SUMMARY:2nd Annual eDiscovery for the Life Sciences Industry
DESCRIPTION:Pharma\, biotech\, medical device and diagnostic companies have unique regulatory requirements that impact how they conduct internal investigations caused by regulatory inquires\, litigation\, antitrust and whistleblowers. The industry uses a variety of resources to conduct the investigation\, including internal response teams and outside counsel. With the scope of these investigations often ranging beyond simply reviewing email & created user accounts\, extending to enterprise applications for financial and human resource information\, file-sharers\, document management systems\, collaboration tools and structured databases for sales\, marketing\, research and development and clinical trials\, the manner in which these internal investigations are conducted and the tools used requires a tremendous amount of technology and resources where eDiscovery becomes a central tool and asset. With many organizations facing numerous lawsuits based on patent infringement\, intellectual property protection or any of the myriad number of regulations they are held accountable for\, the use of eDiscovery techniques has become more popular than ever.\n \n\nThroughout the two-day program\, attendees will hear case studies\, panel discussion and informative and solutions-based presentations from in-house counsel\, IT executives\, outside counsel\, judges and vendors. The conference will cover a range of topics that will highlight the common challenges that legal and IT professionals face throughout the eDiscovery process. Among the main concerns are finding strategies to reduce the volume of data involved in preservation\, collection and review and proactively implementing cost-cutting measures. Attendees will also have the opportunity to hear directly from judges across different court circuits about their opinions on eDiscovery solutions that have worked in their courts regarding cost-cutting measures and creating a more efficient eDiscovery process. As with all Q1 conferences\, attendees will also have adequate time for networking and knowledge-sharing.\n \n\nMontgomery McCracken partners Michael B. Hayes and Stephen A. Grossman are part of the panel discussion titled “Promoting Proportionality in High Stakes Litigation and Government Investigations” on the second day of the program.\n \n\nClick here for more information.\n \n\nFebruary 27\, 2012 at 7:30 AM – February 28\, 2012 at 4:00 PM \n\nLoews Hotel Philadelphia\, PA

SUMMARY:ALI-ABA Presents: Representing Non-Profits for Non-Specialists
DESCRIPTION:In structuring nonprofits\, the question often arises: “whose organization is it?” This 2-hour program\, recorded on May 9\, 2011\, seeks to answer this question and more\, particularly for non-specialists. Three practitioners who have worked extensively with nonprofits of all sizes and types discuss the critical issues and potential pitfalls in representing such organizations. They explain the confusing terminology in the field and how to distinguish the various types of nonprofits in order to understand which of the differing state and federal rules apply. \n  \nCo-chaired by Donald Kramer and Karl Emerson of Montgomery McCracken (Philadelphia\, PA)\, this pre-recorded video course covers: \n\nDrafting articles of incorporation and bylaws\, board and volunteer liability\, and the need for insurance.\nRequirements for tax exempt status and filing tax information returns.\nEnforcement of the rules by governmental officials and the media.\nThe “quid pro quo” and substantiation rules in the area of charitable contributions.\nCharitable solicitation registration requirements.\nHandling endowments and fundamental changes (mergers\, acquisitions and dissolutions).\n\nJoining Donald Kramer and Karl Emerson is Virginia Sikes of Montgomery McCracken. Although the panelists work primarily with Pennsylvania state law in their daily practice\, general rules of other states are also referenced\, particularly where they may differ from Pennsylvania law. \n\nJune 23\, 2011 at 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM \n\nVideo Webcast of a Pre-recorded Video with Email Q&A.\nQuestions will be answered within 48 hours.

SUMMARY:CCSNJ Workshop Series: Federal Immigration Laws. They Affect EVERY Employer in NJ

SUMMARY:The Fall Forum for Colleges and Universities – Hot Topics
DESCRIPTION:Montgomery McCracken presents “The Fall Forum for Colleges and Universities – Hot Topics” on October 30\, 2009 from 8:00 am-12:30 pm in our Philadelphia office.  \n \n\n8:00 am\nBreakfast & Registration\n \n\n8:30 am\nWelcome\nJoyce B. Link\, Chair\, Higher Education Law Group\, Montgomery McCracken\n \n\n8:35 am\nStudy Abroad – The Benefits and The Challenges\nPresented by Arlene Snyder\, Arcadia University\, Director of Health\, Safety and Securit\n \n\nHealth and safety in study abroad is of paramount importance to the College of Global Studies at Arcadia University.  Serving approximately 3000 students in 14 different countries each year\, the Study Abroad program offers a wide variety of opportunity and challenges. The Director of Health\, Safety and Security in the College of Global Studies will discuss how perceptions of health\, safety and risk have changed during her twenty-year tenure at Arcadia\, and the current practices to help students\, their families and their institutions plan for healthy and safe experiences abroad.\n \n\n9:25 am \nClery Act \nPresented by Scott A. Coffina\, Montgomery McCracken\n \n\nTimely warnings about security threats are among the most important elements of campus security.  Every institution must have a reliable procedure in place to warn its students\, faculty and employees about threats to their safety\, from relatively routine street crime to the unthinkable killing spree by a deranged student.  Aside from its obvious value to campus safety\, the Clery Act requires it\, the Department of Education enforces it\, and institutions don’t get a second chance to get it right. Through the lens of actual enforcement actions by the Department of Education\, this discussion will focus on the Clery Act’s timely warnings requirement and the process for the consideration of timely warnings that each institution must have to comply with the law and avoid the nightmare that a breakdown in the communication of security threats can bring to a campus community.\n \n\n10:10 am \nBreak\n \n\n10:25 am\nMegan’s Law on Campus: Practical Approaches to Compliance\, Security & Admissions\nPresented by Joanne Semeister & Karen Ibach\, Montgomery McCracken\n \n\nThe presence of a registered sex offender on campus raises the specter of security-related issues in all areas of academic life. The presenters will review the federal and state statutes requiring the registration of sex offenders (Megan’s Laws)\, the application of those statutes\, their intersection with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)\, and what’s required for compliance in the college and university context.  They will also explore the numerous and varied policy questions raised by the admission and/or employment of sex offenders who are required to register with law enforcement pursuant to state Megan’s Laws. \n \n\n11:10 am\nResearch Misconduct \nPresented by Doreen D. Kornrumpf\, Thomas Jefferson University\, Associate Counsel and Interim Compliance Officer\n \n\nResearch and scientific misconduct is reported frequently in the general news and industry periodicals.  Yet there remains confusion about what the rules require and how to successfully manage a comprehensive compliance program.  The Associate Counsel to Thomas Jefferson University will discuss requirements for institutional policies and procedures under the PHS Policies on Research Misconduct.  She will examine misconduct cases\, noting how institutions have responded to allegations of misconduct\, how they have conducted investigations\, prepared investigative reports\, adjudicated findings and fulfilled reporting requirements. Confidentiality will also be explored.\n \n\n12:30 pm\nAdjournment\n \nIf you would like to attend\, please contact Stephanie Redding no later than October 16\, 2009.
