5 SPEAKERS, TOPICS AND SESSIONS Tuesday 26 June 1730 Chair: Stephen Estcourt Q.C. Chief Judge James Holderman Chief Judge Holderman will open the Conference. He has been a United States District Judge in Chicago since 1985 and was named Chief Judge of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois in July, 2006. During his tenure on the bench, Judge Holderman has presided over numerous cases in all areas of federal jurisdiction, including intellectual property cases. He has also served by designation as a judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Chief Judge Seventh Circuit. James Holderman 1800–2000 Opening Reception Wednesday 27 June 0900 Chair: The Hon. Justice Tracey The Hon. Judge Richard Posner Not a Suicide Pact: The Constitution in a Time of National Emergency Judge Posner was appointed in 1981 as a judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. He served as Chief Judge of that court from 1993 to 2000. Judge Posner is an unusual combination of a pragmatist in philosophy, a classical liberal in politics, and an economist in legal methodology. A 2004 poll by Legal Affairs magazine named Posner as one of the top twenty legal thinkers The Hon. Judge in the U.S. A prolific author of articles and books on a wide range of topics Richard Posner including the 2000 presidential election recount controversy, President Clinton’s scandalous affair with Monica Lewinsky and his resulting impeachment procedure, and the 2003 invasion of Iraq. His analysis of the Lewinsky scandal cut across most party and ideological divisions. Posner’s greatest influence is through his writings on law and economics — The New York Times called him “one of the most important antitrust scholars of the past half-century”.

Patrick Fitzgerald Prosecuting Terrorism Trials United States Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois After being in private practice, Fitzgerald became an Assistant United States Attorney in New York City in 1988. He handled drug-trafficking cases and in 1993 assisted in the prosecution of Mafia figure John Gotti, the boss of the Gambino crime family. In 1994, Fitzgerald became the prosecutor in the case against Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman and 11 others charged in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. (continued next page) Patrick Fitzgerald

6 In 1996, Fitzgerald became the National Security Coordinator for the Office of the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York. There, he served on a team of prosecutors investigating Osama bin Laden. He also served as chief counsel in prosecutions related to the 1998 U.S. embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania. On December 30, 2003, Fitzgerald was appointed Special Counsel in the Plame investigation. In October 28, 2005, Fitzgerald brought an indictment for 5 counts of false statements, perjury, and obstruction of justice against Lewis “Scooter” Libby, U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney’s Chief of Staff. The trial of those indictments recently concluded. Lewis was convicted on four counts. 1030 Morning Break 1100 Chair: Martin Daubney S.C. Tina Tchen Deposition Tips from the Trenches Partner, Skadden Arps, Chicago. Ms. Tchen has represented companies, officers and directors in shareholder class and derivative actions, including Sprint Corporation, Abbott Laboratories, USN Communications, Inc., Centel Corporation, Zenith Electronics Corporation, GATX Corp., Borg-Warner Corporation, Bally Manufacturing Corporation, Tina Tchen Santa Fe Corporation, William Blair & Company, and The Mitchell Company. She has represented several clients such as Health Net, Inc., Ameritech, Chorus Communications, Heller Financial, Inc., Sara Lee Corporation and CTS Corporation in acquisition-related litigation, including injunction, fraudulent conveyance, breach of contract, and corporate governance actions. She has tried cases in bankruptcy on behalf of Comdisco, Inc., and Kmart Corporation. Depositions can be the true trench warfare of litigation. While few cases get to actual trial. Most get at least to the deposition stage. As a result, depositions can be the only battleground where litigators engage in face- to-face live-action combat, with witnesses, court reporters, and clients on hand. And more often than not, the battle is recorded live on tape, not just on transcript, for posterity. How can you survive the battle, score points, and come out ahead?

Having handled numerous high profile cases, Robert A. Clifford will address the risks and benefits of speaking to the press and developing a communications strategy. Ethics and privacy considerations also will be considered.

9 1030 Morning Break 1100 Chair: Ross Gillies Q.C. The Hon. Judge Suzanne B Conlon Tempus Fugit: Practical Tips from the Bench for Trying a Case against the Clock.

Goldfarb); and articles in the Pepperdine Law Review, the Alabama Law Review, The Judicial Review: Journal of the Judicial Commission of New South Wales. (continued next page)

10 Prof. Raymond has lectured on legal writing in Australia, Canada, England, Ethiopia, Guyana, India, Jamaica, Malawi, Mauritius, New Zealand, the People’s Republic of China, the Philippines, the Solomon Islands, St. Lucia, Switzerland, Trinidad and Tobago, the U.S., Zambia, Zimbabwe, and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda. Judges crave simplicity. They want to know the issues, the relevant facts, the remedy sought, and the legal principle that justifies that remedy. They want to see the flaw in your opponent’s argument. They want to feel that truth and justice are served by ruling in your favour. But lawyers everywhere are mired unexamined traditions that obscure basic information and bleed interest from the most dramatic conflicts imaginable. In this presentation, problems and solutions will be explored with examples drawn from Australia, New Zealand, North America, and common law jurisdictions in more exotic locations.

Ian Harris Ian Harris isn’t a doctor, but he plays one in court. Actually, more than one. When he isn’t practicing his craft as a professional actor in shows, he’s in the courtroom reading depositions for people excused from attending a trial due to distance or other difficulties. For Harris, the job actually started as a fluke in 1993 when an attorney hired him to recite the statements by a doctor who stuttered. He asked the judge if he could have someone come and read it, said Harris, who runs Law Actors, a Chicago-based firm that provides actors who read depositions at trials. The judge said, ‘Sure.’ Ian Harris Since then, Harris has played and cast actors to play more than 100 roles. His thespians have played doctors, lawyers and witnesses in cases ranging from New York to California. The depositions, primarily for civil cases, ordinarily would be read by attorneys or their staff, possibly to jurors. The idea is that an actor will do the lines justice, keeping the audience - jurors and the judge - more engaged. 1. Evidence Deposition Readings Why using an actor is a more effective way of presenting evidence deposition testimony at trial, rather than the use of video depositions or people from your firm. How actors can bring the testimony “alive” and keep the jury awake during evidence deposition readings.

2. Mock trials The use of actors in “mock trial” training exercises. Why lawyers use actors for mock jury exercises.

3. Deposition Programs Why law firms should have an in-house deposition program. The value of using actors as witnesses in deposition programs.

4. Witness Preparation The role an actor plays in preparing a witness for trial.

5. Presentation Skills What actors can teach lawyers.

11 Friday 29 June 0900 Chair: The Honourable Justice Gray The Hon. Madam Justice Rosalie Abella Pursuing Justice in the21st Century Rosalie Silberman Abella was appointed to the Supreme Court of Canada in 2004 after 12 years as a Justice on the Ontario Court of Appeal.

She was appointed to the Ontario Court of Appeal in 1992, and to the Canadian Supreme Court in 2004. In 1983-84, Justice Abella was the sole Commissioner of the Canadian Royal Commission on Equality in Employment., which created the term and concept of “employment equity” – a new strategy for reducing barriers in employment faced by women, aboriginal people, non-whites, and people with disabilities. The theories of “equality” and “discrimination” Justice Abella developed in her Report were adopted by the Supreme Court of Canada in its first decision dealing with equality rights under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

12 Lee Epstein The Appointment of Federal Judges in the United States Lee Epstein is the Beatrice Kuhn Professor of Law and Professor of Political Science at Northwestern University, and a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the American Academy of Political and Social Science. Epstein has authored, co-authored, or edited over eighty articles and essays, as well as fourteen books, including the Constitutional Law for a Changing America series (in its 6th edition; winner of the Teaching and Mentoring Award from the Law and Courts Section of the American Political Science Association), Lee Epstein The Supreme Court Compendium (in its 4th edition; winner of a Special Recognition Honour from the Law and Courts Section of the American Political Science Association and an Outstanding Academic Book Award from Choice), and The Choices Justices Make (recipient of the Pritchett award for the Best Book on Law and Courts). Her most recent book, Advice and Consent: The Politics of Judicial Appointments (Oxford University Press, 2005) received extensive media coverage, with its findings reported in the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times, among other outlets. The process of appointing federal judges in the United States always has been politically contentious. I explore why politics---in the form of ideology and partisanship---plays such an extensive role in the nomination and confirmation of judges. I also plan to consider the advantages and drawbacks of the U.S. appointments system. 1100 Morning Break 1130 Chair: Glenn Martin S.C. Regulation and Independence of the Profession – Panel Discussion Geoffrey Vos QC Chairman, Bar of England and Wales Roy Martin QC Dean, Faculty of Advocates, Scotland In Scotland, recent legislation has created a Scottish Legal Complaints Commission Geoffrey Vos QC which will administer all complaints against members of the legal profession. Officials of the Scottish Executive are already taking significant steps towards the setting up and policy-making of the Commission even before any Commissioners have been appointed. The Faculty is the subject of a formal investigation by the Office of Fair Trading into our rule against an advocate appearing along with a solicitor-advocate. The Consumers Association has submitted a “Super-complaint” to the OFT challenging the entire structure of the legal profession in Scotland. The Scottish Executive has published proposals to create a unified judiciary which would be served by a single court service. Despite substantial consultation responses to the contrary, the court service is still intended to be part of the civil service and Roy Martin QC controllable by Ministers. Meanwhile in England and Wales, the senior judiciary are maintaining that the establishment of a Secretary of State for Justice has breached the statutory duty to respect the independence of the judiciary.

13 Colin Carruthers QC New Zealand Bar Association Graduated from the University of Auckland, New Zealand, with a degree of Bachelor of Laws with Honours. Admitted as a barrister and solicitor of the (now) High Court of New Zealand in 1968. Worked with a major New Zealand law firm as a law clerk, solicitor and partner for just over 20 years. Based in Wellington, New Zealand. Practised as a barrister since 1987. Appointed Queen’s Counsel in 1990. Worked in a broad range of general litigation but primarily in commercial Colin Carruthers QC litigation and appeared in New Zealand courts at all levels (District Court, High Court, Court of Appeal, Privy Council and now Supreme Court). A member of the Council of the New Zealand Bar Association. The timing of the discussion of this topic is fortuitous for a New Zealand practitioner. After a very controversial and troubled history the Lawyers and Conveyancers Act was enacted in 2006. It has yet to be brought into force by Order-in-Council and this will not occur before July 2008. The aspects of the Act for discussion are – • Approval of Practice Rules The Minister responsible for the Act must approve Rules made under the Act. Historically, ethical rules were made by the Council of the New Zealand Law Society and promulgated as Regulations. The concern is that through the rule – making process, political considerations may dictate the conduct of practice. • The intervention rule The Act and the political and professional climate point to issues concerning retention of the rule. • Incorporation There is power under the Act for lawyers to incorporate. By definition, the power is available to barristers. • New disciplinary regime There will be a new concept of “unsatisfactory conduct”. A “Legal Complaints Review Officer” who is not a lawyer is to be appointed by the Minister (but paid for by the profession). A “Lawyers and Conveyancers Disciplinary Tribunal” potentially of equal numbers of lay members and lawyers, is to be appointed on the recommendation of the Minister (but paid for by the profession). • Senior Counsel Appointment in future of Senior Counsel, who may be lawyers in firms.
