The conference was excellent!
Overall, the course was very helpful. The technology for watching/listening via mobile device needs improvement.
This on-line version was the WORST I have ever taken. The videos kept turning themselves off and when you would go back it, the video would start over from the beginning. It was maddening.
Favorite conference. This was my first time to attend as an econference. It worked pretty well.

Enforcement Trends (Apr 2018)
The federal government and various states continue to investigate and litigate healthcare fraud cases across all sectors of the industry. While 2017 was a significant year, 2018 should be the same with the False Claims Act remaining a focus of government and whistleblower activity, especially since the Supreme Court’s decision in Escobar. Courts have spent significant time analyzing and addressing the FCA in light of that opinion and others. No less important has been the criminal and administrative cases and trends, notably the use of creative theories to investigate and prosecute alleged illegal kickback and Stark law violations. Hear an overview of 2017 and 2018 trends.

Ethics in Contracting Issues (Apr 2018)
Using hypotheticals, this presentation focuses on a number of ethics issues that might arise in contracting situations. Can lawyers take advantage of privileged communications the adversary inadvertently sends them? Can lawyers receiving electronic documents look for hidden metadata the other side has not scrubbed? What duties do lawyers have in representing contracting parties, with regards to disclosing client confidences to prevent the adversary from being deceived about the clients' intent, or to correct the adversary's misunderstanding about the law, the contract's terms, or the adversary's scriveners error?
