Host Lynda A. Bennett is joined by Freda L. Wolfson, former Chief Judge of the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey and Chair of Lowenstein's Alternative Dispute Resolution group; Michael A. Kaplan, partner in Lowenstein's White Collar Criminal Defense group, and Ruth Fong Zimmerman, an associate in the Litigation Department, to talk about the emergence of mass arbitrations and mediations in the class action space. Mandatory arbitration clauses were originally intended as a way to avoid expensive class actions; now they are being leveraged by litigation funders to generate massive arbitration fees before anything is known about the asserted claims. Targeted advertising, automated claims filing systems, data aggregation, and even artificial intelligence, are being used to generate thousands of individual arbitration claims in what is essentially a mass arbitration. In this episode, the panel discusses this emerging trend, including the options available to companies hit with these types of requests and how the insurance industry may react to it.

For 10 years, the Liberal federal government has denied climate change science and slow-walked the transition to renewable energy. Yesterday's historic defeat for this coalition will change all that and likely lead to an EV surge.''  - They are not hanging about — Labor's Electric Car Discount will begin on 1 July 2022, the beginning of the new financial year, and only 5 weeks away! - ‘'Australians love their cars. Multiple car ownership is common (I used to own three — one for me, one for the wife, and one as a toy). Because of this, passenger cars make up almost 10 per cent of Australia's CO2 emissions. To move Australians from fossil fuel burning cars to electric vehicles powered by renewable energy, Labor proposes exempting EVs from the 5% import tax and the 47% fringe benefits tax (a similar move to the UK government, which led to a spectacular increase in uptake).'' Original Source : EV Surge Likely After Labor Wins In Australia - CleanTechnica EVs are avoiding about 3% of global oil demand - ‘Plug-in vehicles avoided roughly 1.5 million barrels of oil per day last year, according to new analysis from Bloomberg New Energy Finance. That's about one-fifth of Russia's pre-invasion oil exports, Bloomberg NEF said.' - ‘The oil use avoided by EVs has also doubled since 2015, to about 3% of global demand, according to the analysis.' - While electric cars tend to get most of the attention, the analysis found that other vehicle types accounted for the most oil avoidance. Electric two- and three-wheeled vehicles—which tend to be popular in Asia—accounted for 67% of the oil demand avoided in 2021, according to Bloomberg NEF. - Those vehicles had an outsized impact on oil demand. Next in rank were electric buses, which accounted for 16% of avoided oil demand, followed by passenger vehicles at 13%. The latter were the fastest-growing segment, Bloomberg NEF noted.

This week our guest on the podcast is Grigory Vaypan. Until recently, Grigory was head of the Litigation Department at the Institute for Law and Public Policy where he led strategic human rights litigation before the Constitutional Court of Russia and the European Court of Human Rights. Since 2013, Grigory has been developing the practice of amicus curiae at the Constitutional Court of Russia. Grigory teaches seminars on constitutional litigation and writes articles on constitutional law and international law. The topics discussed in the podcast include: Legal education in Russia and the U.S. (at Moscow State University and Harvard Law School); The Galina Starovoitova Fellowship at the Kennan Institute; Why become a lawyer/advocate specialising in human rights issues; Court cases; Institute for Law and Public Policy; The International Federation for Human Rights report: ‘Russia: Crimes Against History'; Last year's Constitutional Amendments; the European Court of Human Rights; The laws on ‘foreign agents' and ‘undesirable foreign organisations'; Young lawyers in Russia today; The future of the justice system and human rights in Russia. This podcast is in Russian. You can also listen to the podcast on our website or on SoundCloud, Spotify and iTunes. The music, from Stravinsky's Elegy for Solo Viola, is performed for us by Karolina Herrera. Sergei Nikitin writes on Facebook: Moscow University, Harvard Law School, and St. Petersburg University are stages in Grigory Vaypan's education in law. In addition to these institutions, Gregory spent three months at the Kennan Institute as a Galina Starovoitova Fellow. "The task of the American educational system at Harvard is to intellectually inspire a person to accomplish things in their profession,” says Grigory Vaipan. “The Russian system of higher education is designed in a different way." Grigory has also worked at the Institute for Law and Public Policy, where he was involved in developing nonprofit jurisprudence related to human rights cases in the constitutional court. In addition, a recent report written by Grigory Vaypan for the International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH), entitled ‘Russia: Crimes Against History,' has attracted the attention of the reading public. This document discusses ‘how the Russian state monopolizes history.' The author with justice states that ‘Russia is one of the countries that has passed the largest number of laws suppressing freedom of expression on historical issues.' These include a law against the ‘rehabilitation of Nazism.' laws banning the use of Nazi symbols and attributes, laws against extremism and terrorism, and more. The latest news from the Kremlin ideological front, with its newly-formed Historical Enlightenment Commission - with the help of state law enforcement agencies fighting off all attempts to ‘falsify' the facts - only confirms the importance and timeliness of Grigory Vaypan's report. Simon Cosgrove adds: A summary of some of the week's events in Russia relevant to human rights can be found on our website here.

Listen to Lamb McErlane PC attorney James Sargent & George Zumbano discuss the details of Mediation.·       Mediation is voluntary: mediation occurs by agreement of the parties to a dispute or lawsuit.·       Mediation is confidential and provides the parties with a private way to resolve disputes.·       Mediation also is without prejudice; no admissions; no testimony about proceedings.·       Mediation is a collaborative process as opposed to an adversarial process, such as litigation or arbitration.·       Mediation allows assistance of an acceptable, trusted, impartial third party who works to assist the disputing parties to reach a mutually acceptable settlement of their differences·       Mediation does not end with someone making the decision for you.·       It's not like arbitration––where the arbitrators (usually 1 or 3)––hear the dispute and then tell you how the dispute is resolved.·       It is not like going to trial where the Judge or jury tells you how the dispute is resolved.·       In mediation you and your adversary––the person with whom you have the dispute––have to come up with the solution that you both can accept.·       If no agreement at the end of mediation then you go back to court.James “Jim” C.

Professional sports is a multi-billion dollar business that pays players extremely well, but it wasn’t always that way. How did pro sports go from a quaint collection of athletes who needed side jobs in the off-season, to the lucrative industry for players it is today? Jim Quinn is the legendary sports lawyer who spearheaded free agency for every professional sports league, including the MLB, MLS, NFL, and NBA. Quinn’s new book, DON’T BE AFRAID TO WIN: How Free Agency Changed the Business of Pro Sports is a captivating look inside the tense meetings between owners, players, and league unions that explains free agency, and why it matters. With specific examples of how hard owners fought, Quinn shows the gritty steps it took to make deals that satisfied everyone. JAMES W. QUINN is one of the most accomplished trial, arbitration, and mediation lawyers in U.S. history. Mr. Quinn spent virtually his entire career at Weil, Gotshal, & Manges LLP, a premier international law firm based in NYC. At Weil, he served for more than two decades as both head of the firm’s 350-attorney Litigation Department and as a member of the Firm’s Management Committee. Mr. Quinn practiced in all areas of complex litigation and alternative dispute resolution, with particular emphasis on antitrust, securities, false advertising, sports entertainment, patent, and related complex intellectual property litigation. He also developed extensive experience serving as an arbitrator under, among others, ICC and AAA International rules. He is currently counsel to the national litigation boutique firm Berg and Androphy and a principal in JW Quinn ADR LLC, a mediation practice where he tries to settle, rather than start, disputes. Mr. Quinn received his B.A. from the University of Notre Dame and his L.L.B. from Fordham University School of Law, where he teaches a course about winning at trial. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/steve-richards/support

HBS 035 Interview w_ Robbie Kaplan -Then Comes Marriage_ United States v. Windsor and the Defeat of DOMA Roberta A. "Robbie" Kaplan is an American lawyer. She is the founding partner of Kaplan & Company, LLP, a law firm dedicated to commercial litigation and public interest matters, and an adjunct professor of law at Columbia University Law School. Until July 2017, she was a partner in the Litigation Department of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison. Kaplan successfully argued before the Supreme Court of the United States on behalf of her client, Edith Windsor, in United States v. Windsor (2013). This resulted in a landmark decision that invalidated a section of the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), thus requiring the federal government to recognize same-sex marriages. Windsor led to the 2015 Supreme Court ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges, which struck down all remaining state and federal laws against same-sex marriage across the United States. United States v. Windsor In 2009, Kaplan agreed to represent Edie Windsor pro bono. Windsor's wife, Thea Spyer, had died two years after they wed in Canada, leaving Windsor her sole heir. But because their marriage was not recognized under existing U. S. federal law, Windsor received an estate tax bill of $363,053. Windsor went to gay rights advocates seeking redress but could find no one to take her case. She was referred to Kaplan, who later recalled, "When I heard her story, it took me about five seconds, maybe less, to agree to represent her." Kaplan had been co-counsel on the unsuccessful bid for marriage equality in New York state in 2006. In a spirited exchange between Kaplan and Chief Justice John Roberts during oral arguments for the case, Roberts alleged that politicians were "falling all over themselves" to support her case. Kaplan responded, "The fact of the matter is, Mr. Chief Justice, is that no other group in recent history has been subjected to popular referenda to take away rights that have already been given or exclude those rights, the way gay people have." On June 26, 2013, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a 5-4 decision declaring Section 3 of DOMA to be unconstitutional. Edith Windsor declared, "Robbie Kaplan said, as Martin Luther King said before her, there is no wrong time to seek justice." Roberta (Robbie) Kaplan, the founding partner at Kaplan & Company, LLP, one of the few women-led elite boutique litigation law firms has been described as a “powerhouse corporate litigator” and “pressure junkie” who “thrives on looking at the big picture” whether “in the gay-marriage legal fight or high-profile corporate scandals.”  She has been selected as one of “The 100 Most Influential Lawyers” in the United States, as a “Litigator of the Year” by The American Lawyer, and as a “Lawyer of the Year” by Above the Law. In addition to representing large institutional and corporate clients like Fitch Ratings, Airbnb, Columbia University and T-Mobile,  Robbie book “Then Comes Marriage: United States v. Windsor and the Defeat of DOMA” (W.W. Norton 2015),  was chosen by the L.A. Times and Ms. Magazine as one of the top 10 books of 2015.  In commenting on the book, President Bill Clinton called Robbie an “American hero.” Robbie has received numerous recognitions for her legal accomplishments and charitable activities, including the New York Law Journal Lifetime Achievement Award;  Financial Times Legal Innovator of the Year; the Columbia Law School Medal of Excellence; as well as an honorary doctorate from the Jewish Theological Seminary.   Kaplan wrote about United States v. Windsor in the book Then Comes Marriage: United States v. Windsor and the Defeat of DOMA. Roberta A. "Robbie" Kaplan Kaplan & Company, LLP. @kaplanrobbie   HELP SPREAD THE WORD PLEASE!
