AABANY Quarterly Report: May 1, 2020 - August 14, 2020 AABANY Quarterly Report: May 1, 2020 - August 14, 2020 Despite COVID-19 restrictions, AABANY has continued to offer our programs and services to our members in a virtual setting. In honor of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, AABANY co-hosted the “Fortune 500 General Counsel Panel: Leadership during Crisis” with NAPABA on May 21, where prominent General Counsels discussed their responses to the pandemic and the importance of diversity and inclusion initiatives. On May 28, AABANY also co-sponsored the first-ever virtual trial re-enactment of the Vincent Chin case with Allen & Overy, followed by a panel discussion. However, things changed drastically as the COVID-19 pandemic evolved and continued to spread across the nation, especially for Asian Americans. In addition to confronting the COVID-19 related challenges everyone was facing, Asian Americans were forced to take on the additional challenge of combating the rise of anti-Asian harassment and violence caused by xenophobic rhetoric blaming them for the spread of the virus. Even though AABANY had to cancel all in person events starting in March due to health concerns related to COVID-19, we have been working tirelessly to engage our members with virtual events and fiercely advocating for our community in the fight to push back against the rise in anti-Asian incidents in New York. Our award-winning Pro Bono Clinic shifted to remote operations that have been aided by a strong corp of local APALSA leaders that have worked hard through the summer to get the word out the community about the Remote Pro Bono Clinic along with the many COVID-19 relief resources compiled by AABANY. Furthermore, AABANY expressed its solidarity with the Black community in the wake of the death of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, and Breonna Taylor. During the challenges and hardships brought on by COVID-19 AABANY reflected the resilience and toughness of New York as it weathered months of New York being the epicenter of the pandemic. Over the course of the phased re-opening, AABANY remained active through its many committees to provide programming that proved meaningful and impactful for its members and the community. Special Events May 21, 2020 - In celebration of Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, AABANY hosted ​ “Fortune 500 General Counsel Panel: Leadership during Crisis” as part of the National Asian Pacific American Bar Association (“NAPABA”) General Counsel Webinar Series. The event featured a panel of prominent General Counsels covering a wide variety of industries to discuss topics that range from advice to aspiring General Counsels, crisis management with a focus on the response to the pandemic, collaboration with the board and c-suite, demonstrating legal department value from a quantitative and qualitative perspective, leveraging legal technology, enhancing the compliance function, diversity and inclusion initiatives (internally and externally with outside counsel) and maximizing the value that outside counsel brings to companies. 1 May 28, 2020 - AABANY co-sponsored a virtual trial re-enactment of the Vincent Chin case ​ with Allen & Overy–the first time a reenactment has been performed virtually via WebEx due to the restrictions of COVID-19. A panel discussion followed the trial re-enactment, featuring: Christine Choy, director of the Academy Award-nominated documentary film, “Who Killed Vincent Chin?” and professor at NYU Tisch School of Arts; Emil Guillermo, print and broadcast journalist, and contributor to the Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund’s blog; and Jia Lynn Yang, Deputy National Editor at The New York Times and author of One Mighty and ​ ​ ​ Irresistible Tide, which examines the history of immigration in the United States. The discussion ​ was moderated by John Hwang, Partner, and Jiawei Chin, Associate, at Allen & Overy. CLEs & Committee Meetings May 20, 2020 - The Judiciary Committee of AABANY and the Public Interest Committee of the ​ South Asian Bar Association of New York (SABANY) co-hosted a panel on how to become a Magistrate Judge. Recently, the Eastern District of New York announced vacancies for four US Magistrate Judge positions, the first time so many opportunities have been simultaneously available since the positions were created. The webinar provided important information and advice for individuals who might be considering a career as a Magistrate Judge. 2 May 27, 2020 - The Labor & Employment Law Committee of AABANY co-sponsored an event ​ with Littler and Alston & Bird, both Silver-level sponsors of AABANY, addressing safety guidelines for returning to work during the pandemic. The presentation highlighted a variety of topics including re-opening guidelines for different industries, Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans, and various sick leave laws. June 4, 2020 - AABANY held a virtual introduction meeting for its Pro Bono Legal Advice and ​ Referral Clinic. Since 2015, the Clinic provided in-person consultation to those with legal questions in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens on a walk-in basis or by appointment. Due to COVID-19, these operations have been suspended. In order to continue serving community needs, the Pro Bono Clinic is transitioning to a remote clinic by setting up a telephone hotline for volunteer attorneys to provide legal information and referrals to all individuals. June 10, 2020 - AABANY hosted a general interest meeting over Zoom to discuss the formation ​ of a Family & Elder Law Committee. AABANY members Beatrice Leong, S. Yan Sin, and May Wong, who all practice matrimonial law, said they proposed creating this committee because they noticed a lack of Asian Americans in the field. Despite AABANY’s history of over 30 years as a bar association, there have been no committees dedicated to matrimonial law, family law or elder law. The Family & Elder Law Committee aims to focus on issues pertaining to divorce, custody, child support, domestic violence, guardianship, estate planning, abuse/neglect, pre- and post-nuptial agreements and a host of other areas. As a committee focused on specific areas of law, the group would be able to provide support to the general membership – and even those who may not be AABANY members – by connecting them with lawyers who specialize in these fields and with other resources. The committee would also serve as a way to raise awareness about these areas of law which are more directly related to helping individuals. June 24, 2020 - Consilio held a virtual webinar for the 4th Annual APAC Conference, ​ co-sponsored by AABANY. The event was moderated by AABANY member, Mengyi “Jason” Ye and Consilio Director, Brent Stevens. Discussion was led by three panelists, including Farhat Jabeen, Managing Director at Consilio; Geoffrey Sant, Partner at Pillsbury; and Meg Utterbeck, Partner at King and Wood Mallesons. The topics included a ruling prohibiting Chinese companies listed offshore that are under investigation from transferring information offshore in response to United State regulators; cross border balancing test; and discovery constraints and logistics during the pandemic. June 25, 2020 - AABANY presented a CLE Program on divorce property disputes in the context ​ of COVID-19, featuring panelists from practitioners in matrimonial law and real estate law. The panel outlined influences of the pandemic upon real property disputes in divorce proceedings, and recounted actual cases to demonstrate. Speakers included Margaret Ling, Senior Counsel at 3 Big Apple Abstract Corp. and Co-Chair of the AABANY Real Estate Committee; Derrick Rubin, trial attorney associate at Wisselman, Harounian & Associates; Jerome Wisselman, Managing Partner at Wisselman, Harounian & Associates; and Irene Angelakis, Founding Owner at Law Offices of Irene Angelakis. June 28, 2020 - AABANY’s Solo and Small Firm Practice Committee hosted a panel on “How ​ to Woo Clients, Wow Judges, and Win Cases,” discussing professional conduct and standards of civility in the courtroom. The panel was also co-sponsored by the Litigation Committee and Judiciary Committee of AABANY. June 30, 2020 - AABANY hosted a CLE program on the New York City Climate Mobilization ​ Act’s Impact on Real Estate, featuring prominent industry leaders. The panel outlined the changes imposed by the recently passed Climate Mobilization Act, specifically Local Law 97, and their effects on both tenants and landlords. Speakers included Margaret Ling, Senior Counsel at Big Apple Abstract Corp. and Co-Chair of the AABANY Real Estate Committee; Amol Pachnanda, Partner at Ingram Yuzek LLP and Co-Chair of the AABANY Real Estate Committee; and Terri Gumula, President of MMDC Group, LLC. July 10, 2020 - AABANY co-sponsored a CLE Program on anti-Asian racism and ​ discrimination in the workplace in the COVID-19 era. The panel focused on how COVID-19 is causing an increase in anti-Asian sentiment and detailed the current state of workplace discrimination laws. Speakers included Helen Park, Counsel at Cozen O’Connor, and William Li, Principal and Founder of William K. Li Law PLLC. The program was moderated by Yoojin DeNiro, Co-Chair of the AABANY Labor & Employment Law Committee. July 23, 2020 - AABANY’s Real Estate Committee presented a CLE Program on real estate ​ closings in the COVID-19 era. The panel focused on how the real estate market is adapting to COVID-19 through new rules and practices and detailed the current state of property transactions. Speakers included Jason Wang, Licensed Real Estate Salesperson at COMPASS, Wendy Yu, Counsel at Yu Law, and Jane Chen, Associate at Forchelli Deegan Terrana LLP. The program was moderated by Margaret Ling, co-chair of the committee and Senior Counsel at Big Apple Abstract Corporation.

    What Are You Looking For? January 19, 2020 Text: John 1: 29-42 The next day he saw Jesus coming towards him and declared, ‘Here is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! This is he of whom I said, “After me comes a man who ranks ahead of me because he was before me.” I myself did not know him; but I came baptizing with water for this reason, that he might be revealed to Israel.’ John testified, ‘I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it remained on him. I myself did not know him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water said to me, “He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.” I myself have seen and have testified that this is the Son of God. The next day John again was standing with two of his disciples, and as he watched Jesus walk by, he exclaimed, ‘Look, here is the Lamb of God!’ The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus. 38When Jesus turned and saw them following, he said to them, ‘What are you looking for?’ They said to him, ‘Rabbi’ (which translated means Teacher), ‘where are you staying?’ He said to them, ‘Come and see.’ They came and saw where he was staying, and they remained with him that day. It was about four o’clock in the afternoon. One of the two who heard John speak and followed him was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.

  • Alt-Nation: Starting May Off Right
    Alt-Nation: Starting May Off Right Rough Francis The sons of Death return to the Columbus Theatre to lay a smackdown of ’70s Motor City inspired rock ‘n’ roll. I call them the sons of Death because three members of the band are sons of the Hackney brothers who had the band Death in the early ’70s. Death has come back to public eye in recent years due to the attention from the documentary, A Band Called Death. However, Rough Francis aren’t lost in the shadow of Death’s spotlight by any means. I may be a little biased toward any band that draws heavily from early ’70s Detroit bands like MC5 and The Stooges (both of which I’ve seen Rough Francis cover) but Rough Francis are the real deal. One of the best young live bands I’ve seen in recent years. Rough Francis released a killer album last year in Maximum Soul Power. Cuts off Maximum Soul Power like “Ruffians,” I-90 East,” and “Not A Nice Guy” harness the aggression of early ’70s punk rock. They mix in some psychedelic by re-working the MC5’s “Black to Comm” to their version called “Comm to Space.” Get there early for local garage rockers Gymshorts, who will get things heated up. Rough Francis and Gymshorts rock the Columbus Theatre on May 1. The Relationship The Relationship is an alt-rock super groups of sorts composed of members of Weezer, U.S. Bombs, and The Bravery. The band was formed by Weezer guitarist Brian Bell and Nate Shaw from Die Hunns.

  • 2 to Be Somebody: Ambition and the Desire to Be Different
    2 To Be Somebody: Ambition and the Desire to Be Different The context for difference This chapter aims to identify some of the bands that enjoyed chart success during the late 1970s and ’80s and identify their artistic traits by means of conversations with band members and those close to the bands. This chapter does not claim to be a definitive account or an inclusive list of innovative bands but merely a viewpoint from some of the individuals who were present at the time and involved in music, creativity and youth culture. Some of these individuals were in the eye of the storm while others were more on the periphery. However, common themes emerge and testify to the Scouse resilience identified in the previous chapter. Also, identifying objective truth is a difficult task, as one band member will often have a view of his band’s history that conflicts with that of other members of the same band. As such, it is acknowledged that this chapter presents only selective viewpoints. Trying something new: In what ways were the Liverpool bands creative and different? ‘Liverpool has always made me brave, choice-wise. It was never a city that criticized anyone for taking a chance.’ David Morrissey1 In terms of creativity, the theory underpinning this book which was stated in Chapter 1 is that successful Liverpool bands in the 1980s were different from each other and did not attempt to follow the latest local or national pop music trends. None of the bands interviewed falls into the categories of punk, disco or New Romantic, which were popular trends at the time.
