| The Evolving Role of Amicus Briefs in Appellate Litigation | Amicus briefs have become a significant part of appellate litigation and can help shape the outcome of a case. In the last decade, record numbers of briefs have been filed with the Supreme Court (700+ per term). This number is double the number of submissions in the 1990s, and 12 times the rate of what it was in the 1940s-50s. Amicus briefs are an effective way to influence the courts and can address arguments that fall outside the narrow scope of issues in a case. An effective amicus curiae brief can complement the brief of a litigant and can assist a court in deciding issues that have potential ramifications beyond the case at hand. During this panel, our speakers will discuss the role of amicus briefs and the undeniable impact of the strategies they developed around them in recent cases including Whole Women’s Health v. Hellerstedt, Masterpiece Cakeshop, Ltd. v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission, and U.S. et al., v.

| Sorting This Mess Out: Structured vs Unstructured Data | Speaking of messes, most experts agree that the average company’s data is 20% structured, and 80% galactic nightmare (unstructured email and documents.) This course is an ideal introduction to data analytics for commercial litigators and white collar/regulatory defense attorneys who are often faced with overwhelming amounts of client data. Understanding the combined insights gained from unstructured data review with that of structured data analytics gives a more complete understanding of events that have transpired, and therefore, gives attorneys the insight needed to make better informed, strategic decisions.

| Rainbow Relations 101: Building Better Bonds with LGBT+ Clients and Coworkers | This program is designed to assist lawyers at all levels of experience in building and strengthening effective, and trusting relationships with their LGBT+ clients and coworkers. This program will introduce terminology and definitions used to communicate one’s sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, etc, as well as provide lawyers with strategies that they can utilize in initial interviews and all interactions with LGBT clients, which will assist the lawyer in connecting with the client and making them feel at ease. Historically, LGBT issues are under discussed in the Latin community. In fact, there has not been an LGBT basics CLE at the HNBA in over 10 years. However, with shifting policies and mindsets, LGBT issues are at the forefront of social cognition. This program aims to educate Latin lawyers on the LGBT community so that they can build stronger bonds, have more effective communication, and zealously advocate on behalf of their LGBT clients. | Chezare Palacios | Litigation Attorney | The Ticktin Law Group, PLLC | 2 | 1.

The introduction will also describe how blockchain is used to support Bitcoin and introduce its importance and potential applications beyond Bitcoin. The CLE will go on to describe the emergence and potential uses of blockchain in highly regulated industries, existing laws and regulations relating to blockchain in the U.S. and abroad, and what those laws suggest about how blockchain will be regulated in the future. The presenters will explain how regulations and centralized control of a system using blockchain may diminish its accuracy and expose users to liability. In addition, the CLE will address potential liability and other legal issues, including disputes relating to governing laws and jurisdiction, that may arise from the use of blockchain and its implementation. The CLE will conclude by introducing attendees to the potential future uses of blockchain in law, including the possibility of “smart contracts,” and related benefits, costs, and risks. | Andres Rivero | Attorney | Rivero Mestre, LLP | 30 | N/A | N/A | Miami | FL | 305 4452500 | arivero@riveromestre.com | Jimmy Nguyen | CEO | nChain Group | 21 | N/A | N/A | London | England | +4 +44040 2072691430 | media@nChain.com | Robert Macaulay | Share Holder | Carlton Fields, P.A. | 20 | N/A | N/A | Miami | FL | 305 4601512 | racaulay@carltonfields.com | Maria Fernandez | Senior Counsel, Power Systems and OpenPOWER, Systems Group IBM | IBM | 26 | N/A | N/A | New York | New York | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

| Protecting Attorney Client Privilege: Investigations and Beyond | Today's challenging political and legal times have shined a new light on the attorney client privilege. One of the many challenges facing attorneys, individuals clients and companies is how to protect the privilege from being pierced as a collateral conduct to other legal proceedings. For companies conducting internal investigations there is often a tension between how to gather information in a timely and effective manner while encouraging employee candor and preserving as much privilege as possible. Recent court decisions both in the U.S. and abroad have shifted the privilege playing field, leaving many questioning how they can best protect their companies. The panel will focus on strategies for protecting privilege in the wake of these recent shifts particularly when balancing parallel criminal investigations and civil proceedings. | Jessica Ortiz | Partner | MoloLamken | 13 | None | Government Investigations and Compliance, Benchmark Women in Litigation Forum, New York, New York, Sept. 19, 2017Preparing for the Globalization of Corporate Internal Investigations, ABA Second Global White Collar Crime Institute, Sao Paulo, Brazil, June 8, 2017Navigating Internal Investigations and Avoiding Ethical Pitfalls, 2017 Corporate Counsel Conference, Hispanic National Bar Association, Miami, Florida, Mar. 31, 2017 | New York | NY | 212 607-8165 | jortiz@mololamken.com | Juan Arteaga | Partner | Crowell & Moring | 15 | Unknown | "From Congress to the Courtroom: Congressional Investigations and Their Impact on Parallel Proceedings," GICLI Annual Meeting, Dove Mountain, AZ (October 10, 2017).

| The Census, Redistricting and Latino Vote Dilution? | For the first time since 1950, the 2020 U.S. Decennial Census may be including a question on citizenship, posing a number of challenges to equal access to political power for the Latino community. In the past, this type of Census data was used for the shameful purpose of sending Japanese Americans to internment camps, and in the present, many Latino groups have denounced the sudden addition of the citizenship question because they fear it will dramatically decrease participation and result in an undercount of Latino citizens and immigrants alike. If the citizenship question remains in the 2020 Census (which is likely), there will be dramatic consequences for redistricting: as HNBA stated in our amicus brief in the Evenwel case decided by the Supreme Court case in 2016, the failure to count immigrants are not counted as residents in Congressional districts would be unconstitutional and it would severely decrease access to political power and resources for Latinos. That case was won, but the looming issue of the citizenship question on the 2020 Census brings the same issues forward again. Given the ongoing context of other voting rights issues impacting Latinos as well as the loss of the full power of the Voting Rights Act since the Supreme Court's 2013 decision in Shelby, this panel (moderated by the Chair of the HNBA Voting Rights Section, and will include nationally-known experts in relevant voting rights law) will discuss what the Latino community can expect in the next redistricting cycle and how HNBA lawyers can get involved in defending equal access to political power. | Katherine Culliton Gonzalez | Chair, HNBA Voting Rights Section | HNBA/US Commission on Civil Rights (in personal capacity) | 25 | JD, Washington College of Law (1993), ValedictorianD.C. and Supreme Court bars | Please see this short list: https://works.bepress.com/katherine_culliton/. | Silver Spring | MD | 202 531-8139 | kcullitongonzalez@gmail.com | Nina Perales | Vice President, Litigation | MALDEF | 25 | Please see Nina's bio here: http://www.maldef.org/about/offices/national_headquarters/index.html. | She has litigated numerous cases involving redistricting and Latino voting rights, and is a nationally-recognized expert on the topic.If Nina isn't available, moderator can recommend other MALDEF lawyers. | San Antonio | Texas | 210 224-5476 | nperales@maldef.org | Myrna Perez | Deputy Director | Brennan Center | 25 | Myrna has litigated, written and spoken about redistricting and Latino voting rights.

| Is Home Where Your Client Is? | With their ground-breaking decision in Daimler, the U.S. Supreme Court drastically curtailed courts’ longstanding ability to assert general jurisdiction over out of state and foreign entities. Jurisdiction could not be simply predicated on “doing business” in the forum. Instead, the business had to be “at home” in the state, an unarticulated higher standard that Plaintiffs have attempted to circumvent and courts have struggled to dependably define. Are foreign corporations immunized from litigation in the United States? How are forum and choice of law analyses affected, if at all? With new and conflicting court decisions arising at increasing rates, and the Supreme Court poised to express its opinion on this issue once again, this CLE will provide guidance that should assist litigators on both sides of the aisle as they navigate the changing jurisdictional landscapes. | David Oxamendi | Of Counsel | K&L Gates | 20 | None | None | New York | NY | 212 536-4011 | david.oxamendi@klgates.com | Martha Rodriguez Lopez | Of Counsel | K&L Gates | 16 | Certified Fraud Examiner | None | Seattle | WA | 206 370-7663 | martha.rodriguezlopez@klgates.com | Gennaro Savastano | Associate Attorney, Appellate Unit | Weitz & Luxenberg | 10 | None | None | New York | NY | 212 558-5500 | gsavastano@weitzlux.com | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

| Double The Trouble: Navigating The Risks And Pitfalls Of Parallel DOJ And Congressional Investigations | In-house and outside lawyers are increasingly being tasked with helping companies and their senior executives navigate the risks and challenges presented by parallel DOJ criminal investigations and congressional investigations.

The panelists will discuss the different rules and processes governing DOJ criminal investigations and congressional investigations, best practices for negotiating and interacting with DOJ and congressional investigators, key considerations when preparing written submissions, how to prepare senior executives for interviews and sworn testimony, the effective use of a company’s government affairs and public relations teams, and ethical issues that often arise during parallel DOJ and congressional investigations. | Juan Arteaga | Partner | Crowell & Moring, LLP | 15 | Former Deputy Assistant Attorney General at the U.S. Department of Justice.
