SUMMARY:Minorities in the Military
DESCRIPTION:Montgomery McCracken’s Diversity Committee and co-sponsor Richel D’Ambra Spa and Salon are hosting the first segment in a new series\, “Minorities in the Military.”  Dr. Eugene Richardson\, of the famed Tuskegee Airmen\, a 2nd Lieutenant and fighter pilot during World War II\, and Aaron Watkins\, a second-generation Tuskegee Airman\, who flew Chinook helicopters during the Vietnam War\, will be the the featured speakers.\n \n\nThe Tuskegee Airmen\, the legendary all African American squadron based in Tuskegee\, Alabama were the first black aviators of the U.S. Army Air Corps during World War II.  Despite the discrimination and racism they faced\, the Tuskegee Airmen served their country with pride and honor and went on to become the celebrated airmen that served as the inspiration for the movie “Red Tails.”  Richardson and Watkins will share personal experiences and discuss the challenges faced by African Americans seeking to serve in the military\, the many contributions from the country’s fight for independence to the present day and the evolution of perceptions and levels of acceptance of African Americans in the military throughout our country’s history. \n \n\n \n \n\nFind out more about the Tuskegee Airmen by visiting their monthly meetings\, which are open and welcome to the public.

SUMMARY:Litigating Class Actions
DESCRIPTION:Montgomery McCracken partner Charles B. Casper will present “National Class Action Trends – Federal Circuit Class Certification Rulings: Strategies and Arguments for winning or defeating class certifications” at the eighth annual comprehensive conference on Litigating Class Actions presented by Law Seminars International.\n \n\nWho Should Attend\nAttorneys\, business executives\, and consultants involved with class action litigation and government officials involved with parallel investigations\n \n\nWhy You Should Attend\n \n\n2011 and early 2012 have been a remarkable period for development of class action law with the Supreme Court’s decisions in Concepcion and CompuCredit applying great deference to arbitration clauses\, even where the result is to bar class action claims\, and lower courts are developing conflicting interpretations of the impact of these decisions. While these cases\, and the Supreme Court decision in Dukes\, have led some to predict a drastic decline in federal court class actions and a clear shift of such actions to state courts\, the volume of class action filings in both state and federal courts continues to be strong with ultimate outcomes uncertain. Bayer and Halliburton are two other Supreme Court opinions issued in the past year\, as is the 9th circuit’s recent Mazza decision\, further contributing to important legal developments in class action law\, and are viewed by some as signs that class actions are far from extinct.\n \n\nTopics Covered:\n \n\nClass action landscape changes after Dukes v. Wal-Mart \nRecent decisions effects on drafting and enforceability of arbitration agreements \nCalifornia Section 17200 update \nTrends in securities and financial industry class actions \nInternet privacy class actions \nPreparing to file class actions \nBest current strategies and arguments for winning or defeating class certifications \nPost-certification motion issues in class actions \nDealing with parallel government investigations \nDeveloping trial strategies and approaches \nA case study of Washington state consumer protection class action \nWhat defendant’s need to know about new media \nEthical issues \n\n\nMay 14\, 2012 at 8:00 AM – May 15\, 2012 at 5:00 PM \n\nhttp://lawseminars.com/detail.php?SeminarCode=12CLASSWA \nWashington State Convention CenterSeattle\, WA
