-
Can a state secede? It is unconstitutional? The answer is not as crystal clear as you may think. In this program, Peter Afrasiabi takes you on a fun, interesting journey asking these questions: What does the Constitution say about secession? What does it implicitly say?

- Implicit Bias in Intellectual Property Law
-
Implicit bias is assessed here by looking at our three major areas of IP law—copyright, patent and trademark—and discussing the required issues of implicit bias through the lens of a survey of our IP laws. In this program, intellectual property lawyer Peter Afrasiabi takes you on a fun, interesting journey asking these questions: Does copyright law and fair use as it collides with modern AI technologies require us to assess, where implicit bias in the stock of material that AI is learning on, whether fair use and copyright law need to take that into account in deciding the AI fair use questions being litigated? Do the large differentials in male to female inventor patent grant rates, and the differential in male to female patent examiners, create implicit bias in the patent system, especially where we have elastic patentability concepts on abstract ideas? Do our trademark laws’ central focus on the archetypal “consumer” create their own bias issues by not seeing the “consumer” as an actual person? These and other interesting implicit bias issues, with strategies to combat implicit bias, are addressed.

- Litigation Double Play: Winning on Appeal and How to Know if Your Litigator is Failing You
-
In this installment of our Double Play series, our two, thirty-minute programs cover winning on appeal and how to know if your litigator is failing you. Whether you’ve won or lost in the trial court, pivoting successfully from trial court to appellate litigator can make the difference between losing and winning your appeal. This program guides you through the strategic decisions you need to make and the practical steps you need to follow to brief, argue and win your next appeal. Just because very few cases end up going to trial doesn't mean you don't need to prepare for trial in every case. Successfully defending claims in litigation requires your company to tell a compelling story to the judge and jury, and trial lawyers are highly skilled at developing and telling those stories. This program provides valuable insights and advice for in-house counsel selecting outside litigators and managing litigation from commencement through to settlement or trial.

- Persecution by Prosecution: Lessons about Weaponized Legal Systems from the Cold War Harry Bridges Trials (Part 1)
-
Much legal talk these days is about the weaponization of the legal system to push political persecutions. This program looks at an actual case of a weaponized legal system, what the Supreme Court called a “crusade,” by exploring the Cold War trials of Harry Bridges. Experienced intellectual property lawyer Peter Afrasiabi, who authored the definitive book on the Harry Bridges trials from National Archive and FBI FOIA records, takes one of the four trials Bridges was subjected to, and looks at how the legal system was contorted to produce what was persecution by prosecution, identifying along the way some of the issues that led the Supreme Court to so conclude. It looks at the law relating to bills of attainder, the use of infirm hearsay evidence for substantive purposes instead of impeachment, the nature of how federal courts review trial court decisions, and agency deference. At the same time, there are some lessons learned from that case in terms of advocacy for lawyers litigating in the trenches of these cases so as to maintain balance and not overstep their bounds in making counter charges. It gives a roadmap to identify a true example of an as-found weaponized legal system. Part 1 will leave you wanting to see Part 2 and the subsequent trials that again returned Bridges to the Supreme Court.

- Social Media Triple Play: False Advertising Litigation, Companies Discovering Social Media and Copyright Takedowns, Shakedowns and the DMCA Safe Harbor
-
In this installment of our Triple Play series, our three, thirty-minute programs cover false advertising litigation, companies discovering social media and copyright takedowns, shakedowns and the DMCA safe harbor. These days, manufacturers of nearly every consumer product under the sun are catching false advertising claims. If you make a consumer-facing product, the odds are, litigation like this is not a matter of if but when, which means, false advertising litigation is just another business risk to be managed, mitigated, and optimized. This program takes a closer look at the landscape, and offers some practical advice and key considerations for how a business might implement some systems to manage this risk. Social media can be a powerful tool for companies to help build relationships with their customers and employees. However, with the benefits of this tool come corresponding risks. If your company distributes content on-line, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act can be your best friend -- and your worst enemy -- often at the same time. This program gives you the advice you need to prosecute or defend on-line copyright infringement claims.

We all love going to concerts, but have you ever pondered the copyright and contract issues that permeate your experience?

Social media is now ubiquitous as a series of platforms by which people communicate and transmit information. In this fun and interesting program, explore social media and how the law regulates the social media sites. This program explores the two major pillars of immunity form the 1990’s that facilitated social media growth, the immunity from state tort liability for defamation and state torts, and the copyright immunity for infringement on their sites. Surveying state and federal cases, experienced intellectual property lawyer Peter Afrasiabi takes you on a fun, interesting journey through the case law of myriad social media and ubiquitous platforms like Twitter, LiveJournal, Yelp, YouTube, Yahoo, and Facebook, looking at cases where immunity has protected them and a few instances where immunity has not saved them.

You may be shocked when you are done at just how much social media sites depend upon both user individual gifts of content and congressional grants of immunity to do what they do.

- Voice Control: Nancy Sinatra, Bette Midler and Rick Astley VS. Soundalikes-Where Copyright Meets Right of Publicity

Emerging artificial intelligence technology now allows human voices to be mimicked with incredible accuracy in addition to more traditional means of using soundalikes.

Veteran intellectual property lawyer Peter Afrasiabi traces the origins of the right of publicity and explains how this right applies when recordings of mimicked human voices are used for commercial exploitation.

Legal Ethics CLE Courses

- Civility: Do Lawyers Have a Duty to Negotiate in Good Faith?
-
In the latest program in this popular series, Zach McGee discusses the California Attorney Guidelines of Civility and Professionalism, which reflect how the California State Bar thinks that lawyers should practice law, in the context of answering the question: Do lawyers have a duty to negotiate in good faith? Using a fun hypothetical negotiation between lawyers, Zach illustrates the differences between the California State Bar’s aspirational guidance that lawyers negotiate in good faith and the black-letter law and legal ethics rules that require only that lawyers refrain from knowingly making false statements of material fact or law or otherwise engaging in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit or misrepresentation.

- From Trump's Race Charge to San Francisco's Most Bitter Court Disqualification Battle Ever: The Ethics of Federal Disqualification Motions
-
During the 2016 Presidential campaign, Republican Nominee Donald J. Trump accused U.S. District Judge Gonzalo P. Curiel of bias against him while presiding over a case involving allegations of fraud against the now-defunct Trump University. Of course, Mr. Trump is a litigant, and not a lawyer, and no lawyer who values his or her law license would levy such a charge against a judge, but what laws and ethics rules govern judges in deciding whether to recuse themselves from cases and govern lawyers when they accuse judges of bias?

- Good for the Goose, But Not the Gander: Judicial Ethics Hypocrisy in the Supreme Court and Federal Courts
-
Recent revelations about book royalties, travel and other monetary and in-kind benefits individual Justices have received has shined a bright light on the judicial ethics and disclosure rules that apply to the federal judiciary, but not to the Supreme Court. Ironically, while the Supreme Court generally has exempted itself from scrutiny, near identical situations to the ethics-recusal situations confronting Supreme Court justices result in ethics problems for lower court judges, sometimes even by order of the Supreme Court itself no less. And similarly some lawyers have faced legal ethics charges for having challenged federal judges for alleged violations of the law and the rules of judicial ethics. Peter Afrasiabi helps to navigate the shifting sands of the judicial ethics and disclosure regimes as they apply to the Supreme Court and the lower federal courts and offers some predictions about potential future reforms by the Court and Congress.

- "I'm Out of Order? You're Out of Order!": Civil Disobedience & Ethical Obligations In and Out of the Court
-
In times of social and political unrest, lawyers often join their fellow citizens in acts of civil disobedience to make their voices heard. But how do acts of civil disobedience by lawyers – committed both in and out of the court – square with their obligations under the ethics rules? This program provides guidance for lawyers who seek to counsel clients, participate in activities or litigate claims in support of controversial causes to ensure that they remain on the right side – and never the wrong side – of the ethics rules.

- Implicit Bias in Intellectual Property Law
-
Implicit bias is assessed here by looking at our three major areas of IP law—copyright, patent and trademark—and discussing the required issues of implicit bias through the lens of a survey of our IP laws. In this program, intellectual property lawyer Peter Afrasiabi takes you on a fun, interesting journey asking these questions: Does copyright law and fair use as it collides with modern AI technologies require us to assess, where implicit bias in the stock of material that AI is learning on, whether fair use and copyright law need to take that into account in deciding the AI fair use questions being litigated? Do the large differentials in male to female inventor patent grant rates, and the differential in male to female patent examiners, create implicit bias in the patent system, especially where we have elastic patentability concepts on abstract ideas? Do our trademark laws’ central focus on the archetypal “consumer” create their own bias issues by not seeing the “consumer” as an actual person? These and other interesting implicit bias issues, with strategies to combat implicit bias, are addressed.

Can you believe there have been judges who searched a party’s home and seized property, had sex in chambers with former interns and lawyers, jailed a woman for a year for unpaid parking tickets, went on vacation with the prosecutor after a guilty verdict and took bribes to render not guilty verdicts? In these cases, the truth is stranger than fiction, and Peter Afrasiabi reviews these unbelievable cases while discussing how these judges flagrantly violated the canons of judicial ethics that govern the conduct of federal and state court judges in the United States.

-
In this installment of our Double Play series, our two, thirty-minute programs cover key Issues for in-house lawyers and avoiding corporate conflicts of interest. Does this internal company document contain legal advice protected by the attorney-client privilege or merely business advice that is not protected?

As an in-house lawyer at a company with subsidiaries, how well do you know the legal ethics rules that apply to conflict of interests that can arise between entities within the corporate family? When can you safely share privileged information with officers, directors and employees of those subsidiaries and when might disclosure waive the attorney-client privilege? This program answers these important questions among others to help in-house counsel stay in compliance with the legal ethics rules.

- Legal Ethics: Ethically Bankrupt – The Judge David R. Jones Sex Scandal
-
In the latest installment in this popular series, Zach McGee discusses the judicial and legal ethics issues that arise out of the bombshell sex scandal that one commentator called “a body blow to the integrity” of the entire bankruptcy system. The facts of this case are so sensational – a bankruptcy judge who was living and sleeping with a lawyer who regularly appeared before him, while at the same time approving fee applications for the lawyer’s legal work in those cases – they would be hard to believe if they weren’t true.

- Legal Ethics: The ChatGPT Lawyers Sanctions Case
-
In the latest installment of this popular series, Zach McGee discusses the now infamous “ChatGPT lawyers sanctions” case where a New York federal district judge sanctioned two lawyers and their law firm under Rule 11 for submitting a brief that cited to six federal court decisions that did not in fact exist. In a case of seemingly first impression, ChatGPT had made up these cases out of whole cloth, and the lawyers failed to do any independent verification of those cases before filing their brief. This fascinating case is a cautionary tale for any lawyer who is tempted to use ChatGPT or other generative AI tools in their legal practice.

-
In the latest installment of this popular series, Zach McGee discusses Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) and how this technology – particularly Generative AI that can generate content in the form of text, images, video, audio, etc. in response to prompts from a user – is poised to change how knowledge workers, including lawyers, do our jobs. But before you consider using ChatGPT or other Generative AI tools to assist in your law practice, you need to make sure you understand exactly how these tools work, what they can do and what they can’t, how reliable they are or aren’t, and most importantly, what legal ethics issues can arise. This program gives you the knowledge you need to perform that exercise for yourself as Generative AI tools continue to evolve.

- Legal Ethics: What Does ABA Model Rule 2.1 Require of Lawyers?
-
Is there a legal ethics rule that no lawyer ever has been sanctioned for having violated? The answer to that question is “no,” but because ABA Model Rule 2.1 comes very close, it is routinely overlooked by state bar disciplinary authorities and practicing lawyers alike. In the latest installment in this popular series, Zach McGee provides lawyers with practical guidance on how to fulfill their ethical obligations under ABA Model Rule 2.1 to exercise independent professional judgment and to render candid advice. ABA Model Rule 2.1 also permits lawyers to refer not only to law but to other consideration such as moral, economic, social and political factors in rendering their advice, which can be useful when a client’s desired course of action is not in his or her best interests.

- Legal Ethics: When Does Remote Work Constitute the Unauthorized Practice of Law?
-
In most cases, lawyers working remotely do not commit the unauthorized practice of law in states where they are not members of the bar as long as you follow a few basic rules. But the situation gets much more complicated if you begin providing legal advice to clients in the remote working state. In the latest program in this popular series, Zach McGee gives you the guidance you need to continue working remotely without running the risk of engaging in the unauthorized practice of law and suffering the reputational, financial, legal and ethical consequences that would flow from such a determination.

- Negotiation Ethics for Lawyers (Introduction)
-
As lawyers, we negotiate on behalf of clients practically every day. You know the legal ethics rules require you to be truthful but how do you apply those general pronouncements in a context where puffing, posturing and concealing one’s bottom line are more the rule than the exception? This program uses a hypothetical negotiation between lawyers representing a writer seeking to sell a script and a film studio seeking to buy it to illustrate how the ethics rules apply when lawyers act as negotiators.

In this program, you’ll not only learn to spot when the other side in a negotiation is paltering but also to understand why paltering works so well and why people have such different views on whether it is ethical.

- The Biased Judge: Escaping Bad Judges & Avoiding Bad Lawyering

In this program, Peter Afrasiabi takes on a difficult topic: what standards govern bias by judges and if you believe your judge is biased against you or your client, what can and should you do about it? As you might expect, the answers to these questions involve thorny legal, tactical and ethical issues, and this program gives you the guidance you need should you come face-to-face with a judge whose fairness and impartiality reasonably might be questioned.

- Who judges our Judges?
-
In this ethics program, we explore the issue of judges judging judges. Experienced intellectual property litigator Peter Afrasiabi takes you on a fun, interesting journey through the fascinating history of federal judicial ethics rules and the cases that have led to judges judging judges in often light and inconsistent ways. You will explore the inconsistent use of ethics-based disqualification rules by Supreme Court justices judging themselves versus how they judge other judges in similar situations. And you will explore remarkable cases of judges handcuffing kids from the public gallery in court to judges going on family vacations with prosecutors right after a trial they all were in to even the case of three judges getting drunk and then in a public brawl with someone. And we look at who judges them, what punishments are meted out, and does the system of judges judging judges really comport with how the rest of us and our clients are judged and punished for similar behavior?

- Will You Be My Valentine? Dating and Romantic Relationships in the Legal Workplace
-
They say that love is blind, but it is also unethical? Recently, many states have enacted legal ethics rules that expressly prohibit dating a client, while in others, lawyers remain free to date a client unless the romantic relationship adversely affects the lawyer’s representation of the client. In this topical and engaging program, Andrew Struve examines the legal, ethical and practical implications when lawyers choose to date clients and other lawyers.

- Civility: Do Lawyers Have a Duty to Negotiate in Good Faith?
-
In the latest program in this popular series, Zach McGee discusses the California Attorney Guidelines of Civility and Professionalism, which reflect how the California State Bar thinks that lawyers should practice law, in the context of answering the question: Do lawyers have a duty to negotiate in good faith? Using a fun hypothetical negotiation between lawyers, Zach illustrates the differences between the California State Bar’s aspirational guidance that lawyers negotiate in good faith and the black-letter law and legal ethics rules that require only that lawyers refrain from knowingly making false statements of material fact or law or otherwise engaging in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit or misrepresentation.

- Competency Double Play: Depression and Substance Abuse
-
In this installment of our Double Play series, our two, thirty-minute programs cover depression and substance abuse. Experts differ on whether lawyers are more prone to depression than others who work in equally high-stress occupations such as doctors. But one thing is clear: the stigma associated with depression is one of the reasons lawyers may not get help when they need it. Is an ancient virus the reason humans are susceptible to substance use disorders? How has modern medicine changed the way we treat substance use disorders? This program answers these important questions so that today's lawyers have the tools they need to help themselves or a colleague.

- Implicit Bias in Intellectual Property Law
-
Implicit bias is assessed here by looking at our three major areas of IP law—copyright, patent and trademark—and discussing the required issues of implicit bias through the lens of a survey of our IP laws. In this program, intellectual property lawyer Peter Afrasiabi takes you on a fun, interesting journey asking these questions: Does copyright law and fair use as it collides with modern AI technologies require us to assess, where implicit bias in the stock of material that AI is learning on, whether fair use and copyright law need to take that into account in deciding the AI fair use questions being litigated? Do the large differentials in male to female inventor patent grant rates, and the differential in male to female patent examiners, create implicit bias in the patent system, especially where we have elastic patentability concepts on abstract ideas? Do our trademark laws’ central focus on the archetypal “consumer” create their own bias issues by not seeing the “consumer” as an actual person? These and other interesting implicit bias issues, with strategies to combat implicit bias, are addressed.

- Substance Abuse: Competency In Times of Crisis
-
Lawyers are much more likely than other professions to suffer from substance use and mental health disorders due to the high-stress nature of our work and a culture that encourages us to be self-reliant. Since the COVID-19 pandemic, increasing stress and isolation among lawyers has made this problem even worse, particularly for the newest members of the bar. Our experts discuss this alarming trend and what we can do to help ourselves and our colleagues during these difficult times.

- Substance Abuse: How the Pandemic Has Made Preventing Addiction Harder
-
Studies show that lawyers experience substance use disorder at twice the rate of the general population. Teaching lawyers how to recognize when they may have a problem and getting them help when they do is difficult even in “normal times.” But the COVID-19 pandemic not only made the traditional obstacles even more challenging, but set up some new roadblocks in our path. This presentation examines why preventing addiction has become harder during the pandemic and shares some expert advice on what you can do to ensure that you or someone you know gets the help they need.

- The Biased Judge: Escaping Bad Judges & Avoiding Bad Lawyering

In this program, Peter Afrasiabi takes on a difficult topic: what standards govern bias by judges and if you believe your judge is biased against you or your client, what can and should you do about it? As you might expect, the answers to these questions involve thorny legal, tactical and ethical issues, and this program gives you the guidance you need should you come face-to-face with a judge whose fairness and impartiality reasonably might be questioned.

Drawing upon his personal experience as a former law firm lawyer in addition to guidance from psychologists and other experts in the field, Zach McGee discusses professional burnout among lawyers: what it is, how it impacts attorneys in and out of the office, how to spot it and how to address it.
