FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A	2023 JUDGES FORUM: EXPERT TESTIMONY: JUDGES, VOIR DIRE, AND TRIAL BY JURY. THIS 31ST ANNUAL JUDGES FORUM WAS HELD IN PERSON JULY 15, 2023 IN PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA. 81 JUDGES, ACADEMICS, AND ATTORNEYS FROM 29 STATES AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA LEARNED ABOUT THE UNIQUE NATURE OF SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE IN AMERICAN CIVIL JUSTICE, AND CONSIDERED WHETHER MODERATING THE ROLE OF JUDGES AS EVIDENCE GATEKEEPERS WOULD BE BENEFICIAL FOR COURTS AND FOR THE AMERICAN LEGAL AND POLITICAL SYSTEM AS A WHOLE.

DEAN ERWIN CHEMERINSKY (BERKELEY LAW) DELIVERED THE KEYNOTE ADDRESS, AND AN OUTSTANDING FACULTY LED PROVOCATIVE DISCUSSIONS ON THESE IMPORTANT ISSUES. THE AUDIENCE CONSISTED OF JUDGES AND LAW PROFESSORS FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY, LAW STUDENTS, ATTORNEYS, NON-PROFIT PROFESSIONALS, COURT CLERKS, AND GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS.

FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4C	THE INSTITUTE'S 2023 APPELLATE ADVOCACY AWARD WAS PRESENTED TO ATTORNEYS WHO HAVE BEEN INSTRUMENTAL IN SECURING FINAL APPELLATE COURT DECISIONS WITH SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY, PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY, CONSUMER RIGHTS, CIVIL RIGHTS, AND MORE. THE 2023 AWARD WAS PRESENTED-FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE AWARD'S HISTORY-TO ATTORNEYS IN TWO VERY DESERVING VICTORIES: KARLA GILBRIDE AND LEAH NICHOLLS (THEN BOTH OF PUBLIC JUSTICE) FOR MORGAN V. SUNDANCE, 142 S. CT. 1708 (2022), REPRESENTING A MAJOR FORCED ARBITRATION WIN BEFORE THE U.S. SUPREME COURT; AND TIMOTHY BILLION OF ROBINS KAPLAN LLP FOR ROSEBUD SIOUX TRIBE V. UNITED STATES, 9 F.4TH 1018 (8TH CIR. 2021), IN A CRUCIAL TRIBAL RIGHTS VICTORY. MORGAN V. SUNDANCE: IN RECENT YEARS THE U.S. SUPREME COURT HAS PROMOTED THE MECHANISM OF ARBITRATION OVER LITIGATION AND EXPANDING THE REACH OF THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT, WITH DISASTROUS RESULTS FOR CONSUMERS, WORKERS, AND OTHERS WHO NEED TO PURSUE LEGAL REMEDIES IN COURT. MANY, IF NOT MOST, MODERN COMMERCIAL TRANSACTIONS AND EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS INCLUDE MANDATORY ARBITRATION CLAUSES THAT MAKE IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT FOR INDIVIDUAL CONSUMERS OR WORKERS TO OBTAIN MEANINGFUL REDRESS, BECAUSE THE LARGER CORPORATE PARTY CAN USUALLY DICTATE ITS OWN TERMS. WHEN ROBYN MORGAN WAS HIRED AS AN HOURLY EMPLOYEE AT A TACO BELL RESTAURANT OWNED BY SUNDANCE, INC., SHE WAS REQUIRED TO SIGN AN AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE ANY EMPLOYMENT DISPUTE. NEVERTHELESS, WHEN SHE BELIEVED THAT SUNDANCE WAS VIOLATING APPLICABLE LAW WITH RESPECT TO OVERTIME PAY, SHE FILED A NATIONWIDE COLLECTIVE ACTION AGAINST THE COMPANY UNDER THE FAIR LABOR STANDARDS ACT (FLSA). AFTER EIGHT MONTHS OF LITIGATION, DURING WHICH SUNDANCE SOUGHT DISMISSAL AND PARTICIPATED IN UNSUCCESSFUL MEDIATION, THE COMPANY MOVED TO COMPEL ARBITRATION UNDER THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT (FAA). ITS MOTION WAS DENIED BY THE DISTRICT COURT, BUT, ON SUNDANCE'S APPEAL, THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE EIGHTH CIRCUIT REVERSED AND REMANDED. REPRESENTED BY KARLA GILBRIDE AND LEAH NICHOLLS, MS. MORGAN TOOK HER CASE TO THE U.S. SUPREME COURT. MORGAN ARGUED THAT, BY LITIGATING FOR TOO LONG, SUNDANCE HAD WAIVED ITS RIGHT TO COMPEL ARBITRATION. SUNDANCE ARGUED THAT ITS DELAY IN SEEKING ARBITRATION HAD NOT PREJUDICED THE PLAINTIFF, AND THAT IT WAS ENTITLED TO ARBITRATE. IN MORGAN V. SUNDANCE, INC., 142 S. CT. 1708 (2022), THE SUPREME COURT UNANIMOUSLY VACATED AND REMANDED. IN AN OPINION BY JUSTICE KAGAN, THE COURT HELD THAT PREJUDICE IS NOT A CONDITION FOR FINDING THAT A PARTY, BY LITIGATING TOO LONG, WAIVED ITS RIGHT TO STAY LITIGATION OR COMPEL ARBITRATION. THE SUPREME COURT'S DECISION OVERRULED THE 8TH CIRCUIT AND EIGHT OTHER CIRCUITS THAT HAD EMBRACED ARBITRATION-SPECIFIC WAIVER RULES REQUIRING A SHOWING OF PREJUDICE TO THE NON-WAIVING PARTY. THIS HOLDING MAKES IT EASIER FOR CLAIMANTS TO SHOW THAT A DEFENDANT HAS WAIVED A RIGHT TO COMPEL ARBITRATION BY PARTICIPATING SUBSTANTIALLY IN LITIGATION WITHOUT REGARD TO WHETHER SUCH PARTICIPATION HAS PREJUDICED THE CLAIMANT. ROSEBUD SIOUX TRIBE V. UNITED STATES: TIMOTHY BILLION OF ROBINS KAPLAN LLP IN MINNEAPOLIS, MN LED A PRO BONO EFFORT ON BEHALF OF THE ROSEBUD SIOUX INDIAN TRIBE TO REMEDY HISTORICALLY INADEQUATE HEALTHCARE FOR TRIBE'S MEMBERS AND SECURE QUALITY CARE IN THE FUTURE. HE USED THE INNOVATIVE VEHICLE OF A COMPLAINT FOR A DECLARATORY JUDGMENT THAT THE 1868 TREATY OF FORT LARAMIE, THE SNYDER ACT, THE INDIAN HEALTH CARE IMPROVEMENT ACT (IHCIA), AND FEDERAL COMMON LAW, REQUIRED THE GOVERNMENT TO PROVIDE COMPETENT PHYSICIAN-LED HEALTHCARE TO THE TRIBE AND ITS MEMBERS, AND TO ENSURE THAT THE HEALTH CARE SERVICES PROVIDED DID NOT FALL BELOW HIGHEST POSSIBLE STANDARDS OF PROFESSIONAL CARE. REPRESENTED BY MR. BILLION, THE TRIBE OBTAINED A PARTIAL SUMMARY JUDGMENT IN THE U. S. DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF SOUTH DAKOTA, AND THE GOVERNMENT APPEALED. IN ROSEBUD SIOUX TRIBE V. UNITED STATES, 9 F.4TH 1018 (8TH CIR. 2021), THE U.S. COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE EIGHTH CIRCUIT AFFIRMED THE SUMMARY JUDGMENT IN FAVOR OF THE TRIBE, HOLDING THAT THE UNITED STATES HAD A DUTY TO PROVIDE COMPETENT HEALTH CARE TO THE TRIBE AND ITS MEMBERS, AND THAT THE DUTY TO PROVIDE SUCH "COMPETENT PHYSICIAN-LED HEALTH CARE" WAS SUFFICIENTLY CONCRETE AND SPECIFIC. TIMOTHY BILLION AND HIS TEAM ENGAGED IN BRILLIANT ADVOCACY IN PURSUIT OF A NOBLE GOAL AND SECURED AN OUTSTANDING RESULT.

	THE INSTITUTE'S 2023 APPELLATE ADVOCACY AWARD WAS PRESENTED TO ATTORNEYS WHO HAVE BEEN INSTRUMENTAL IN SECURING FINAL APPELLATE COURT DECISIONS WITH SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY, PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY, CONSUMER RIGHTS, CIVIL RIGHTS, AND MORE. THE 2023 AWARD WAS PRESENTED-FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE AWARD'S HISTORY-TO ATTORNEYS IN TWO VERY DESERVING VICTORIES: KARLA GILBRIDE AND LEAH NICHOLLS (THEN BOTH OF PUBLIC JUSTICE) FOR MORGAN V. SUNDANCE, 142 S. CT. 1708 (2022), REPRESENTING A MAJOR FORCED ARBITRATION WIN BEFORE THE U.S. SUPREME COURT; AND TIMOTHY BILLION OF ROBINS KAPLAN LLP FOR ROSEBUD SIOUX TRIBE V. UNITED STATES, 9 F.4TH 1018 (8TH CIR. 2021), IN A CRUCIAL TRIBAL RIGHTS VICTORY. MORGAN V. SUNDANCE: IN RECENT YEARS THE U.S. SUPREME COURT HAS PROMOTED THE MECHANISM OF ARBITRATION OVER LITIGATION AND EXPANDING THE REACH OF THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT, WITH DISASTROUS RESULTS FOR CONSUMERS, WORKERS, AND OTHERS WHO NEED TO PURSUE LEGAL REMEDIES IN COURT. MANY, IF NOT MOST, MODERN COMMERCIAL TRANSACTIONS AND EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS INCLUDE MANDATORY ARBITRATION CLAUSES THAT MAKE IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT FOR INDIVIDUAL CONSUMERS OR WORKERS TO OBTAIN MEANINGFUL REDRESS, BECAUSE THE LARGER CORPORATE PARTY CAN USUALLY DICTATE ITS OWN TERMS. WHEN ROBYN MORGAN WAS HIRED AS AN HOURLY EMPLOYEE AT A TACO BELL RESTAURANT OWNED BY SUNDANCE, INC., SHE WAS REQUIRED TO SIGN AN AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE ANY EMPLOYMENT DISPUTE. NEVERTHELESS, WHEN SHE BELIEVED THAT SUNDANCE WAS VIOLATING APPLICABLE LAW WITH RESPECT TO OVERTIME PAY, SHE FILED A NATIONWIDE COLLECTIVE ACTION AGAINST THE COMPANY UNDER THE FAIR LABOR STANDARDS ACT (FLSA). AFTER EIGHT MONTHS OF LITIGATION, DURING WHICH SUNDANCE SOUGHT DISMISSAL AND PARTICIPATED IN UNSUCCESSFUL MEDIATION, THE COMPANY MOVED TO COMPEL ARBITRATION UNDER THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT (FAA). ITS MOTION WAS DENIED BY THE DISTRICT COURT, BUT, ON SUNDANCE'S APPEAL, THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE EIGHTH CIRCUIT REVERSED AND REMANDED. REPRESENTED BY KARLA GILBRIDE AND LEAH NICHOLLS, MS. MORGAN TOOK HER CASE TO THE U.S. SUPREME COURT. MORGAN ARGUED THAT, BY LITIGATING FOR TOO LONG, SUNDANCE HAD WAIVED ITS RIGHT TO COMPEL ARBITRATION. SUNDANCE ARGUED THAT ITS DELAY IN SEEKING ARBITRATION HAD NOT PREJUDICED THE PLAINTIFF, AND THAT IT WAS ENTITLED TO ARBITRATE. IN MORGAN V. SUNDANCE, INC., 142 S. CT. 1708 (2022), THE SUPREME COURT UNANIMOUSLY VACATED AND REMANDED. IN AN OPINION BY JUSTICE KAGAN, THE COURT HELD THAT PREJUDICE IS NOT A CONDITION FOR FINDING THAT A PARTY, BY LITIGATING TOO LONG, WAIVED ITS RIGHT TO STAY LITIGATION OR COMPEL ARBITRATION. THE SUPREME COURT'S DECISION OVERRULED THE 8TH CIRCUIT AND EIGHT OTHER CIRCUITS THAT HAD EMBRACED ARBITRATION-SPECIFIC WAIVER RULES REQUIRING A SHOWING OF PREJUDICE TO THE NON-WAIVING PARTY. THIS HOLDING MAKES IT EASIER FOR CLAIMANTS TO SHOW THAT A DEFENDANT HAS WAIVED A RIGHT TO COMPEL ARBITRATION BY PARTICIPATING SUBSTANTIALLY IN LITIGATION WITHOUT REGARD TO WHETHER SUCH PARTICIPATION HAS PREJUDICED THE CLAIMANT. ROSEBUD SIOUX TRIBE V. UNITED STATES: TIMOTHY BILLION OF ROBINS KAPLAN LLP IN MINNEAPOLIS, MN LED A PRO BONO EFFORT ON BEHALF OF THE ROSEBUD SIOUX INDIAN TRIBE TO REMEDY HISTORICALLY INADEQUATE HEALTHCARE FOR TRIBE'S MEMBERS AND SECURE QUALITY CARE IN THE FUTURE. HE USED THE INNOVATIVE VEHICLE OF A COMPLAINT FOR A DECLARATORY JUDGMENT THAT THE 1868 TREATY OF FORT LARAMIE, THE SNYDER ACT, THE INDIAN HEALTH CARE IMPROVEMENT ACT (IHCIA), AND FEDERAL COMMON LAW, REQUIRED THE GOVERNMENT TO PROVIDE COMPETENT PHYSICIAN-LED HEALTHCARE TO THE TRIBE AND ITS MEMBERS, AND TO ENSURE THAT THE HEALTH CARE SERVICES PROVIDED DID NOT FALL BELOW HIGHEST POSSIBLE STANDARDS OF PROFESSIONAL CARE. REPRESENTED BY MR. BILLION, THE TRIBE OBTAINED A PARTIAL SUMMARY JUDGMENT IN THE U. S. DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF SOUTH DAKOTA, AND THE GOVERNMENT APPEALED. IN ROSEBUD SIOUX TRIBE V. UNITED STATES, 9 F.4TH 1018 (8TH CIR. 2021), THE U.S. COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE EIGHTH CIRCUIT AFFIRMED THE SUMMARY JUDGMENT IN FAVOR OF THE TRIBE, HOLDING THAT THE UNITED STATES HAD A DUTY TO PROVIDE COMPETENT HEALTH CARE TO THE TRIBE AND ITS MEMBERS, AND THAT THE DUTY TO PROVIDE SUCH "COMPETENT PHYSICIAN-LED HEALTH CARE" WAS SUFFICIENTLY CONCRETE AND SPECIFIC.
