Is the Fourth Amendment doing any work anymore? In a forthcoming article entitled “Government Purchases of Private Data,” Matthew Tokson, a professor at the University of Utah S.J. Quinney College of Law, details how, in recent years, federal and state agencies have begun to purchase location information and other consumer data, as government attorneys have mostly concluded that purchasing data is a valid way to bypass Fourth Amendment restrictions. Lawfare Senior Editor Stephanie Pell sat down with Matthew to discuss this article, where he attempts to bring this constitutional evasion to light. They talked about the two main arguments offered for why the purchase of private data does not violate the Fourth Amendment, his responses to these arguments, and the recommendations he makes to courts, legislators, and government agencies to address the Fourth Amendment and privacy concerns surrounding government purchases of private data.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare.

In recent years federal executive branch agencies have enacted a “whole of government” approach to hot-button topics like environmental, social, governance (ESG) and cryptocurrency regulation. This theory of policy administration combines the efforts of multiple executive branch agencies with different expertise and authorities toward achieving a singular objective.Some of the agencies marshaled to address cryptocurrency regulation include the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), the Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), and the banking regulators. Jurisdiction is often complicated by the nature of a particular asset, administration changes, and agency leaders’ personalities and priorities.How does current cryptocurrency regulatory policy align with the statutory authority and original purpose of these agencies? Are the agencies fulfilling legislative mandates to protect investors and promote safety and soundness? Or are they stretching their authority to achieve a policy outcome in the absence of legislative authorization?This panel will examine the issue of cryptocurrency regulation and statutory authority of executive agencies.Featuring:Mr. Brian P.

Do Consumers Still Reign Supreme in the Antitrust Hierarchy? How Antitrust Can Promote the Interests of Workers and Other Stakeholders in the Economy

College of Law to host FTC Commissioner and Assistant Attorney General for Antitrust for discussion on consumer welfare This event will take place on Monday, April 10 between 12:00-2:30 pm and is titled Do Consumers Still Reign Supreme in the Antitrust Hierarchy? How Antitrust Can Promote the Interests of Workers and Other Stakeholders in the Economy. The keynote speakers are FTC Commissioner Alvaro Bedoya and Assistant Attorney General for Antitrust Jonathan Kanter. Since the embrace of antitrust's consumer welfare standard in the 1980s, the welfare of workers has been neglected, and the focus of antitrust policy has been solely the welfare of consumers. As a result, antitrust policy has tolerated wage-fixing conspiracies that should be per se illegal based on weak procompetitive assertions. Promised layoffs following mergers have often been considered “efficiencies.” Moreover, up until recently, antitrust agencies have not addressed employment non-compete agreements. These agreements have proliferated, and challenges to non-competes have had unpredictable outcomes under conflicting state laws. But things are starting to change. In 2022, the Department of Justice (DOJ) blocked a merger in the book publishing industry based entirely around a theory of writer (worker) harm. The DOJ also pursued and secured criminal charges against a manager of a company for entering a no-poach agreement with a rival to not raise the wages of nurses working in the Clark County School District and to not hire nurses from each other. Not to be left out, in January 2023, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) proposed a rule that would ban all post-employment non-compete agreements. The University of Utah has been at the vanguard of this burgeoning movement to reinvigorate antitrust enforcement. In 2019, the University of Utah Department of Economics, led by Professors Mark Glick and Marshall Steinbaum, organized a conference entitled “A New Future for Antitrust.” The conference developed a set of principles for the reform and refocusing of antitrust law in the era of “big tech” entitled “The Utah Statement.” Building from that foundation, in October 2022, the University of Utah S.J. Quinney College of Law, working in conjunction with the University of Utah Department of Economics and the Antitrust Section of the Utah Bar, held a symposium titled “The New Roaring Twenties: The Progressive Agenda for Antitrust and Consumer Protection Law.” FTC Chair Lina Khan was the keynote speaker. A new interdisciplinary center was hatched, called the Utah Project, dedicated to the study of antitrust and consumer protection law in the College of Social and Behavioral Science. And to inaugurate its annual Spring Forum, the Utah Project welcomes two antitrust leaders to deliver keynotes: FTC Commissioner Alvaro Bedoya and Assistant Attorney General for Antitrust Jonathan Kanter. Both speakers will address important topics at the intersection of labor and antitrust. A panel of economic and legal experts will follow, and will be joined by the two keynotes. For more details or the register for the event please visit the event webpage. This event is free and open to the public. This event is co-sponsored by the Utah Project, the University of Utah S.J. Quinney College of Law, the University of Utah Department of Economics, and the Antitrust Section of the Utah Bar.

$38 Million Negligent Security Verdict and More with Ben Cloward

Join Rahul and Ben for their discussion with Las Vegas trial lawyer, Ben Cloward (https://www.thefiercefirm.com/). Attorney Cloward shares how his Mormon faith and commitment to service created the foundation for his career as a plaintiff trial lawyer. Ben describes in detail how he used aggressive discovery and big data to develop and try a negligent security case on behalf of the family of a man murdered at a local housing development. Ben talks about how he was able to identify the most compelling facts, come up with the ideal sequencing of the evidence, and rebut factual and legal defense to achieve this extraordinary result. About Ben ClowardIn 2016, at the age of 37, Benjamin P. Cloward became the youngest lawyer in the history of the State of Nevada to be awarded the prestigious “Trial Lawyer of the Year” by the Nevada Justice Association. That same year, he became the youngest member of the Nevada, Las Vegas Chapter of ABOTA (American Board of Trial Advocates), and at the time was also the youngest person in the State of Nevada to be Board Certified as a Personal Injury Specialist. He has received many additional recognitions, including being AV-Rated by Martindale-Hubbell and receiving a perfect 10.0 by Avvo.com. He has been featured in several magazines in Nevada for his accomplishments and hard work. Just recently, in February 2020, Ben obtained a $38 million jury verdict, which is believed to be the largest ever negligent security for wrongful death in the State of Nevada. Other verdicts Ben has obtained include a $15 million jury verdict in 2016 on behalf of a family whose disabled son, Harvey, was allowed to choke to death on a paratransit bus. That verdict was upheld in a unanimous decision after four years of contentious appellate litigation with the final judgment ballooning to over $20.5 million dollars. The defense in that case never formally offered a single penny. After obtaining the verdict, Ben continued working on the safety issue that led to Harvey's death, and with the help of many other people, got “Harvey's Law” passed in Nevada in 2017, which required certain training for all paratransit bus drivers to ensure others were protected. In 2016, Ben also obtained a $12.9 million jury verdict for a family whose life had been altered by a drunk driver who injured the mother and killed the daughter. He also obtained a $10 million settlement for a client who was significantly injured from a fall which resulted in a moderate brain injury. Ben has obtained multiple soft-tissue, low visible property damage jury verdicts including a $2.98 million jury verdict in 2018, a $1,075,000 verdict in 2014, and several 6 figure verdicts. In addition to obtaining significant jury verdicts, Ben has also been involved in settling over thirty cases for values ranging from $1 million to $10 million as noted above. Ben successfully argued the Khoury v. Seastrand, 133 Nev. Adv. Op. 52 (July 28, 2016) case which was a huge victory for all injured Nevadans because it rejected the Howell doctrine, which allows negligent people who caused harm to get a discount when they hit responsible citizens who carried personal health insurance. Ben is a graduate of the famed Gerry Spence Trial Lawyer's College and believes as does Gerry that “It all begins with you . . .” Ben served on the board for a nonprofit company called the Loa Fund, which focuses on providing financial assistance to those who struggle with addiction to receive help through wilderness therapy and other addiction recovery programs. Ben believes that you can never truly understand another human until you have walked a mile in their shoes and that everyone should be given the benefit of the doubt and a chance to prove themselves. Ben was raised in Salem, Utah. As a young boy, Ben earned his Eagle Scout Award and after graduation from high school, he served a two-year mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Louisiana. Ben attended the University of Utah and graduated in 2005 with a bachelor's degree in finance. He began law school at the University of Tulsa, College of Law. After his first year, Ben transferred to the University of Utah, S.J. Quinney College of Law, where he graduated in 2008. While in law school, Ben received the Outstanding Achievement Award for Teaching Law in the High School, the CALI Excellence for the Future Award for Property, and was on the Dean's List. He also served as the President of the J. Reuben Clark Law Society and as a Judicial Intern for the then-State Court Presiding Judge, Gregory K. Frizzell, who is now a Judge for the United States District Court for the Northern District of Oklahoma. He also participated as a Note and Comment Editor for the Journal of Land, Resources, and Environment Law, where his Comment, Why has State v. Hutchinson Been Ignored? An Analysis of Why Utah Cities Lack Authority to Exact Water, 28 J. LAND RESOURCES & ENVTL. L. 433, was selected for publication. Ben's interests outside of work include spending time with his wife and two beautiful daughters. He also enjoys mule deer archery hunting, bass-fishing, camping, and watching the Boston Red Sox. He is active in his church and currently serves as a Stake High Councilor. He believes our highest calling in life is to help others come unto Christ.

The post-Dobbs landscape: states' abortion shield laws Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization held that abortion was not a constitutionally protected right under the Due Process Clause, and, in the absence of federal constitutional protection, state laws now govern access to abortion from the earliest stages of pregnancy. Whereas some states have passed laws severely restricting or banning abortion, other states have passed “shield laws”—laws which protect abortion providers from civil and criminal liabilities stemming from abortion care provided to out-of-state residents. Proponents of abortion shield laws argue that such laws are necessary to assure in-state abortion providers that they will not be penalized by another state for providing care to residents from those states. Shield laws, they argue, are a constitutionally permitted way to provide safety from prosecution under the laws of another state. Opponents of shield laws may counter that such laws undermine U.S. notions of comity and federalism as well as test constitutional principles underpinning states' sovereignty over its own citizens. The University of Utah S.J. Quinney College of Law will host a debate to consider the consequences of states' abortion shield laws to federalism and the U.S. constitution.

TALK DESCRIPTION: In June 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization held that the U.S. Constitution does not provide a right to an abortion, which overturned both Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey. While the full impact of this decision is still being felt, the immediate impact is that state legislatures are now taking the lead in determining when someone may seek an abortion. This has led to confusion in terms of what health care providers may and may not do in terms of treating people who are pregnant. Members of the panel will begin by explaining the Dobbs decision and its impact on the law, and review the current state of Utah law. The panel will then explore challenges that this change in the law raises for medical professionals as they balance providing evidence-based care, honoring women's health care choices, and basing health care decisions on sound clinical judgment with adherence to the law; and wrestle with navigating interstate travel for abortion, determining at what point a pregnant woman's life is in jeopardy, and assessing whether a fetal defect is fatal.

But Hallie is here to change this. She's known for her amazing work as a cartoonist and visualizing legal information in general. She explains the “threats and opportunities” of using comics, or images and visualization in legal communication. Hallie gives examples on projects she has been working on at the Graphic Advocacy Project and tells us about finding the Creative Advocacy Lab at the University of The University of Utah S.J.

Climate change is a global environmental problem, and within the United States, the adverse impacts of our changing climate are falling disproportionately on minority and low-income communities. Native Americans and tribal communities are being impacted in unique ways because of their long and deep ties to landscapes that are subject to rapid environmental changes. The hosts highlight the federal government's legal obligations to protect Native Americans and the lands they occupy as well as the disproportionate impacts climate change is having on tribal communities. Based on a review of over 100 articles and other publications on the nexus between science and law, they identify recommendations on how to better synchronize science and policy to address climate change, including the recognition and utilization of indigenous science.

Join Dean Elizabeth Kronk Warner for this book review and discussion with Dean Martell Teasley, College of Social Work. The book they will be reviewing is, Nice Racism: How progressive white people perpetuate racial harm by Dr. Robin DiAngelo for Martin Luther King Jr. Day. This New York Times bestseller explores how a culture of niceness inadvertently promotes racism. In DiAngelo's book, White Fragility, she explained how racism is a system into which all white people are socialized and challenged the belief that racism is a simple matter of good people versus bad. DiAngelo also made a provocative claim: white progressives cause the most daily harm to people of color. In Nice Racism, her follow-up work, she explains how they do so. Drawing on her background as a sociologist and over 25 years working as an anti-racist educator, she picks up where White Fragility left off and moves the conversation forward. Writing directly to white people as a white person, DiAngelo identifies many common white racial patterns and breaks down how well-intentioned white people unknowingly perpetuate racial harm. These patterns include: rushing to prove that we are “not racist” downplaying white advantage romanticizing Black, Indigenous, and other peoples of color (BIPOC) pretending white segregation “just happens” expecting BIPOC people to teach us about racism carefulness and feeling immobilized by shame DiAngelo explains how spiritual white progressives seeking community by co-opting Indigenous and other groups' rituals create separation, not connection. She challenges the ideology of individualism and explains why it is OK to generalize about white people, and she demonstrates how white people who experience other oppressions still benefit from systemic racism. Writing candidly about her own missteps and struggles, she models a path forward, encouraging white readers to continually face their complicity and embrace courage, lifelong commitment, and accountability. Nice Racism is an essential work for any white person who recognizes the existence of systemic racism and white supremacy and wants to take steps to align their values with their actual practice. BIPOC readers may also find the “insiders” perspective useful for navigating whiteness. A digital copy of this book is available at the library for University of Utah students, faculty and staff.

She faced many of the challenges homeless youth still face today including dropping out of school, drugs, inappropriate sexual advances, hunger, cold, and physical violence. Never Let Me Go is the story of how she went from vagrant to attorney. Nicole became addicted to hallucinogenic drugs and found herself tangled in gothic cult on the streets of Salt Lake City, Utah. She escaped physical and sexual violence when she fled Salt Lake with another runaway teen ending up on the streets of San Franscico. Nicole's belief in her fantasy world, propagated by the gothic cult, was upended as she hitchhiked with her new companions selling and using drugs and trying to survive. At age sixteen, Nicole found herself back in Salt Lake and pregnant without much of a future for herself or her unborn child. When she first held her son, it changed her life and with his love she reclaimed her determination and will to survive. With only three credits toward her high school diploma, she returned to school and began to dream about the future they could have together. As a single parent, Nicole graduated high school and entered college ultimately receiving her law degree from the S.J. Quinney College of Law at the University of Utah in 2008. Throughout her story, Nicole interlaces her experience as an assistant attorney general in the child protection division representing the Division of Child and Family Services in child welfare cases.

The 2021 National Lawyers Convention took place November 11-13, 2021 at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, DC. The topic of the conference was "Public and Private Power: Preserving Freedom or Preventing Harm?". This panel discussed "Cancel Culture Comes to Financial Services."Under the Obama Administration’s Operation Choke Point initiative bank regulators sought to de-bank various legal industries such as payday lenders, firearms dealers, and home-based charities. Today, banks have increasingly acted on their own initiative to effectively operate a new voluntary form of Operation Choke Point. In January 2021, Florida’s Bank United closed Donald Trump’s personal bank account. Other banks have cut off others seemingly because of political views and have been pressured by activists to cut off funding to politically-disfavored industries, religious organizations, and others, effectively a new voluntary form of Operation Choke Point.Is this voluntary activity the free exercise of business judgment, or is it inappropriate response to external pressure? What kind of unintended consequences might occur where banks use their business to punish based on viewpoint? Could this behavior make banks into utilities subject to more financial regulation or even government actors carrying out government directives? What are the appropriate responses to "cancel culture" or "choke point" tactics in banking? What steps are appropriate either through governmental or private actions?Featuring:Prof. Christopher Peterson, John J. Flynn Endowed Professor of Law, University of Utah S.J.

A Book Celebration & Conversation With Author Erika George Professor of Law Erika George's book considers market-based strategies to bring business practices into alignment with the responsibility to respect human rights. It also explores how corporate social responsibility initiatives could close a global governance gap that currently places human rights at risk—and that puts commercial actors in the position of becoming complicit in human rights abuses. George examines corporate codes of conduct, sustainability reporting, shareholder activism, and multi-stakeholder initiatives that could become the building blocks of a set of baseline standards for better business practices.

A discussion with Jorge Contreras, author of “The Genome Defense” and professor of law at the S. J. Quinney College of Law. Contreras will be joined by panelist Lynn Jorde, professor of human genetics at the University of Utah School of Medicine, and moderator Erika George, professor of law at the S. J. Quinney College of Law. TALK DESCRIPTION: In 2005, two MIT researchers observed that 20% of the human genome was claimed by patents. In the same year, Chris Hansen, an ACLU attorney, and Tania Simoncelli, the ACLU's first science advisor, began to plan a lawsuit that would attack gene patenting in America. Their target was Myriad Genetics, a University of Utah spinout company that controlled the patents on the BRCA1/2 genes. Individuals with certain variants of these genes have a high risk of contracting breast or ovarian cancer, but Myriad's test for these variants was unaffordable to many. The ACLU's lawsuit, which ended in a unanimous 2013 Supreme Court victory, fundamentally changed the biotechnology industry. In “The Genome Defense”, Professor Jorge Contreras describes the circuitous path of this remarkable lawsuit, from genetics labs to corporate boardrooms to the highest reaches of the White House. It offers valuable lessons in how the law wrestles with scientific advancements and how, with determination and luck, even the most entrenched legal regimes can be changed.

On July 19, 2021, the Federalist Society's Financial Services and E-Commerce Practice Group sponsored an online conference titled "The CFPB Turns 10: Evaluating America’s Youngest Federal Financial Regulator." The conference concluded with a panel titled "What Does the CFPB's Future Hold?".The U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Seila Law last year struck down statutory conditions on the removal of the CFPB Director from office as a violation of the Constitution’s separation of powers. The Biden Administration used this decision to abruptly change the leadership of the CFPB six months ago. This panel will discuss the priorities and actions of the CFPB under this new leadership, and the expected priorities of the agency under its next confirmed Director. The panel will also discuss what should be the future direction of federal consumer financial law and CFPB policy going forward. Specifically, how should the CFPB or consumer law and policy be reformed to improve consumer welfare and the efficient functioning of consumer finance markets? The panelists include a leading national consumer financial services lawyer and two law professors, both of whom also worked for the CFPB.Featuring: Todd Zywicki, Foundation Professor of Law, Antonin Scalia Law School, George Mason University; Center for Monetary and Financial Alternatives, Cato InstituteChris Peterson, John J.

Please join Dean Elizabeth Kronk Warner for her monthly dean's book review. The book to be reviewed will be, Surpassing Certainty: What My Twenties Taught Me by Janet Mock, the book was selected in celebration of June being Pride Month. The book is riveting, rousing, and utterly real, Surpassing Certainty is a portrait of a young woman searching for her purpose and place in the world–without a road map to guide her. It is an honest appraisal of what it means to be your true self. The journey begins a few months before her twentieth birthday. tenisha Mock is adjusting to her days as a first-generation college student at the University of Hawaii and her nights as a dancer at a strip club. Finally content in her body, she vacillates between flaunting and concealing herself as she navigates dating and disclosure, sex and intimacy, and most important, letting herself be truly seen. Under the neon lights of Club Nu, Janet meets Troy, a yeoman stationed at Pearl Harbor naval base, who becomes her first. The pleasures and perils of their union serve as a backdrop for Janet's progression through her early twenties with all the universal growing pains–falling in and out of love, living away from home, and figuring out what she wants to do with her life. Despite her disadvantages, fueled by her dreams and inimitable drive, tenisha makes her way through New York City while holding her truth close. She builds a career in the highly competitive world of magazine publishing–within the unique context of being trans, a woman, and a person of color. Long before she became one of the world's most respected media figures and lauded leaders for equality and justice, Janet was a girl taking the time she needed to just be–to learn how to advocate for herself before becoming an advocate for others. As you witness tenisha slow-won success and painful failures, Surpassing Certainty will embolden you, shift the way you see others, and affirm your journey in search of self. Panelists: Engels J. Tejeda, ('06), Partner, Holland & Hart LLP Clare Lemke, PhD, Director, LGBT Resource Center, University of Utah Beth Jennings, The University of Utah S.J. Quinney College of Law, Assistant Librarian

In Ford Motor Co. v. Montana Eight Judicial District Court, 141 S. Ct. 1017 (2021), the U.S. Supreme Court clarified the circumstances in which a state court can assert personal jurisdiction over an out-of-state corporation whose products cause harm in the forum state. In a divided set of opinions, the Court held that, to support specific jurisdiction, the defendant's contacts with the forum state need not cause the alleged harm using a “but for” test, so long as the cause of action arose out of the defendant's contacts in some way. Ford aggressively marketed and supported its cars in the forum states, even though the vehicles involved in the accidents were sold elsewhere and then re-sold to buyers in those states. This webinar will explain the holding and how it affects the law of personal jurisdiction. It will also discuss implications for future interstate litigation, and the potential implications of the concurring opinions for the future of the law of personal jurisdiction given the new composition of SCOTUS.

Justice Thomas, the First Amendment & Media Freedoms – A CLE Webinar

Justice Clarence Thomas, the longest-serving Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, has in recent years expressed idiosyncratic views on some key First Amendment issues. He has gained particular attention for staking out bold new positions on the free-speech treatment of both the press and social media. Justice Thomas urged, in one instance, that the Court reconsider the watershed media-law case of New York Times v. Sullivan, which interprets the First Amendment to make it difficult for public officials to bring libel suits and suggested, in another, that the Court should adjust its constitutional free-speech approach to take into account potential censorship within the highly concentrated, privately owned information infrastructure of digital platforms. In this webinar, media law experts RonNell Andersen Jones and Jeffrey Hunt explore the contours of Justice Thomas's views, considering their origins, their place within the Justice's wider jurisprudence, and their likelihood of gaining traction with the fuller Court.
