Cybersecurity -- Information Sharing, Privacy, Regulation, and Reason
International & National Security Law Practice Group Teleforum
May 8, 2013
Cyber threats were the first identified Global Threat in the US Intelligence Community Worldwide Threat Assessment issued in March 2013. Many Cybersecurity proposals feature information sharing and enhanced regulation of critical infrastructure industries as the best measures to prevent and mitigate cyber attacks. Can information sharing improve security while protecting privacy? Can regulatory measures help, without imposing excessive burdens on business?

New "Persuader" Rule: A Threat to Lawyers and Clients?
Labor & Employment Law Practice Group Teleforum
May 6, 2013
A little-known labor law, enacted more than half a century ago, may soon be reinterpreted by the Obama Administration in an attempt to bolster union organizing. The statute requires consultants known as “persuaders” to disclose to the government their clients, services provided, and legal fees. For more than 50 years, lawyers who advised clients about employee communications, but did not communicate directly with employees, were not persuaders. But now, under a new interpretation of “advice,” lawyers will be persuaders if they “draft, revise or provide” employee communications with a persuasive objective. And the scope of required disclosure will be vastly expanded to encompass all “protected concerted activity.” A law firm will be required to make full disclosure to the federal government on every one of its labor and employment law clients, even if they do not receive persuader services. If a firm fails to comply, its top officers will face severe criminal penalties — a year in jail and a $10,000 fine.

The Boston Terrorist Attack and Strategic Intelligence
International & National Security Law Practice Group
May 2, 2013
Because the surviving Boston bomber, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, is a U.S. citizen, trial before a military commission is not available under the Military Commissions Act. Indefinite detention as an enemy combatant was an option, but that appears to have been taken off the table by the Obama Administration. So the question is the extent and value of Miranda-free interrogation. Was Mr. Tsarnaev read his Miranda rights prematurely? And what should or could the FBI and rest of intelligence community have done in advance of the attack, if anything, to monitor or surveil the deceased suspect, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, in view of the request from Russia and the the elder Tsarnaev brother’s 2012 return trip?
