Social Media: Employee Ideology v. Company Values (Jun 2018)
As mobile technology and social media continue to evolve, individuals are increasingly able to express their personal beliefs to wider and wider audiences. Explore the practical and legal challenges presented when agents are recorded, depicted, or seen expressing views on social media in a way that conflicts with a company’s cultural values. Hear real world situations, including the events of Charlottesville, Virginia, the viral manifesto on women in technology written by an individual engineer, and the photographs, recordings, and recountings of intolerable behavior by powerful figures in entertainment, politics, and business.

To C or not to C? Entity Selection in the New Tax Age (Aug 2018)
Tax reform enacted in 2017 changed the tax treatment of business entities, including a reduction in the corporate rate and a new deduction for partners, and brings new considerations into play when choosing or changing the form of doing business. Discuss the operation of the new rules that may influence your selection now, when and why pass-through entities may still be the right choice and how and when multi-entity structures may be useful.

Form Contracts That Don’t Mean What They Say (Jul 2018)
In an age when plain-text interpretation dominates cases of contract construction, it is surprising how many contracts do not mean what they plainly say—especially in certain widely used form contracts. When is a nonstandard meaning of a standard contract term an exception to “plain meaning?”

Dealing with Bad Facts (Dec 2017)
Every case has bad facts, some to a greater degree. The opponent always has points to make. Filing for a motion in limine is the first line of defense, but if that fails or there is no legitimate argument to exclude the bad evidence, what do you do? Investigate whether it is best to deal with bad facts only after the opponent introduces them, or if it is better to “inoculate” the jury against negative effects by introducing them first in a weakened form.
