2015 Festival of Legal Learning: Program
Friday Session One
8:00 a.m. - 9:00 a.m.
1-1: Advising and Litigating Residency Cases
Thomas P. Holderness, Robinson, Bradshaw & Hinson
Unless your client puts everything in a moving truck and leaves this state for good, the N.C. Department of Revenue will likely claim
your client is still a North Carolina resident. This session will cover how to advise clients before, during, and throughout a move to
another state. The session also offers practical pointers about how to handle an audit and how to litigate against the Department of
Revenue.
1-2: Challenges for Legal Education in 2015: The New Landscape
John Charles Boger, Dean and Wade Edwards Distinguished Professor of Law, UNC School of Law
This talk will cover the continuing national decline in law school admissions, prompted by sharp increases in tuition at many leading
law schools, the apparent weakness of the legal employment market for young law graduates, and other concerns. It will report on
strategic and tactical choices being made by various legal educators, including adjustment of their admissions strategies, class sizes,
scholarship assistance, faculty sizes, and programs of legal education. It will address some implications of these changes for law
firms and other legal employers who are adjusting to the realities of this new era.
1-3: Cost and Confusedness of the North Carolina System of Pre-Final-Judgment Appeals
Jerry Hartzell, Hartzell & Whiteman
An astonishingly large part of the North Carolina Court of Appeals’ civil caseload concerns the question of whether appeals are
proper “substantial right” interlocutory appeals. The North Carolina courts have developed an idiosyncratic body of appealability
law that affords only limited predictability and generates substantial inefficiencies. Efficiencies could be greatly improved, either
with or without wholesale changes to existing law.
1-4: Four Lawsuits and the Impending Apocalypse of the NCAA
Barbara J. Osborne, Associate Professor, Department of Exercise & Sport Science, UNC-Chapel Hill and Paul J. Batista, Associate Professor,
Department of Health & Kinesiology, Texas A&M University
While college athletics has existed since the late 1800s, there have never been more serious legal threats to the NCAA regulatory
structure than there are today. A trio of antitrust lawsuits and a National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) ruling currently threaten the
core of the NCAA's amateurism principles. This presentation will provide an overview of the O'Bannon, Alston, and Jenkins litigation,
analyze the potential for success, and discuss how these lawsuits win or lose, will likely impact NCAA governance in the future.
Similarly, the NCAA appeal of the Colter NLRB decision will be examined and discussed.
1-5: Fraud, Vulnerability and Aging (Update)
David N. Kirkman, Special Deputy Attorney General, Consumer Protection Division, N.C. Department of Justice
This session will examine the various age-related vulnerabilities that make older consumers major targets of fraud, the latest
techniques that fraud groups have developed to exploit those vulnerabilities and steps attorneys can take to prevent further harm to
their clients and perhaps recoup some of their losses. Recent regulatory changes designed to address the problem will be discussed,
as well.

1-7: Lawyers, Writing, Professionalism, Aging and Retirement
D.G. Martin, Attorney and Host, UNC TV’s North Carolina Bookwatch

professionals as they face retirement.
1-8: Opening the Door: The Desegregation of UNC School of Law
Richard A. Rosen, Professor of Law Emeritus, UNC School of Law
Rosen will lead a discussion about the lengthy struggle during the first half of the twentieth century by African American students
seeking to desegregate UNC School of Law. Topics will include the successful litigation in McKissick v. Carmichael that opened the
doors of the law school to African American and other students of color as well as the difficulties encountered by the first wave of
such students to enroll. This session is the live version form UNC Law Festival 2014 Online.
1-9: Shape of the Coast: Examining Community Resilience in Virginia’s Coastal Zone Through a Social
Vulnerability Index: Lessons for North Carolina
Dr. Carlton H. Hershner, Director of Center for Coastal Resources Management and Professor of Marine Science, Virginia Institute of Marine Science
and Dr. Sarah L. Stafford, Professor of Economics and Director of the Thomas Jefferson Program in Public Policy, College of William & Mary
An interdisciplinary group at the College of William and Mary has been examining social vulnerability and community resilience in
Virginia’s coastal zone. With a goal of informing local government managers, the group has been investigating the construct of social
vulnerability indices (SOVI). The work is investigating various parameters typically included in SOVI and the patterns of vulnerability
detected in coastal Virginia. The work is also attempting to develop a calibration and validation of vulnerability indices by examining
community responses to significant coastal storms.
1-10: Substance Abuse and Deep Insights for Attorneys (SA)
Dr. Thomas P. Britton, Division President, Eating Disorders and Weight Management, CRC Healthcare
This session will encourage participants to explore very deeply their assumptions regarding substance abuse, whether those beliefs
apply in working with clients or in dealing with their own demons. What do you (and the law) understand when we refer to
“substance abuse?” What assumptions do we hold regarding responses to substance abuse and possible interventions (such as 12step programs)? Join us to explore these issues and more.

Friday Session Two
9:10 a.m. - 10:10 a.m.
2-1: Ethical Supervision: Working with Beginners: An Update (PR)
Maria Savasta-Kennedy, Clinical Professor of Law and Director, Externship Program, and Janine M. Zanin, Clinical Assistant Professor of Law and
Faculty Supervisor, Externship Program, UNC School of Law

2-2: Everett et al v. Pitt County Schools: the Future of School Desegregation Litigation
Mark E. Dorosin, Managing Attorney, Center for Civil Rights, UNC School of Law and Elizabeth M. Haddix, Staff Attorney, Center for Civil Rights, UNC
School of Law
Like many southern school districts, Pitt County Schools was placed under a federal court order to desegregate over 40 years ago. In
2008, a new era of litigation began and the school board, parents, activists, the community and ultimately the court had to confront
the viability of the existing orders and of school integration generally. With over 150 school districts in the South still subject to court
order, this case study offers unique and timely insights into the continuing challenges of fulfilling the legacy of Brown and achieving
meaningful school integration.
2-3: Helping Family Firms Navigate Succession
Cooper Smith Biersach, Co-Founder & Director, UNC Kenan-Flagler Business School's Family Enterprise Center and Steve Miller, Co-Founder
and Lecturer of Strategy & Entrepreneurship, UNC Kenan-Flagler Business School's Family Enterprise Center; President, GenSpan, Inc.
Family-controlled businesses are characterized by challenges that threaten their continuity and by distinct core competencies that
can result in unique competitive advantages. The challenges are primarily the result of issues presented by the interaction of family,
management, and ownership – particularly where the family wishes to perpetuate its influence and control from generation to
generation. The vast majority of family-controlled businesses experience difficulty moving from one-person general management to
an institutionalized competence that will allow for success across generations. This session will raise awareness about the
evolutionary stages in the life of a family business and the challenges and opportunities that must be managed at each stage,
including the critical role family culture plays in fostering or inhibiting the development of next-generation family leaders. Attorneys
will leave this session with awareness of key issues and with a list of family business resources to share with clients.
2-4: How to Handle the Intersection of Workers’ Comp, FMLA and the ADA
Patricia W. Goodson, Brooks, Pierce, McLendon, Humphrey & Leonard and Melissa H. Weaver, Brooks, Pierce, McLendon, Humphrey & Leonard
State workers’ compensation laws and federal laws such as the Family Medical Leave Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act
each provide certain protections to employees in the workplace. Each of these laws has different objectives and requirements,
however, and they don’t always play nicely together. Employers are charged with understanding the rules and applying them to the
unique situations of their individual employees. We will explore the requirements of each statute, and provide a framework for
employers to use to apply these laws to their employment practices and policies and to their employee benefits programs.
2-5: Human and Civil Rights in Post-Conflict Rwanda
Thomas A. Kelley III, Paul B. Eaton Distinguished Professor of Law, UNC School of Law
In 1994, Hutu extremists in Rwanda hacked and bludgeoned to death more than a million Tutsis and politically moderate Hutus in
less than one hundred days. Today, the country is stable and prosperous, but its political leaders are criticized for failing to respect
its citizens' human, civil and political rights. Using Rwanda as an example, this session will explore tensions between security and
rights in post-conflict societies.

Friday Session Two
9:10 a.m. - 10:10 a.m.

This session will provide an overview of the licensing requirements specific to the mortgage business in North Carolina, spanning the
life of the mortgage loan from origination to servicing. Discussion will also include substantive provisions that apply to all market
participants, even those exempted from licensure under the Act. Learn more about how North Carolina's SAFE Act might affect your
clients, whether you represent consumers or creditors.
2-7: North Carolina General Assembly: Information for Lawyers That Don't Practice There
Ed Turlington, Brooks, Pierce, McLendon, Humphrey & Leonard and Susan Fetzer Vick, State Governmental Affairs Director, Duke Energy
This session provides details about key actions taken by the 2013-14 sessions of the General Assembly on a variety of topics
including tax reform, health care, the environment, transportation and economic development and previews the agenda for the
2015 session. It seeks to provide useful information to attorneys who need to know what's happening in Raleigh but do not regularly
represent clients at the legislature.
2-8: Trademark Registration and the Role of Counsel
Deborah R. Gerhardt, Assistant Professor of Law, UNC School of Law and Jon P. McClanahan, Clinical Associate Professor and Director of Academic
Success, UNC School of Law
Trademarks are the symbols that embody the story of an organization. Does it make sense to register them? When resources are
scarce, does it make sense for businesses to precede pro se? Do experienced trademark lawyers provide added benefits? Join us to
explore these questions. As an added bonus, you'll see why empirical (evidence-based) research is trending in the legal academy.
2-9: Shape of the Coast: Legal and Policy Issues Associated with Incorporating Social Demographics in
Resiliency Planning
Lisa Schiavinato, N.C. Coastal Resources Law, Planning, and Policy Center and Roy A. Hoagland, Visiting Professor of Practice and Director of Virginia

how to more effectively represent clients in-house.
3-5: Government Sponsored Prayer
William P. Marshall, William Rand Kenan Jr. Distinguished Professor of Law, UNC School of Law
This term the U.S. Supreme Court is revisiting the issue of the constitutionality of legislative prayer in the case of Galloway v. Town
of Greece. It does so against the background of the fact that a broad majority of Americans still support prayer in the public school –

just exactly what is (or is not) problematic about government sponsored prayer – whether in classrooms or in legislatures.

Gene R. Nichol, Boyd Tinsley Distinguished Professor of Law and Director, Center on Poverty, Work & Opportunity, UNC School of Law
Many are surprised that North Carolina has among the highest poverty rates, child poverty rates, hunger rates, child hunger rates,
rates of the uninsured, and income disparity rates in the United States. Recent studies have also found that we are experiencing the
steepest rise in concentrated poverty in the country. Professor Nichol argues that intense poverty, amidst plenty, is North Carolina’s
greatest challenge. But even these statistics are only that – data, dry, bloodless, data. So, in this session, Nichol will attempt to move
beyond the statistics, bad as they are, to put a face on the challenges of poverty in our state. He will claim, as well, that economic

Christopher L. Burti, Vice President and Senior Legal Counsel, Statewide Title
Real estate lawyers must operate in at least two universes. In one, they try to adopt "best practices" in drafting and executing

considered widely in the legal profession as "The Law". In the other universe, they must opine as to the quality of title, reviewing
documents prepared by others and finding that they are not always adroitly prepared. Not surprisingly, they encounter situations in
which their ideas of "best practices" and what they find in title records are at odds. This session will explore common questions
arising in title examinations, such as when spouses must sign conveyances, how purchase money deeds of trust should be handled,
and other topics arising in determining whether a seller has "good title." Come to learn more about when titles may be certified as
acceptable, even when best practices are not observed.

8-10: ‘Without Precedential Value’: When the Justices of the North Carolina Supreme Court Are Equally
Divided
John V. Orth, William Rand Kenan Jr. Professor of Law, UNC School of Law
When the justices of the North Carolina Supreme Court are equally divided, they routinely issue a per curiam order affirming the
decision of the Court of Appeals but stating that it “stands without precedential value.” This remarkable result means that the
decisions in these cases, although affirmed, are not binding on other panels of the Court of Appeals in cases raising the same
issues. After tracing the history of this formula, I argue that the emergence of the Court of Appeals as a precedent-setting court in
the last twenty-five years indicates the need to reconsider the effect of a decision by an equally divided Supreme Court.

Used?
Christine C. Mumma, Executive Director, The N.C. Center on Actual Innocence
The post-conviction criminal process provides for claim review through state and federal appeals and post-conviction motions, so
some may wonder why N.C.'s Innocence Inquiry Commission process was established and what it is about the process that has made
it successful. This session will briefly recount the commission's history and, more importantly, why it has proven to be an essential
addition to North Carolina's justice system.

portions of the President’s climate action plan, relationship of adaptation to disaster management and to the Coastal Zone
Management Act, and various state responses to climate change. This hour will also consider the particular impact of climate
change on the poor and minorities and explore the environmental justice implications of climate change adaptation.
