Our very own No Man, Mike Navarre of Steptoe & Johnson LLP, will be moderating an ABA teleconference and webcast CLE program called “Criminal Accountability for Civilians in the Battle Space” on 19 March from noon to 1330 EDT. Here’s a link to information about the program. Among Mike’s panelists will be Bob Reed of DOD OGC.

Should we start a pool on when the No Man will moderate an ABA CLE program on Apprendi?

In this week dominated by CAAF’s Judicial Conference, it seems appropriate to talk about CLE. On 18 March, Chief Judge O’Toole of NMCCA will be speaking to the Judge Advocates Association American Inn of Court. His topic is “Trial Preparation by Reverse Engineering.” Information should be available here. (In case that link isn’t working, the program announcement is also posted here.)

On 8 April, the Deputy Judge Advocate General of the Army, Major General Daniel V. Wright, will be speaking to the Inn. His topic will be “Civility and Professionalism in the Courts.”

Speaking of CLE, there’s an ALI-ABA program coming up in Philly on 23 April that sounds interesting: Trials of the Century, featuring analysis of the O.J. case, the Scopes Monkey Trial, the Lindbergh kidnapping trial, Nuremberg, Clarence Darrow’s L.A. Times bombing trial, and the Clinton impeachment.

I don’t think I can justify taking the time away from work to go. On the other hand, I could train up and back in the same day and it is within walking distance of Morimoto–one of the Kabul Klipper’s favorite restaurants . . . .

CAAF updated its web site’s Judicial Conference page today by revealing the identity of Senior Administration Official #1 and Senior Administration Official #2. The lead off speaker will be DOD Principal Deputy General Counsel Dan Dell’Orto. The second speaker will be Amy Jeffress, Counselor to the Attorney General of the United States.

Sorry, but that means no winner in our latest CAAFlog contest.

CAAF updated its Judicial Conference program page today, adding details about a couple of the lectures.

Judge Tatel’s presentation is called, “Practice Before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia.”

Judge Downey’s presentation is called, “Lessons on a Second Career Spent in Trial Court.”

And it looks like Professor Harris’s presentation on racial profiling swapped times with the panel on Afghanistan rule of law.

An updated CAAF Judicial Conference schedule is now available here. The new schedule fills in the first day’s 1530-1700 slot, previous listed as invitation pending, with Professor David A. Harris of the University of Pittsburgh School of Law delivering a lecture called, “Racial Profiling in Law Enforcement and National Security: The Right Thing at the Right Time?”

CAAF has posted its Judicial Conference schedule. Here’s a link. But three of the blocks on the first day remain either unfilled or veiled (in a couple of instances, it isn’t clear which).

Here’s the CAAFlog contest:

The first person to correctly guess the identities of Senior Administration Official No. 1 and Senior Administration Official No. 2 wins a CAAFlog t-shirt. Please post your entries below.

NIMJ has asked me to post a link to the schedule for its 23 January conference on military commission jurisprudence to be held at AU’s Washington College of Law. I’m happy to do so but, sorry F.T. Cat, Esq., despite your overly generous remarks, I’m not going to blog about commissions. :-)
