Lectures include:
How Uber Has Caused Major Changes to Transportation, the Law, and Society
Please join attorney and law professor Henry Webb for an interactive, one-hour discussion of the impact Uber has made since its inception in 2009. We’ll discuss how Uber has changed the transportation industry, the law, and society — and what the future holds as self-driving cars become more of a reality.
Legal Analysis for Non-Lawyers
Please join attorney and law professor Henry Webb for an interactive, one-hour discussion of the “IRAC” method of legal analysis. IRAC, which stands for Issue, Rule, Application, Conclusion, is the method most lawyers use to analyze complicated legal issues. Using a hypothetical fact pattern involving a client charged with a crime, Professor Webb will demonstrate how to use the IRAC method, including the application of a criminal statute and relevant case law, to determine the likely outcome of the client’s case. Together with Professor Webb, you will then use the IRAC method to analyze a significant case that is currently in the news. If you’ve ever been curious about how lawyers analyze cases in the real world, this will be an informative and entertaining discussion for you.
Living and Working Abroad: Cultural Challenges and Opportunities
The People vs. O.J. Simpson
Please join attorney and law professor Henry Webb for an interactive, one-hour discussion of two legal cases involving former football great O.J. Simpson: the criminal prosecution of Simpson for the murders of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend, Ronald Goldman, and the wrongful death lawsuit filed against Simpson by their families. If you’ve ever wondered how Simpson was found not guilty of double homicide in the criminal trial, but legally responsible for their wrongful deaths in the civil trial, this lecture is for you.
What Happens When Your Client is the Bad Guy?
Please join attorney and law professor Henry Webb for an interactive, one-hour discussion of one of the most interesting cases Professor Webb worked on during his nearly ten years in private practice as an environmental attorney. Professor Webb will describe how, after spending two years representing a client in a case with over $6 million in dispute, he discovered that his own client had committed a serious crime in connection with the case – forcing Professor Webb and his law firm to withdraw as counsel on the eve of trial. The way the story unfolds, and especially the aftermath, will surprise you.
