Registration is now open for the Third Circuit judicial conference, April 19 to 21 in Lancaster PA. The link to register is here.

The conference agenda also is out, link here. The keynote speaker will be Michael Chertoff, while Justice Alito will be back again to present the American Inns of Court Professionalism Award. Other highlights on the program include sessions on implicit bias, technology and rights (including Judge Hardiman and Orin Kerr), class actions (with a star-studded panel), and much more.

I’m particularly looking forward to the closing session, presented by the Third Circuit Bar Association, entitled What Attorneys Hope Judges Know and Vice Versa. The moderator is David Fine, and the panel is Judge Shwartz, District Judges Jones and Mannion, and top practitioners Charles Becker, Lisa Freeland, Dennis Suplee, and James Wade.

Early-bird registration is $425 for attorneys. After February 15 it goes up to $495, so tarry not!
