    WHOSE FAULT IS IT THAT I DIDN'T KNOW IT WASN'T YOU? HOW TO REPRESENT YOUR CLIENT IN A CYBER AUTHENTICATION CASE

    By Joseph Burton, John M. Facciola, Hoyt L. Kesterson II.

    In a 48-hour period in November 2009, PlainsCapital Bank transferred over $800,000 from the account of Hillary Machinery to a number of international and U.S. accounts. The problem was that Hillary had not initiated those transfers. In December of that year the bank sued Hillary. The bank sought a judicial declaratory judgment that its security procedures were commercially reasonable and that it had not breached its obligations. Hillary had demanded that the bank cover the lost funds, claiming that the bank's security was not commercially reasonable, and the bank preemptively sued to get a judicial authority to rule that its security procedures were reasonable, thereby forestalling any legal action by Hillary.

    During a subsequent discussion of and mock hearing patterned after Plains Capital Bank v. Hillary Machinery, U.S. Magistrate Judge John Facciola of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, Joseph Burton, a practicing attorney and partner at Duane Morris, and Hoyt Kesterson, a senior consultant at Terra Verde Services, assessed the arguments made in the hearing to determine which were effective and which were not, and what arguments could have been made but were not. This course will cover those points and current legal disputes, e.g. Experi-Metal v Comerica. It's clear that this type of hacker attack is increasing in frequency and that some of them will cause a legal dispute.

    Attorneys will learn how best to conduct themselves when representing any of the parties in a dispute where cyber authentication mechanisms are at the heart.

    In particular, this course will answer the following questions:
  • Is it reasonable to ask a court to decide if the security procedures deployed by an enterprise are commercially reasonable?
  • How does one describe those security procedures so that the court can understand what they do and what they don't do?
  • How does one select, prepare, and examine an expert to help the judge and jury to understand the events that took place?
  • Parol evidence or not-can an expert successfully criticize security procedures that are described as commercially reasonable in a contract?
  • Can parties avoid this type of dispute by agreeing to a clear statement of the duties and obligations of each party in a cyber authentication process?

    ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION

    Dealing with the Australian court system often means having to endure protracted and expensive procedures and as a result alternative means of resolving disputes are increasingly important - not just to ensure that disputes are settled fairly and justly, but to also relieve pressure on the court system. Aimed at senior level students of legal studies, this program outlines a range of alternative dispute resolutions, how they work, their suitability for different situations and their effectiveness. Mediation, negotiation, arbitration and collaborative approaches to law are examined in detail as alternative means of resolving disputes, and a range of areas where disputes commonly surface are explored - including family, workplace, and property and consumer affairs. Lawyer, Catherine Gale, offers a variety of expert comments on various aspects covered. This program is a perfect introduction to the nature and mechanisms of alternative dispute resolution accessible to people every day, and would also be suitable for teachers of SOSE, Ethics and English Issues who are exploring the broader areas of social justice and equity in society.

    GOVERNMENT AND LAW MAKING

    Australia's governance and law making system is the bedrock of our society. Fairness, equality and justice are the pillars on which our thriving, complex modern life is based. But how did we arrive at this enviable situation? And how does our system actually work on different levels? This informative program gives a fantastic overview of the role of the Commonwealth Constitution in establishing the Federal parliament and the way powers are divided. We examine our three levels of government, how they work together and separately to create laws, and the structure and role of the Australian parliamentary system. Following a step-by-step passage of a bill through both houses of parliament at a federal and state level, it is a practical and clear explanation of this most important legal function. It also illustrates why and how local governments create law.

    INTRODUCTION TO CRIMINAL AND CIVIL LAW, AN

    What are the differences between criminal and civil law, and how do we decide whether a situation is part of criminal law or civil law or both?

The program examines civil law and its purpose in society while looking also at the two major branches of civil law, Law of Torts and Law of Contract.
