Michael Fisher Dec. 12, 2015 President of the American Bar Association U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit VIBA Party Begins: 5 PM The Parade Starts: 6 PM Friends and Family Welcome!!! 2015 ANNUAL MEETING Celebrating The Past, Embracing The Present, Shaping The Future “The Future of the Legal Profession suggests many questions of importance. Every year adds a multitude of young lawyers to the ranks of the profession. What are they to do? The sources of controversy incident to a new country are gradually being exhausted, and except in the great commercial centers, litigation is relatively decreasing. What is there to take its place as an occupation for members of the bar? The application of legal learning and judgment to active business. The example set by railroad companies will be largely followed, and all the great business interests of the people will come more and more under the guidance and protection of the legal profession. . . . [R]elieved from the pressure of unjust suits, the courts will be able again to investigate and decide the merits of controversies with the patience, learning, zeal and thoroughness, which in the first generation of the republic won for American jurisprudence the glory of a world-wide recognition.” C.C. Bonney, President, Illinois State Bar Association (remarks from the ISBA Annual Meeting, Jan. 4, 1883) “In considering the future lawyer, it is necessary to start with the lawyer of the past and the present.” “The most dangerous phrase in the language is we have always done it this way.” F.D.G. Ribble, President-Elect, Grace Murray Hopper American Association of Law Schools (Temple Law Quarterly, July 1950) Rear Admiral, United States Navy “Imagine a land in which the only legal codes have been repeatedly amended for many years, but no compilation has been made of the amendments. Imagine, moreover, that there is no system for recording legal decisions, so that lawyers must rely on their own briefs and records for precedents. This is not ancient Etruria or Samarkand under Tamerlane—this was the situation in the Virgin Islands, a territory of the United States of America as recently as 1957.” John D. Merwin, Virgin Islands Governor (ABA Journal, August 1961) 1 2015 ANNUAL MEETING Celebrating The Past, Embracing The Present, Shaping The Future NOTE: While this schedule and the program descriptions that follow are provided as a convenience for our members, it is not the final program, and content, credit allocation, venue, and start/end times may change.

This panel will explore recent decisions issued by the Third Circuit in the past year that impact federal practice in the U.S. Virgin Islands, including litigation in the District Court of the Virgin Islands and appeals taken to the Third Circuit. Additionally, the panelists will provide an overview of the amendments to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure that are expected to go into effect on December 1, 2015, including those related to service of process and discovery. If time permits, the panelists may also discuss other issues relevant to Virgin Islands practitioners or pertaining to the administration of justice in the Third Judicial Circuit and the federal judiciary. Featured Presenter: D. Michael Fisher, Judge, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit Other Presenters To Be Announced. Past is Prologue: Applying Today’s Ethics Rules to Tomorrow’s Law Practice Approved for 1.0 CLE Credits (incl. 1.0 Ethics) In Shakespeare’s play The Tempest, a character uses the phrase “What’s past is prologue” to suggest that all that has happened before, the “past,” provided him and his co-conspirator with the opportunity to do what they are about to do: commit murder. In essence, the character is telling the audience that he has no control over his fate since the past has dictated his future. Few attorneys will deliberately seek to violate the rules of professional conduct and other applicable ethical rules. However, courts, bar associations, and other regulators of the legal profession cannot keep pace with changing technology. Because amending the ethics rules to address new technologies or practices before they become adopted is a perpetually-losing battle, lawyers—especially those who must market their small or solo firms—must often guess how ethics rules that were written in another time and for other situations will be interpreted with respect to a future development. The panelists will discuss the best practices that lawyers should apply to avoid the fate of being deemed unethical in the future for judgment-calls made today. Featured Presenter: Brendon P. Levesque, Partner, Horton Shields & Knox, P.C. Other Presenters To Be Announced. 3 2015 ANNUAL MEETING Celebrating The Past, Embracing The Present, Shaping The Future Ineffective Assistance: Ethically Defending Yesterday’s Conduct Tomorrow Approved for 0.5 CLE Credits (incl. 0.5 Ethics) Although the federal habeas corpus statute places strict time constraints on when a convicted criminal defendant may petition for a writ of habeas corpus, the Virgin Islands habeas corpus statute has no limitations period. And unless the defendant has been found to have abused the habeas corpus statute, there is no prohibition on successive habeas corpus petitions in the local court system. As such, a convicted defendant may challenge his conviction on ineffective assistance of counsel grounds literally decades later, even if an ineffective assistance of counsel claim had been rejected on the merits in a prior proceeding. After providing a brief overview of Virgin Islands habeas corpus law, the panelists will discuss how to ethically defend oneself against an ineffective assistance of counsel claim, as well as outline an attorney’s record retention obligations under the Virgin Islands Rules of Professional Conduct. Time permitting, the panel will discuss the impact a pending ineffective assistance claim may have on a potential attorney discipline proceeding or malpractice suit. Featured Presenter: Brendon P. Levesque, Partner, Horton Shields & Knox, P.C. Other Presenters To Be Announced. Banks to the Future: The New Frontiers of the Common Law Approved for 1.5 CLE Credits In its seminal decision in Banks v Int’l Rental & Leasing Corp., 55 V.I. 967 (V.I. 2011), and its progeny, the Supreme Court of the Virgin Islands held that the Legislature had implicitly repealed 1 V.I.C. § 4 and that the Virgin Islands Judiciary possessed the power to shape Virgin Islands common law without deferring to the Restatements of Law. While subsequent case law has provided clarity on how to conduct a Banks analysis, many issues remain unresolved. For example, what are a plaintiff’s pleading obligations when asserting a cause of action that has not yet been recognized in the U.S. Virgin Islands? How should discovery proceed (if at all) if the parties disagree on the elements of a cause of action? The panelists will discuss and debate these and other “advanced” issues arising from the Banks decision. Featured Presenter: Kristen David Adams, Professor, Stetson University College of Law Other Presenters To Be Announced. 4 2015 ANNUAL MEETING Celebrating The Past, Embracing The Present, Shaping The Future The Future of the Legal Profession in the U.S. Virgin Islands Approved for 1.5 CLE Credits (incl. 0.5 Ethics) In the past six months, the Supreme Court of the Virgin Islands has promulgated several new rules affecting the legal profession in the U.S. Virgin Islands. New bar admissions classes have been established for in-house counsel, foreign legal consultants, and legal interns. Special admission has been extended to military spouses. Most recently, the Virgin Islands Supreme Court announced that effective with the July 2016 administration, the Virgin Islands Bar Examination will not test any U.S. Virgin Islands law. Instead, it will consist solely of uniform tests administered by the National Conference of Bar Examiners (NCBE): the Multistate Bar Examination (MBE), the Multistate Essay Examination (MEE), the Multistate Performance Test (MPT), and the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination (MPRE). The U.S. Virgin Islands is not alone in implementing significant changes to the practice of law. The Supreme Court of Washington approved a new rule allowing non-lawyers to become licensed as “Limited License Legal Technicians” to advise and assist people going through divorce, child-custody, and other family-law matters. Sixteen states, including New York, have abolished their local bar exams and adopted the Uniform Bar Examination (UBE), which offers portability of scores across state lines. The United Kingdom has eliminated its ban on law firm ownership by non-lawyers, and in May 2015 a mid-sized firm announced its intent to go public. During the 2014-15 Bar Year, the American Bar Association established a Commission on the Future of Legal Services. This Commission has been tasked, among other things, to “propose new approaches that are not constrained by traditional models for delivering legal services,” and is currently drafting a policy resolution “which recommends that each state’s highest court, and those of each territory or tribe, use clearly identified regulatory objectives to help (1) assess the court’s existing regulatory framework and (2) identify and implement regulatory innovations related to legal services beyond the traditional regulation of the legal profession.” This panel will provide an overview of the changes that the Virgin Islands Supreme Court has already implemented and those that are under consideration in other jurisdictions and by the ABA Commission. The panelists will debate what the future of the practice of law should look like, and whether the U.S. Virgin Islands should join the national consensus or take its own path. Featured Presenter: Dana M. Hrelic Ciolli, ABA Commission on the Future of Legal Services Other Presenters To Be Announced. 5 2015 ANNUAL MEETING Celebrating The Past, Embracing The Present, Shaping The Future Keeping Current: V.I. Supreme Court and V.I. Legislature Year-in-Review Approved for 1.0 CLE Credits Over the past year, the Supreme Court of the Virgin Islands has issued several important decisions of interest to members of the Virgin Islands Bar. For example, our Supreme Court has redefined the test and burden of proof for a claim under the Wrongful Discharge Act, established a different standard for obtaining a preliminary injunction, questioned the validity of Superior Court Rule 7, and considered whether failure to solemnize renders a marriage void. The 31st Legislature has also changed Virgin Islands law during this period. Amongst other things, our Legislature has made significant changes to the Virgin Islands expungement statute, established civil remedies for stalking victims, expanded the Territory’s “Good Samaritan” law, and allowed for sentence reductions for completion of training while imprisoned. This panel will provide a black-letter overview of the most notable appellate precedents and enacted legislation over the last year. If time permits, the panelists will also provide a preview of forthcoming oral arguments and proposed bills that may affect the practice of law. Featured Presenter: Dwyer Arce, Senior Law Clerk, V.I. Supreme Court Other Presenters To Be Announced. Witnesses to History: The Evolution of Virgin Islands Law Approved for 1.0 CLE Credits Legal practice in the U.S. Virgin Islands has evolved over the past several decades, sometimes gradually, and other times in seismic shifts. While these changes may be academic to newer attorneys, these panelists—who all have earned the title of deans of the Virgin Islands Bar— lived through these changes. During this capstone panel, these esteemed attorneys and jurists will draw on their experience practicing law in the U.S. Virgin Islands in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s, and reflect on how far we have come and where we are headed as a profession. Featured Presenters: Britain H. Bryant, Virgin Islands Bar Member since 1965 Thomas Alkon, Virgin Islands Bar Member since 1969 Vincent Colianni, Virgin Islands Bar Member since 1969 Jim Hymes, Virgin Islands Bar Member since 1969 Ellen Donovan, Virgin Islands Bar Member since 1971 Other Presenters To Be Announced. 6 2015 ANNUAL MEETING Celebrating The Past, Embracing The Present, Shaping The Future Keynote Address: Paulette Brown, ABA President Approved for 0.5 CLE Credits Paulette Brown, Partner and co-chair of the firmwide Diversity & Inclusion Committee at Locke Lord LLP, is the first African-American woman president of the American Bar Association. She has been a member of the ABA House of Delegates since 1997 and is a former member of the ABA Board of Governors and its Executive Committee as well as the Governance Commission. While serving on the Board of Governors, Brown chaired the Program, Planning and Evaluation Committee. She has served on the Commission on Women in the Profession and was a co-author of "Visible Invisibility: Women of Color in Law Firms.” She also chaired the ABA Council on Racial and Ethnic Justice and is a past co-chair of the Commission on Civic Education in our Nation's Schools. Brown served on the Section of Legal Education’s Council on Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar and its Executive Committee. In 1993-94, she served as President of the National Bar Association and received its highest honor, The C. Francis Stradford Award, in 2015. Brown has held many positions throughout her career, including as in-house counsel to a number of Fortune 500 companies and as a municipal court judge. In private practice, she has focused on all facets of labor and employment and commercial litigation. Among many other honors, she has been recognized by the National Law Journal as one of “The 50 Most Influential Minority Lawyers in America” and by the New Jersey Law Journal as one of the “prominent women and minority attorneys in the State of New Jersey.” She has received the New Jersey Medal from the New Jersey State Bar Foundation and currently serves on its Board of Trustees. Brown earned her J.D. at Seton Hall University School of Law and her B.A. at Howard University. 7 2015 ANNUAL MEETING Celebrating The Past, Embracing The Present, Shaping The Future Come For the Annual Meeting, Stay For the Weekend!

Please be advised, however, that each jurisdiction serves as the final arbiter of its own CLE rules, and thus all attorneys possess a duty to independently determine whether a Virgin Islands Bar Association program satisfies the CLE requirements of a particular jurisdiction. If you have any questions or believe any information in this document is incorrect or has become outdated, please contact Hinda Carbon, the Executive Director of the Virgin Islands Bar Association, at [email protected], who will promptly forward your inquiry to the VIBA’s CLE Committee.
