About We are thrilled to invite you to attend the ABA Section of Litigation Environmental, Mass Torts, and Products Liability Litigation Committees’ Joint CLE Seminar! This year’s event will be at the Westin Snowmass Resort in Snowmass Village, Colorado, from January 29–31, 2015. If your practice involves litigation in environmental, mass torts, or products liability matters, you know the importance of keeping informed of the latest developments in the law and how these matters are managed and resolved. This year’s Joint CLE Seminar will focus on how our practice has evolved over the years and where it is expected to go. This program is your opportunity to interact with and hear from experienced in-house attorneys, trial counsel, experts, and members of the judiciary as they address the evolution of long-standing issues as well as new concerns facing litigators in these practice areas. Please join us for this remarkable seminar, and while you’re at it, bring along the family to enjoy one of the finest resorts in the United States!

Why should you attend?

At this year’s Joint CLE Seminar of the Environmental, Mass Torts, and Products Liability Litigation Committees, you can join us to discuss essential issues for any litigator practicing in these three separate yet related areas of law. This CLE seminar brings well-respected in-house counsel, government employees, members of the judiciary, university professors and deans, experts, and both plaintiffs’ and defense counsel from across the United States. Set at the beautiful Westin Snowmass Resort, with plenty of time to enjoy outdoor activities, this Joint CLE is an entertaining and informative way to receive your CLE credit over a long weekend.

What will you learn?

The 2015 Joint CLE Seminar offers informative programs and experts from all walks of the legal community. Experienced in-house counsel will discuss: (1) what is required to prepare a company witness for a 30(b)(6) deposition in the current litigation environment; (2) challenges including responding to the 30(b)(6) notice, as well as adopting immediate strategies for addressing the notice internally; and (3) preparing the employee for “reptile-theory” questions. This program will explore ethical issues arising from interviewing and interacting with fact witnesses, new advice on jury selection, and recent developments in False Claims Act litigation. We also have a panel for young lawyers focusing on trying your first case. In short, these and our other breakout panels will interactively engage you as you receive tips on mass torts, products liability, and environmental litigation from start to finish.

Who shouldattend?

• All attorneys who practice in the areas of environmental, mass torts, and products liability litigation

• In-house counsel interested in discussing substantive and practical challenges in today’s ever-changing world

Ethics: “Can I Do That with This Witness?”: An Ethics Primer on Interacting with Wit-nesses at Deposition and Trial

7:00 am – 8:00 am

A lawyer's interaction with fact and expert witnesses is always fraught with ethical con-cerns.

Moderator: John M. Barkett Speakers: Heleina L. Formoso, Ann E. Prouty, Makenzie Windfelder

Chal-lenges include responding to the 30(b)(6) notice, including adopting immediate strategies for addressing the notice internally, ensuring compliance with discovery obligations, and preparing the employee for reptile theory questions or the potential for governmental in-vestigation. This will be an interactive and informative presentation with plenty of take-aways for the in-house or private practice lawyer.

Moderator: Melanie D. MargolinSpeakers: Debbie Carlos, Sarah Cronan, Liz Porter, Sam Shapiro

Plenary: Fracked Up: A Case Study on the Interaction of Layered Fracking Laws and Regulations in Different States

This plenary will present a case study in a locality in which an operator is faced with allega-tions of suspected contamination and faces tort and regulatory consequences. Our panel will discuss the various environmental, regulatory, and mass torts issues that may arise, and also discuss how the analysis would change if the accident occurred in another state and in another regulatory climate.

The False Claims Act is the Federal government’s greatest weapon against fraud on the US Treasury. Recoveries under the Act have exceeded $25 billion over the last ten years alone. Important amendments to the Act in 2009 and 2010 have significantly expanded its scope, and virtually every regulated business and institution is covered by some aspect of the Act. This panel of government, plaintiff and defense experts will discuss the fundamentals of the False Claims Act, explain its application beyond the usual defendants in healthcare and defense, review enforcement priorities, and discuss common theories of liability and defense of FCA cases against regulated entities.
