Podcasts about lead counsel

Welcome back to my new series Free Speech Friday! :) Right now, lawmakers in congress are trying to pass the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA), a dangerous censorship bill that would give the government unprecedented control over the internet and force platforms to spy on youth.KOSA claims to make kids "safer" online, but don't let the name fool you. This law would give the government unprecedented power to censor speech across the entire internet in the name of "protecting kids."From mental health support communities to LGBTQ forums, KOSA endangers the very spaces young people turn to for help, identity, and connection. KOSA isn't about safety, it's about giving the government unprecedented control over speech. Ari Cohen is the Lead Counsel for Tech Policy at the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE), a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to defending and promoting free speech rights for all Americans. He joined me to break down KOSA and explain the many problems with the proposed law. If you believe in a free and open internet, please join me in sending a message to your lawmakers right now and tell them to reject KOSA:https://www.fightforthefuture.org/actions/censorship-wont-make-kids-safe***** Buy a subscription to my Tech and Online Culture newsletter, User Magazine to support my work!!

Alpine Securities Corp. v. Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“Alpine’) raises a challenge to the constitutionality of the structure and regulatory authority of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. Alpine Securities, a brokerage firm, argues that the structure of FINRA violates the U.S. Constitution, particularly the Appointments Clause (Article II, Section 2), and the separation of powers doctrine. The company contends that FINRA, which operates as a self-regulatory organization (SRO), is improperly structured because its disciplinary and regulatory authority is exercised without sufficient oversight by the federal government or the President, who would normally appoint officers exercising such powers.Alpine's central argument is that FINRA's board members are not appointed by the President, nor are they subject to Senate confirmation, as required by the Appointments Clause and the private non-delegation doctrine for officers of the United States. Alpine contends that, as a private, non-governmental entity, FINRA is composed of individuals who are not accountable to the public or elected officials in the same way that government agencies are. This, Alpine argues, makes its regulatory and enforcement powers unconstitutional. FINRA argues, however, that its regulations and enforcement decisions are under close scrutiny by the SEC, and, thus, that this delegation of federal power to it, a private regulator, is constitutionally permissible. FINRA also worries that accepting Alpine’s arguments could bring destabilizing and potentially disastrous consequences to the self-regulatory framework of the markets.The case involves questions about the balance between public regulatory authority and private self-regulation within the securities industry. The outcome could have significant implications for the structure of SROs like FINRA, which play a key role in regulating the securities industry but operate outside the direct control of the government.The Corporations, Securities & Antitrust Practice Group of the Federalist Society is pleased to present this FedSoc Forum on the Alpine case. Join us in discussing the arguments raised in the case and the DC Circuit’s opinion, as well as the implications for securities industry self-regulation going forward.Featuring:Brian Barnes, Partner, Cooper & Kirk PLLC, Lead Counsel for AlpineW.

Craig Schwartz is the Head of Legal at Covariant, an AI and robotics company out of Berkeley. He is a veteran tech lawyer with 20 years of experience at the intersection of emerging technology and regulated markets. Craig previously worked for Palantir Technologies, where he led the USG Partnerships team and served as Lead Counsel for the Intelligence Community business. Now at Covariant, Craig is part of a team building foundational models for the physical world, focusing on automation and AI integration in industrial settings. In this episode… Europe's aging workforce is fueling a growing demand for automated labor solutions, with US-based AI robotics companies stepping in to fill the gap. But this trend isn't just about technological innovation. For US-based companies entering the European market, success in this landscape requires a deep understanding of product capabilities and the global regulatory environment. To stay ahead, companies must make informed decisions on ethical AI use and on how to handle data — from collection to storage to use — without stepping on any global regulatory toes.  With emerging regulations like the EU AI Act and Internet of Things (IoT) legislation, it's now more important than ever for companies to integrate privacy considerations into product design from the start. By adopting privacy-by-design principles early on, companies like Covariant can meet anticipated global compliance requirements and create operational efficiencies, demonstrating their proactive approach to these regulatory challenges. In this week's episode of She Said Privacy/He Said Security, Jodi and Justin Daniels chat with Craig Schwartz, the Head of Legal at Covariant, who shares invaluable insights on navigating the complex intersection of AI, robotics, and international privacy regulations. Craig explains the steps Covariant takes to stay ahead of global privacy regulations. He also discusses the critical need for legal professionals in tech to immerse themselves in technical product knowledge, the challenges of applying existing global privacy laws, such as GDPR, to cutting-edge technologies, and the potential impact of antitrust policies on innovation in the AI space.

As we continue to work towards a greener Canada, a big part of the plan is the ‘move' toward Electric Vehicles, with the Federal Government going so far as to have mandates for them. But, are these EV mandates actually reachable? We discuss with Dan McTeague, President of Canadians for Affordable Energy. Next. Earlier this week, “Legal Aid Alberta” announced that its contract with the Province was terminated. What's behind this decision and how will this impact Albertans who use the service? We get the thoughts of Peter Sankoff, Professor of Law at the University of Alberta and Lead Counsel at Sankoff Criminal Law.   And finally, with Stampede kicking off, it's the perfect time to chat about the ‘business' of Stampede and how to make the most of the ten-day extravaganza! We catch up with Ellen Parker, CEO and Owner of “Parker PR” for some timely-tips to help make your ‘brand' shine during the “Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth”.

The NCAA and the Power 5 conferences reached a historic proposed settlement in the House, Hubbard, and Carter cases, that will not only provide over $2.7B in back damages to eligible college athletes who don't opt out of the settlement, and will create a revenue sharing model going forward (among many other things), but will also attempt to limit the possibility of other antitrust lawsuits in the present and the future challenging restrictions on athlete compensation.  One of those other lawsuits is Fontenot vs. the NCAA, an antitrust suit first brought in federal court in Colorado last year by the law firm Korein Tillery, led by Garrett Broshius. Garrett joins the pod to break down why he's bringing the case, how the House settlement impacts his case, his view on the House settlement, and why he's not ready to settle.  Thank you for listening! For the latest in sports law news and analysis, you can follow Gabe Feldman on twitter @sportslawguy .

The NCAA has reached a landmark proposed settlement in its three major antitrust cases that will require the NCAA to pay nearly $2.78 billion in back damages and permit schools to share up to 22% of their revenue with college athletes.  This is arguably the biggest development in the history of college sports. To help break it all down, I'm joined by the lead lawyer for the NCAA, Rakesh Kilaru.  Rakesh walks us through the major terms of the settlement, explains why it happened when it happened, how this will impact future lawsuits against the NCAA, issues that still need to be decided, what it means for the future of the NCAA and the power conferences, and everything else you could possibly want to know.  Thank you for listening!

From representing Yoko Ono to winning class action lawsuits on behalf of actors and musicians, Neville Johnson and his partner Douglas Johnson (no relationship) have built one of the most interesting and successful entertainment law practices in the nation, specializing in representing “talent” as opposed to the business side of the industry.  Join Rahul and Ben for a fascinating discussion with Neville and Doug, as they describe how they got their start in this practice, recount some of their most interesting cases, and talk about trends in entertainment law resulting from new technologies. About Neville Johnson - Senior PartnerWebsite: Johnson and Johnson, LLP Law Firm | Johnson and Johnson, LLP (jjllplaw.com) Professional Experience:Neville L. Johnson graduated Phi Beta Kappa from the University of California, Berkeley (1971).  He received his law degree from Southwestern Law School (1975), graduating near the top of his class.  He has tried over 28 civil jury trials and over 70 civil trials and arbitrations without a jury. He is a member of the invitation-only American Board of Trial Advocates (ABOTA), and is on the Board of Governors of the Consumer Attorneys of Los Angeles (CAALA since 2005), the Board of Directors of the national organization Public Justice, and on the Board of Governors of the Beverly Hills Bar Association 2013-2015 and 2020-2022 (BHBA).

He has also served as an adjunct professor at Southwestern Law School since 2012, where he teaches Entertainment and Media Litigation. However, his greatest pride has been in defending the privacy rights of all citizens against the worst malefactors in the media. His work in this field was perhaps best summarized by Professor David A. Elder, a leading expert on the law of privacy, who published the following special dedication in his treatise, Privacy Torts: To Neville L. Johnson… who has led the charge, often successfully (and always creatively and with great passion) in exposing some of the worst outrages of media newsgathering. Neville ranks with Brandeis and Warren as the great defenders of privacy.

On this episode of Cut to the Chase: podcast, one of the lead counsel in the 3M Combat Earplug litigation cases representating the veterans, Mike Burns, discusses where things stand in the largest mass tort ever with over 230,000 veterans trying to get fair compensation from 3M after wearing defective earplugs that caused widespread hearing loss and tinnitus on our soldiers.   3M tried to get bankruptcy protection after losing against 13 of 19 veterans, but the bankruptcy court rejected that petition.   Meanwhile 3M has taken an appeal on that denial and against the 13 victorious veterans.    So not one soldier has been compensated.   The Judge ended the year by issuing an Order establishing that 3M was the sole party responsible for any of these 230000 cases.   Listen to Mike explain what all this means for the 230000 cases pending in front of Judge Rogers from the Northern District of Florida and the appellate courts.

Corey Stern is a partner at the New York based law firm of Levy Konigsberg where he works on environmental cases with a focus on children's right. Corey received a random call from a woman in a homeless shelter about dirty water so he dug in and that started him down a path that has led him to be Lead Counsel in the Flint Michigan Water Crisis case where he currently represents over 10,000 families/children who have been effected from contaminants in the city drinking water. Corey recently orchestrated a $600+ million settlement against the State of Michigan and is currently involved in additional litigation with other entities involved in the crisis. Corey just finished a 7 month bellwether trial that will help set the stage for the remainder of this ongoing litigation. I first met Corey over 20 years ago in Athens, GA. Corey is also a “Double Dawg” – graduate of UGA undergrad and UGA Law School and we talk about the connections he made at Law School and how it has shaped his legal career. Corey discusses why he took his first job out of Law School clerking for a judge and how that helped steer him on a path to representing Plaintiffs in personal injury cases to starting his own law firm to moving his family to New York for his current job. Corey is a tireless worker and advocate for those who have been harmed because of environmental issues and consistently holds those accountable who causes these problems. Aside from this Flint Michigan litigation, Corey has cases going in Mississippi and New York dealing with similar water contamination issues. Corey is a die hard Georgia Bulldog Football fan so we of course we spend time talking about the state of the program and prospects towards repeating as champions. Corey is also a die hard New York Mets fan so we take his temperature of the state of the club. Corey can be found at https://www.levylaw.com/our-team/corey-m-stern/.

The Inquiry into Abuse in Care says abuse in state care of disabled, deaf and people who suffered mental distress was overt and systemic. The Royal Commission opens a public hearing on Monday in Auckland focusing on state institutions which provided care for these people between 1950 and 1999.
