Conference Agenda

Note: Panels below have speakers from CLA, Czech Bar, The
European Association of Bars and Law Societies, Foreign
Marseille Bar and other Foreign Bars

Comparative Bar Association Regulation, Rule of Law
and Human Rights: What Justice Means in International
Law Practices
Leadership will discuss the regulation and functioning of
lawyers and implementation of domestic and international
laws under the rules and restrictions of their Bar Organizations,
specialized courts, and general laws. Legal regulators, Bar
leaders and practitioners from California and other International
Jurisdictions will analyze the legal and institutional precepts
of cross-border Attorney Practice and Licensure Rules and
implications of virtual lawyering clients in their own jurisdictions.
Comparative evaluation of how different Bar Associations foster
rule of law, implement human rights through education and
outreach advocacy and implementation of client protections in
a cross-border environment. The panel will discuss what Public
Education resources are available to practitioners, and analyze
practical issues related to dealing with attorneys licensed in
foreign jurisdictions.

Conference Agenda

Art, Architecture, Film: Legal Nexus of Real Property,
Moral Rights, Digital Rights, Technology and Urban
Development
America’s joining the international Berne Convention in late
20th Century required common law adaptation to civil law
precepts. Czech Republic is home to award winning novelists,
film makers, and artists. This panel parses how 21st century
practice necessitates knowledge of the laws of European Union,
United States, national laws and international treaties. Culture
and preservation of art and architecture has different historical
legacy in Europe and the Czech Republic than in America, and
the effect of differing regulation impacts architectural preservation
and the urban landscape in which all of us work. In era of football
now one of most highly attended sports in the UK and soccer’s
growing popularity in the USA, endorsement contracts for
celebrities, sports idols and others contribute to cross border
mesh publicity rights of creators analyzed by this panel. Experts
will explain realty law and how urban planning regulation impacts
architectural treasures in historic gems like Prague, a city rich in
legacy of many civilizations, regimes, and democracy.

Professional rules, disciplinary proceedings and
unauthorized provision of legal services:
This Panel compares and analyzes the ethical and disciplinary
rules in their respective jurisdictions, including how they deal
with the unauthorized provision of legal services, and how
internet affects rendering services to clients communicating
with third parties. Practitioners will learn about infrastructures
in place to help protect clients and others in the community
from substandard or illegal legal services. The panel will also
address professional rules that arise in the context of working with
attorneys and clients in foreign jurisdictions, including the ethics
of sharing legal fees with foreign attorneys.

Conference Agenda

Remote communication with clients, Lawyers’ use of
online legal platforms, internet and cloud:
This Panel focuses on practical issues in the setting of law practice
management and communications challenges dealing with clients in
other time zones and cultures. With today’s abundant information and
communication technology, it is more possible than ever for attorneys
and their clients to work with others across the globe. Attendees
will learn about the latest technological applications being used by
practitioners and compare what techniques and technology attorneys
are more pervasive and available in each jurisdiction.

Cross Border Effects of New Privacy Laws California
and the European Union: Compliance, Vigilance and
Protection of e-communications with clients, data
security, surveillance, and drones
The new EU Data Privacy and California Privacy Law have
changed the internet environment for media, commerce and
lawyers. Whether you represent companies, attorneys, creators,
service industries, work a blog, work as a lawyer or consultant, or
do just about anything virtually on the internet, the analysis of this
panel applies. Massive breaches of security and privacy data by
public entities, governmental agencies, private companies, social
media platforms and financial megaliths traded on NASDAQ have
all had data breaches where supposedly “secure” data prevention
systems have not prevented hacks into user’s personal data.
These new laws purport to regulate both recipient use and
recipient disclosure to users, and have varying abilities to terminate
offending sites and issue fines and penalties for noncompliance.
Learn how to coordinate cross border privacy compliance, the
metrics of compliance and how to navigate the intricacies of web
sites, e-promos, legal services, and e-tail under ever increasing
patchwork of e-law, domestic and international.
Coupled with privacy are surveillance issues of locations and
activities as drones, devices, artificial intelligence, and your very
own cell phones are tracking you. Learn from experts the legal
boundaries, who regulates them, and what you can do to protect
your own practice and your clients.
