Event | 11.04.15, 8:00 AM EST - 12:00 PM EST

Address

PLI New York Center
1177 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY

The Practising Law Institute is holding a seminar regarding electronic information in criminal investigations and prosecutions on November 4.


Electronic information pervades our society. Not surprisingly, electronic information may be central to the investigation of criminal activity and to the prosecution and defense of that activity. The “use” of electronic information in criminal investigations and proceedings lead to many questions. Under what circumstances are search warrants required for electronic devices and information? How does the right against self-incrimination arise with regard to devices and information? How should discovery of electronic information be conducted? What are the limits of cooperation between prosecutors and defense counsel? How might electronic information be admitted at trial?


The faculty, which includes judges, prosecutors and defense counsel experienced in criminal investigations and proceedings, will answer these questions as they address the cutting edge issues surrounding electronic information in the investigation, prosecution and defense of crimes.


Nimi Aviad is a speaker at this event. His topic: "Fourth Amendment Issues in Criminal Investigations."

Has the Buss Stopped? Recoupment Today

Has the Buss Stopped? Recoupment Today: In 1997, the California Supreme Court decided Buss v. Superior Court. In Buss, the court concluded that a liability insurer that defended a mixed action could seek reimbursement from the insured for the defense costs associated with the claims that were not even potentially covered. Since then, numerous courts have held that insurers are entitled to recoup their defense costs associated with uncovered claims or causes of action. On the other hand, a significant number of courts have rejected insurers’ right to recoupment, at least in the absence of a policy provision granting the insurer that right. Some commentators have even suggested that the current judicial trend might be away from permitting insurers to recoup their defense costs. Is that correct? Has the Buss stopped? This panel of coverage experts will analyze insurers’ claimed right to recoupment today, and offer their perspectives on what the law on recoupment should perhaps be and might be in the future.
