transcript Mutual Film Corp. v.

Alarmed by ransomware, the White House has been telling the private sector to get serious about cybersecurity. Just this month, a letter to corporate executives and business leaders, urged companies to do what amounts to basic cybersecurity. It told companies they have a key and distinct responsibility. For what it all could mean, Federal Drive's Tom Temin talked to partner and information security group practice leader at the law firm Davis Wright Tremaine, Michael Borgia.

Robert Corn-Revere is considered by many people to be the preeminent First Amendment lawyer in America. He is a partner in the Washington, D.C. office of Davis Wright Tremaine and an adjunct scholar at the Cato Institute. He has argued and been involved with some of the most significant and controversial First Amendment cases of the past 30 years. We discuss how Bob was able to get a pardon for Lenny Bruce, the importance of defending speech especially when it's unpopular, and some of the Supreme Court cases he has worked on. –––– Support the podcast and join the Honest Offense community at https://honestoffense.locals.com​​​​​​ Other ways to support the podcast: https://www.ericcervone.com/contribute​

Cohen is read by Robert Corn-Revere, First Amendment media lawyer and partner at Davis Wright Tremaine. Legal Question: Whether arresting someone for wearing a jacket that says “Fuck the Draft” under a California statute which prohibits “offensive conduct” violated the First Amendment. Action: The application of the statute to Cohen's expression was ruled to be unconstitutional because it did not meet the standard for fighting words or obscenity. The Court also rejected the state's reasoning that they needed to protect unwilling viewers from Cohen's display, noting that viewers “could effectively avoid further bombardment of their sensibilities by averting their eyes.” Justice Harlan delivered the opinion of the Court, at 00:41 Justice Blackmun, dissenting, at 24:03 This opinion's citations have been edited down for ease of listening.

As AI becomes more advanced, we'll continue to see it more frequently in our everyday lives. Nowhere is that more clear, or complicated, than on our roads. The roads of the future are going to be different, and AI technology will have to fit into a legal system that we've created specifically for the humans behind the wheels. The legal framework for AI is shaped by our early experiences with the technology, but it also has to depend heavily on simulations. It's about contemplating every possible what-if scenario and preparing for it so that safety remains paramount. With that in mind, the legal questions start to roll in. Who bears responsibility for traffic violations or accidents involving automated vehicles? How do we reap the benefits of AI responsibly while minimizing the risks? In this episode of the Women Driving the Future series, Ed Bernardon interviews Katherine Sheriff. Katherine is an Associate at Davis Wright Tremaine, and she's long been a pioneer in the area of AI law. When she was on the show two years ago, AI in transportation was a far-away dream. Today, that's changed so much that even university courses have been shaped around this rapidly growing field. Today, we'll talk about the evolution of AI law in recent years, the need to educate consumers about autonomous vehicles and terminology, and the increasing complexity of the legal system as AI continues to grow. Some Questions I Ask:Why is AI Law so important? (5:22)What have been the biggest changes over the past couple of years? (8:39)Is AI legally considered a “person”? (24:51)What are the easy rules that apply to autonomous vehicles and AI? (44:14)How do you know what, and the level of aggressiveness, to program into AI? (50:53)Can AI really be considered a person?

Second graders should be spending their time practicing subtraction and building baking soda volcanos. But our 8-year-old client – we’ll call him James – instead learned how to bathe in a communal sink and take two bus lines to get from a makeshift homeless shelter to school. In Episode 8: Four Walls and a Door, Partner Allison Holt Ryan and Senior Associate Lance Murashige describe the conditions where James, his grandmother, and other homeless families stayed during the “polar vortex” that swept through D.C. in 2014. On top of the already traumatic impact of homelessness on the child, James was sleeping on a gymnasium floor next to strangers, using a shared bathroom with men he didn’t know, with no alternative but a laundromat or a bench in Union Station. With our help, James and other homeless children were provided with the safety and stability of private rooms on freezing nights. Also in this episode, Senior Counsel Stan Brown and Chava Brandriss, a partner at Davis Wright Tremaine, discuss the 13-year legal battle to eliminate an exclusionary zoning ordinance on Long Island that intentionally and unlawfully discriminated against people of color.

The modern legal ecosystem and all its allied professionals is the topic of discussion with Lucy Bassli, founder of InnoLaw Group (formerly InnoLegal Services) and Chief Legal Strategist at Law Geex. Lucy started her career in Big Law (at Davis Wright Tremaine) and ultimately landed a job in Microsoft’s legal department where she served as Assistant General Counsel. At Microsoft, Lucy was responsible for, among other things, the legal department’s procurement operations and contract management systems. Lucy left Microsoft in 2017 and started InnoLaw Group–part law firm and part consultancy–where she helps law firms and law departments develop new ways to deliver and receive legal services. In her role as Chief Legal Strategist for Law Geex, Lucy advises on the use of artificial intelligence in contracting, helps with product roadmaps, consults with corporate customers, and assists with the development of go-to-market strategies. Lucy discusses the players in the modern legal ecosystem (regulators, industry groups, service providers, consumers of legal services and educators) and why to be really successful and efficient, all of them should work together. She also explains what it means to be a unicorn lawyer–a lawyer that knows law, but also loves, understands and values process and technology. We also talk about the “Big 4” entering the legal market and how law firm associates have a real opportunity to push for change. Technically Legal is hosted by Chad Main, an attorney and the founder of Percipient, a tech-enabled alternative legal services provider.

Join host Rud Blumentritt of HORNE for Part 2 of our discussion with Bob Homchick of Davis Wright Tremaine where we learn more about healthcare transactions during the global pandemic.

What's on the horizon for healthcare transactions as we emerge from a global pandemic? How has COVID-19 affected the way we value healthcare entities? Join host Rud Blumentritt and guest Bob Homchick of Davis Wright Tremaine as we dig into these questions and more on episode one of Buy-In.

Post By: Adam Turteltaub A hospital has a patient with COVID-19. Can it share this information with the media if the patient isn’t named? A patient in the ER hears the person in the next room coughing. He asks if that person has COVID-19. Can you tell him? An employee tells her boss she has COVID-19. What can the boss tell the rest of the office? The corona virus pandemic has led to endless questions about what is and isn’t permissible in both healthcare and other settings. Tackling the issues in this podcast are Joan Podleski, Chief Privacy Officer, Children’s Health; Marti Arvin, Executive Advisor, CynergisTek; and Adam Greene, Partner, Davis Wright Tremaine. As they explain, for healthcare organizations, there needs, as always, to be great sensitivity to HIPAA and what is considered personal health information (PHI). For employers in the rest of industry, HIPAA generally doesn’t apply but the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) may limit what you can and cannot share. It can even affect how you store the information about a COVID-19 patient in your systems. Compliance teams need to be alert to these and many other potential issues. Our podcast guests also advise compliance teams to ensure that IT systems are being used properly by remote employees. The family sitting around the dinner table is great at dinner, but not if there is PHI that the kids can see. Listen in to learn more about permissible, impermissible and accidental disclosures in the time of COVID-19.

New technologies and the censorship instinct seem to go hand-in-hand. From the first days of the printing press, to the rise of radio and the telephone, to the advent of the internet, innovations in mass communication are often followed by a fear of what will happen if these novelties are left unrestricted — or uncensored. On today’s episode of So to Speak, we speak with former Federal Communications Commission chief counsel and current Davis Wright Tremaine partner Bob Corn-Revere about what it means for censorship to be the “bastard child of technology.” www.sotospeakpodcast.com Follow us on Twitter: twitter.com/freespeechtalk Like us on Facebook: facebook.com/sotospeakpodcast Email us: sotospeak@thefire.org Call in a question: 215-315-0100

Do What You’re Comfortable With and Good At  Roy Salins Bio Today’s guest is Davis Wright Tremaine LLP, Partner, Roy Salins. For Roy staying in touch with people comes naturally. Be positive about what you do with everyone you come in contact with – not just your business connections. Roy opts for direct communication versus blast emails. Sending an article with a tailored note that says specifically why the information provided is important to the client. Busy people will take 5 minutes to talk with you. Check in, ask about what they’re working on, be interested not interesting. Offer to brainstorm – at no cost. You can sell anything once but if the work isn’t excellent you’ll never get it again. Stay in touch, do good work, be responsive, be efficient.  Over the long term and with a volume of work – the data gathered by firms on work done at a client will be of value to the client. Referrals result from excellent work, well received.

On the coattails of presidential support and possible regulations from the Federal Communications Commission, Net Neutrality makes its way back into public debate. Proponents claim it will keep the internet a level playing field while opponents believe the opposite. One side worries about oppressive corporations while the other is concerned about oppressive government. Not surprisingly, opinions for or against tend to follow political party lines. On this episode of Lawyer 2 Lawyer, host J. Craig Williams interviews Chris Fedeli from Judicial Watch and Professor Jonathan Askin from Brooklyn Law School. Together they discuss the meaning of net neutrality, the pros and cons of regulating, and what it takes to keep the internet innovative. Tune in to hear about free market principles, consumer protection, and data packet discrimination. Chris Fedeli is a senior attorney with Judicial Watch where he has litigated multiple cases in state and federal courts concerning election integrity, ballot initiatives and referendums, and government transparency. Prior to joining Judicial Watch, Fedeli was a senior associate at Davis Wright Tremaine in Washington D.C., where he represented clients in communications law litigation and regulatory proceedings. In 2009, the ABA's Communications Lawyer published Fedeli's article criticizing the FCC for its net neutrality regulations, which have since been overturned twice by the DC Circuit. Professor Jonathan Askin is a professor at Brooklyn Law School where he teaches technology, telecommunications, and entrepreneurial law and policy. He is also the Founder of the Brooklyn Law Incubator and Policy Clinic, which represents internet, new media, communications and other tech entrepreneurs on business development, policy advocacy, and law reform. During the 2008 Presidential Election, Askin chaired the Internet Governance Working Group for the 2008 Obama Presidential Campaign. Special thanks to our sponsor, Clio.
