July 9, 2010 (12:00 noon ET)

Mixed Signals? The United States Supreme Court Rules in Quon that Employers Can Review "Personal" Text Messages, while one State's Supreme Court Enforces Limits on such Reviews—What Does This Mean for the Corporate Workplace?
July 15, 2010 (1:00 PM ET)
For years, employers took for granted that it is legal to monitor an employee's every keystroke on work-issued computers, phones and PDAs. With the recent surge in employee privacy claims, some state and federal courts have sided with the employee, particularly where the electronic activity involves personal, rather than business-related, matters. Join Heather Egan Sussman and Stephen Erf, partners at McDermott Will & Emery LLP, who explain the recent developments in the legal framework for this privacy debate and what it means for the American workplace, particularly in light of the Supreme Court's decision in City of Ontario v. Quon, in which the Court unanimously ruled that the employer could lawfully review personal messages sent on work pagers, and the New Jersey Supreme Court in Stengart, in which the Court held that an employer improperly accessed an employee’s private email messages.

The Supreme Court and Honest Services: Does the Skilling Decision Provide any Clarity or Fair Notice of What is Prohibited?
July 22, 2010 (12:00 noon ET)
The Supreme Court held in Skilling v. U.S. that honest services fraud under Section 1346 is defined by pre-McNally case law on bribes and kickback schemes. Whether this provides any more clarity and notice than before the Court's decision is an open question. Join Tom Gorman of Porter Wright Morris & Arthur LLP and Frank Razzano of Pepper Hamilton LLP for this important program, which analyzes the High Court's honest services decision and explores key questions every practitioner must analyze when representing a client involving an honest services charge.

Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, the Supreme Court handed down a series of decisions this past term impacting securities litigation.
