A distinguished panel of decision-makers and practitioners regularly involved in attorney and judicial discipline and regulation will offer insight into the processes and the evaluation of complaints, as well as practical advice in responding to the near-inevitable grievance think of this as a life-preserver.

Highly specialized legal procedures have evolved over 8 P a g e the years in resolving disputes over construction defects. Touching on all of them is well beyond the scope of this or any other two-hour program, but we hope to provide guidance on some of the most important fundamental issues that one might expect to confront in construction defect litigation arising out of residential housing projects. Legal experts will address problems and describe solution strategies arising in the context of the construction of a new residence in Maryland in which substantial water intrusion and mold damages are discovered long after the completion of construction. Problems will be examined from the perspectives of the Owner, General Contractor, Engineering and Design Professionals, and Sub-Contractors in relevant trades. Litigation issues will include identification and targeting of defendants; statutes of limitation and repose; causes of action and theories of recovery; use of experts; contractual obligations; insurance coverage; and mediation and settlement considerations. Throughout the program, attention will be paid to the cost-benefit analysis required in residential construction defect litigation, in that the relatively small amount in controversy may require that only the most promising factual and legal issues will be actively litigated. Judge Diane Leasure (Ret.); Robert Kelly, Jackson & Campbell, P.C.; Gregory Koger, Holland & Knight, LLP; Michael Skojec, Ballard Spahr LLP. Anthony Vittoria, Esq., The Vittoria Law Firm Construction Law Section Robert Kelly, Esq.

9 9 P a g e THURSDAY, JUNE 16, 2016 developed a Watershed Implementation Plan (WIP) for meeting those limits. In compliance with the WIP, Maryland has passed several regulations and permitting requirements that affect municipalities, private entities, and the public. Some of these permits concern stormwater runoff. This program is designed to inform the local government or small firm practitioner of these new requirements and how they can assist their clients in securing the required permit(s).

McDonald, Maryland Court of Appeals; William C. Brennan, Esq., Brennan Mckenna Manzi Shay, Chtd.; Lydia E. Lawless, Esq., Assistant Bar Counsel; Timothy F. Maloney, Esq., Joseph, Greenwald & Laake, PA. Part II: 12:30 p.m. 1:30 p.m. There are many instances in the jurisprudence regarding lawyers ethical responsibilities where the Court of Appeals sanctioned attorneys for conduct that appeared to take place other than in the traditional arena of the practice of law some situations seeming intuitive, and others perhaps counter-intuitive. This panel will stakeout the terrain with exemplars and peer into yet unexplored dark corners. Judge Glenn T. Harrell, Jr. (Ret.), The Platt Group, Inc.; Thomas E. Lynch, III, Miles & Stockbridge P.C.; Patricia M. Weaver, Esq., Paley Rothman; Robert J. Zarbin, Esq., The Zarbin Law Firm Wayne M. Willoughby, Esq., Gershon, Willoughby, Getz & Smith, LLC Wayne M.

The panel will discuss ways to maintain the highest quality legal services while using technologies as a multiplier to drive down client costs. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn how law firms and legal departments are using technology-based tools to address client needs and explore how these approaches enhance the effectiveness of law practice. The session will cover existing technologies used by law firms to effectively utilize attorney time; and the panel will offer a glimpse into the future of legal technologies, raising the question: what will the attorney s role be in ten years with MDEC, automation, and algorithms? We will explore the changes to the Rules as well as some of the ethical issues that technology has created, which may not have existed just a decade ago, including the ethical requirement to become or remain competent in new technology in order to represent your clients effectively.

This break-out session is a multi-part program intended to help Maryland business lawyers (both transactional and trial) keep up-todate with the many exciting changes underway in an effort to make Maryland a more business friendly jurisdiction. The program will begin

12 FRIDAY, JUNE 17, 2016 with breakfast and a brief MSBA Business Law Section Meeting. The breakfast will be followed by a presentation and Q&A on hot topics and new business legislation coming out of the 2016 legislative session. The program will continue with a presentation by the Maryland State Department of Assessments and Taxation on the New SDAT and SDAT s remarkable efforts over the past year to modernize its on-line portal, to be more customer focused and to make Maryland a great place to do business.

Shapiro, Esq. Conference Room #1 8:00 a.m. 10:30 a.m. BANKRUPTCY AND STATE COURT PROCEEDINGS - AM I STAYED OR CAN I GO? Virtually all state court proceedings are potentially impacted by the automatic stay in bankruptcy immediately upon the filing of the bankruptcy case. Particular emphasis will be placed on domestic relations cases and certain criminal cases which can be the most confusing - it is common for some portions of the same litigation to be stayed while other portions of the same litigation may proceed without interruption. Additional topics of discussion are the (1) impact of the subsequent bankruptcy discharge injunction and, (2) the difference between prepetition debt and post petition debt and the bankruptcy impact on state law causes of action grounded in each type of debt. Our panel will guide you through this often complex and little-understood area of the law to enable you to better understand the issues involved and how they should be handled to lessen the disruption caused to the progress and efficiency of state court litigation.
