Since the Enron and Arthur Andersen debacles, prosecutors have shifted toward deferring prosecution of companies and enhancing their scrutiny of officers, directors and professionals. Companies have become more willing to lay blame at the feet of in-house counsel and plaintiffs’ counsel are suing in-house counsel to increase the size of settlements and pit corporate insiders against each other. This program explored the personal liability risks that in-house counsel face in every day situations and provided the legal background so that in-house counsel can properly address those risks.
What does “litigation management” really mean? How do you do it? Are you supposed to be involved in every detail or merely outsource cases to outside counsel and receive status reports, or something in between? Does it matter what kind of case it is? How do you best advise your boss of the status of these cases? The panel discussed different methods and styles of litigation management, and guided attendees to determine which approach works best for them, their companies, and their cases.
Lawyers consume vast amounts of energy, paper, water and other natural resources, and we generate a large stream of waste products, all of which have a substantial impact on climate change and environmental quality. The solution to climate change and diminishing environmental quality not only includes global and national action, but also efforts by individuals, businesses and organizations — including the legal profession — to reduce environmental impacts. This session explored case studies of law firms and law departments “going green” and highlighted sustainability guidelines that have been developed by the ABA and various state bar associations.
