  • Washington, D.C. Update – September 2016
    GOVERNMENT RELATIONS AND PUBLIC POLICY September 2016 This is an advertisement. Washington, D.C. Update Clinton and Trump: A Policy Comparison This month, we have a special edition of the Baker Donelson Washington Update focusing on what to expect from the 45th President of the United States. Of course we are all waiting on the November election to find out whether that will be Secretary Hillary Clinton or Mr. Donald Trump; in the meantime, we will examine a number of the candidates’ statements, proposals and announced transition teams to get a sense of what we can expect when a new president is sworn into office on January 20, 2017. Here is what is included in this month’s Washington Update: • Taxes – Clinton and Trump Propose Diametrically Opposed Tax Plans • Trade and Investment – A Rare Area of Agreement on TPP • The Economy – Two Differing Ways to Grow the Economy and Create Shared Prosperity • Energy and Environment – Opposites on Oil, Gas and Coal; Potential Overlap in Nuclear Power • Health Care – The Fight Over the ACA Continues • Presidential Transition Teams Regarding the potential for a long-term budget and appropriations deal or the future of defense spending, other than a commitment by Secretary Clinton to provide “budgetary certainty to facilitate reforms and enable long-term planning,” these issues have not been meaningfully addressed by either campaign. For additional information regarding the current budget decisions, please see the Washington, D.C. Fall Preview in which we examined the FY17 appropriations process and discussed the future of defense policy with former Vice Chief of Staff of the Air Force retired General Carrol “Howie” Chandler.

    HLS in the World Artificial Intelligence and the Practice of Law Faculty Host: Susan Crawford ​ Participants: Edward Felten, Stasia Kelly ​ Join Edward Felten, one of the nation's leading experts on artificial intelligence, and Stasia Kelly, a leader of DLA Piper, as they discuss the effect of artificial intelligence on the practice of law. When clients get their answers from machines, what's left for lawyers to do? The Changing Political and Intellectual Landscape of Criminal Justice Reform Faculty Hosts: Andrew Crespo ’08, Carol Steiker ’86, Alex Whiting ​ ​ ​ Participants: Rachel Barkow ’96, Brook Hopkins ’07, Alan Jenkins ’89, Derecka Purnell ​ ’17, Jonathan Wroblewski The law, politics, and scholarship of criminal justice reform have been shifting in potentially tectonic ways. After several decades of increasingly punitive policies across the country which resulted in surging incarceration rates, the last several years have seen an increasingly bipartisan shift towards a critique of what has come to be called mass incarceration. Yet, the recent presidential election signals a shift in federal priorities away from a reform agenda a development that may (or may not) have consequences for the recent trajectory in favor of reform by many state and local actors. This interactive discussion explores these crosscurrents in the law, policy, and discourse surrounding our criminal justice system. Constitutionalism and Courts: A Transnational Conversation Among Judges Faculty Hosts: Vicki Jackson, Mark Tushnet ​ Participants: Rosalie Abella, Manuel Jose Cepeda LL.M. ’87, Dieter Grimm LL.M. ’65, ​ Koenraad Lenaerts LL.M. ’78, Sandile Ngcobo LL.M. ’86 A moderated discussion among justices from high courts around the world about, among other topics, the challenges they face, the ways they interpret their constitutions and similar documents, and the role of international and comparative law in their work.

  • 2017 ANNUAL REPORT 1 Dear Friends
    Our mission is to help young people, especially those who need us most, build strong character and realize their full potential as responsible citizens and leaders. We do this by providing: a safe haven filled with hope and opportunity, ongoing relationships with caring adults, and life-enhancing programs. BOYS & GIRLS CLUBS OF BOSTON 2017 ANNUAL REPORT 1 Dear Friends, This year – and for the last three years – under the remarkable leadership of outgoing Board Chair Dana Smith, Boys & Girls Clubs of Boston has worked diligently to develop an incredible breadth and depth of thoughtfully designed programs to help our members succeed academically, live healthy lifestyles, practice good citizenship and be prepared for life after the Club. In this report, I invite you to read about just a few of the opportunities we provided to more than 17,000 young people at our Clubs. While BGCB invests $3,100 to serve each member – many of whom come from households with incomes of less than $33,000 per year – we only charge $25 per school year for 6-12 year olds and just $5 a year for teens – and no child is turned away because of an inability to pay. Each one of the generous contributions made by the individuals, corporations, foundations and community partners listed in this report played an important role in making this possible. In order to stay affordable and continue to offer even more enriching programs to the kids who need us most, I am excited to share that we successfully completed our five-year Opening Doors Campaign for Our Children, Our City, Our Future and surpassed our goal of $125 million – raising $131 million! We have also exceeded our planned giving goal of securing over 75 members of the Frederic C.
