On Friday, Edward and Kandis are joined by Erika Hiramatsu, Steve Koh, Kolin Tang, and Grace Park to present “How to Whet Uncle Sam’s Whistle: A Guide to Litigating Cases under the False Claims Act.” This program will cover issues that commonly arise in litigating cases brought under the False Claims Act where the government declines to intervene, with a particular focus on healthcare cases. The panelists will offer discussion from the points of view of counsel for Relators, Government, and Defendants. This CLE will also include an explanation of the key provisions of the FCA, recent key cases involving the healthcare industry, and recent policy developments and enforcement trends under the Biden Administration.

Emoji use is increasing, and courts—like us—are learning how to interpret them in the context of a trial, in the workplace, and in a plethora of practice areas. The purpose of the CLE, “Emoji Law: Are You Prepared for Emojis, Emoticons and Hashtags in Litigation?” is to help attorneys learn how to best represent clients on these issues, the most recent cases dealing with emojis, the role of the hashtag in the law and points of consideration for in-house counsel. The program will provide an overview of emojis, emoticons and hashtags; learn intent and literal interpretations, related Model Rules of Professional Conduct, and a variety of civil and criminal cases. The panel will address topics that include evidence, contracts, criminal harassment, discrimination, and workplace issues and policies, and how to best protect your company from harmful litigation.

NAPABA is the preeminent professional development organization and voice for 50,000 Asian Pacific American attorneys, judges, law professors, and law students. NAPABA represents the interests of nearly 90 national, state, and local Asian Pacific American bar associations. Kang Haggerty is a proud sponsor of the 2019 Convention.
