In the Matter of Cha Jung Hee documents award-winning film maker Deann Borshay Liem’s journey to find answers as to why her identity was switched before being sent to America for her adoption. The movie follows Deann as she returns to Korea to find her “double” and raises questions about the history and ethics of international adoption from South Korea.
After the screening, please join us for a panel discussion, featuring Korean American adoptees, their stories, and our hopes to raise awareness for the Equal Citizenship for Children Act of 2023 / Adoptee Citizenship Act, and South Korea’s Truth and Reconciliation Committee’s investigation into possible human rights violations linked to South Korea’s past military governments, including the widespread falsification of children’s origins to make them “adoptable.”
This panel discussion focuses on (i) identifying principal classes of disputes that are likely to proliferate in the next ten years in connection with international efforts at decarbonization, (ii) exploring the latest business and political issues that must be addressed for fruitful mediation of those disputes and (iii) exploring substantive doctrinal issues likely to inform the arbitrated resolution of controversies that cannot be settled. The panel will consider these issues in the context of commercial litigation and arbitration, investor-state claims, and international trade.

In the US, DOJ has only brought cartel cases on traditional categories of conduct (price fixing, bid rigging and market allocation) and courts have routinely agreed these should be analyzed under a per se standard. Recent forays into conduct that courts consider more novel or aggressive, have led courts to question whether per se treatment is appropriate, or to allow evidence of purpose, reasonableness and effect into criminal trials that would previously been excluded. In the recent Brewbaker decision, the 4th Circuit ruled that two companies engaged in classic horizontal bid rigging for a government contract did not get to proceed under a per se standard, where the companies were in a vertical relationship. Similarly, the 7th Circuit and lower courts have grappled with what the appropriate standard is to show that an agreement is ancillary to a permissible collaboration and therefore no longer per se. Our panel will debate when and why each standard is likely to apply in cartel cases.
Sleep is the cornerstone of our health. In appointments where we discuss some facet of our health, we often get the question, "and how are you sleeping"? Our mental, emotional, and physical health all hinge on sleep. In a society that is overworked and under rested many believe that sacrificing sleep will make us more productive. In reality sacrificing sleep accomplishes the opposite. How can busy attorneys get quality sleep without sacrificing our productivity?
We will discuss small habit changes from circadian rhythms to room makeovers that can immediately improve your sleep quality. Choose which habits will work best for your practice of law, your lifestyle, and your health goals and start sleeping better.
