Its biggest impact, however, may be on future energy and ocean policies. In this panel, experts from government, business, and the Law School will discuss how the Deep Horizon accident may affect issues ranging from offshore oil exploration to renewable energy to climate change to ocean protection.

Friday, October 22 3:15 p.m. to 4:15 p.m. Classes without Quizzes Stanford Law School Take a class in the law school’s state-of-the-art classroom building. Immerse yourself in a favorite topic taught by one of Stanford Law School’s renowned professors, and relax—there won’t be a quiz. Additional courses will be available across the Stanford campus. Estate Planning in Uncertain Times Room 290, Stanford Law School, 1 general MCLE credit offered The estate tax does not exist in 2010 unless Congress retroactively restores it. If Congress does nothing, the estate tax will return in 2011 with a $1 million exemption. Will Congress finally pass a more sensible approach to estate and gift taxes? If so, what is it likely to be? How should one arrange estate affairs under these circumstances? B. Howard Pearson, BS ’76, Development Legal Counsel and Senior Philanthropic Advisor, Stanford University Office of Development, and Lecturer in Law, teaches estate planning and will lead this information session on estate planning techniques and the scheduled changes (and likely future additional changes) to tax laws affecting gifts and estates. The Beauty Bias: The Injustice of Appearance in Life and Law, Professor Deborah Rhode Room 190, Stanford Law School “It hurts to be beautiful" has been a cliché for centuries. What has been far less appreciated is how much it hurts not to be beautiful. The Beauty Bias explores our cultural preoccupation with attractiveness, the costs it imposes, and the responses it demands. Deborah L. Rhode, Ernest W. McFarland Professor of Law and Director, Stanford Center on the Legal Profession, explores the social, biological, market, and media forces that have contributed to appearance-related problems, as well as feminism's difficulties in confronting them. Appearance-related bias infringes fundamental rights, compromises merit principles, reinforces debilitating stereotypes, and compounds the disadvantages of race, class, and gender. Barriers to Conflict Resolution: The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Room 180, Stanford Law School For many outside observers, it is not difficult to imagine a settlement to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that would make not just one side to the conflict, but both sides, better off than they are in their current state of struggle. Indeed, there even seems to be considerable agreement among observers about the outlines of such a settlement. Yet the parties to the conflict themselves have been unable to reach agreement. What explains the inability of the parties to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to reach a solution that would improve their conditions? Allen S. Weiner '89, Senior Lecturer in Law and Co-Director of the Stanford Center on International Conflict and Negotiation teaches international conflict resolution and will lead this session on multidisciplinary approaches to understanding barriers to conflict resolution. Understanding the Recent Financial Crisis Room 201, Hewlett Teaching Center, Stanford University Keith Hennessey, BAS ’90, research fellow at the Hoover Institution and lecturer at the Graduate School of Business and Law School, talks about his experiences in the Bush White House during the recent financial crisis. We’ll examine what caused the crisis and how it unfolded - what worked well, and what mistakes did policymakers make? What were the insider discussions that led to the $700 billion TARP bailouts? Will the new financial law prevent this from ever happening again, or are we still at risk of too-big-to-fail? |

Roundtable at Stanford University - Generation Ageless: Longevity and the Boomers |
|
Saturday, October 23 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Roundtable at Stanford University - Generation Ageless: Longevity and the Boomers Maples Pavilion, Stanford University (Doors open at 8:15 a.m., doors close at 9:15 a.m.) Most babies born today will live to be 100. What does this mean for us as a nation and as inhabitants of a planet with limited resources? From health care and family dynamics, to career planning and economic growth, the impact will touch every aspect of our lives. And as longer-living individuals help drive world population toward an estimated 9 billion by 2050, our sheer numbers will exert increasing pressure on an already stressed planet and its infrastructures. Adapting to this new reality is one of the greatest challenges of our time. The answers to how to live longer and better will come from research in personalized medicine, stem cell therapy, and advanced technological and nutritional models. Answers to the big societal questions about an aging population are complex indeed. Few issues are as universal and compelling – in the world, and in one’s own life. Join renowned broadcast journalist and 2010 moderator Tom Brokaw and a distinguished panel of leaders for the fifth Roundtable at Stanford University. PANELISTS INCLUDE: |
