Professor Juscelino Colares and the Trade Law Fall Update Organizing Committee welcome you to the 2024 Fall Update, to be held virtually via Zoom. National security and industrial policy are prompting governments around the world to intervene in trade and foreign investment. Actions that were rare ten years ago have become part of the landscape of trade and customs law, impacting companies and their counsel in Ohio and the Midwest. As Congress and the administration expand the scope of economic regulation of trade and investment, companies that thought they had no connection to these regulations may suddenly face new compliance responsibilities and unforeseen exposure to liability. How can the consequences of a trade case or a Customs enforcement action affect unwary companies in a different industry? How will the administration’s new regulations on outbound investment by U.S. companies directly and indirectly affect transactions across the U.S. economy, U.S. capital markets, and access to venture capital? The 2024 edition of the Trade Law Fall Update will focus on these new challenges and their significance for companies, their counsel, and the practice of trade and customs law – with panels drawn from the best-informed experts at the cutting edge of these new areas. Join this fully online conference to also follow our roundup panel on trade and customs law – including the Supreme Court’s suite of 2024 decisions on administrative law and new challenges created for trade cases; and recent developments in Customs, Section 301, Section 232 and trade remedy practice. In our windup panel, experts on legal ethics and artificial intelligence (AI) will explore AI, what it can do for the practice of law, and how the legal community uses AI tools including preparing materials for trade-facing Federal agencies and the courts. Learn from them about the risks that AI poses for lawyers, and how to use AI tools consistent with legal ethics rules. CLE Reading Materials. Event Agenda.
