The Push to Institutionalize Prevention: We Win, We Lose
Changing our activities and our eating, taking pills and potions, trying to improve a condition or its symptoms—all this is as old as humankind. But the benign face of prevention—often found in the doctor who knows the patient as a person—has changed as health care has evolved, becoming a growing business of recommendations for screens and tests. The trigger that sets this process in motion in an individual case is often the patient’s chronological age or chemistry, the latter revealed when some other condition warrants general screening. The result for many people can be overtreatment, opening a patient to the potential for invasive, lifelong side effects. Register now.

On the Issues with Mike Gousha: Wendy Selig-Prieb
During her tenure, Selig-Prieb was the only female President and Chairman of a Major League Baseball Club.

During her tenure, Selig-Prieb oversaw the transition from County Stadium to Miller Park and led the process which resulted in the sale of the team to current owner Mark Attanasio in 2005. Since leaving baseball, Selig-Prieb has started her own successful business and is an advocate for the welfare of women and children.

Instant Replay in the NFL as an Appellate Review Process CLE
It is common to draw analogies between sports and the legal process, with the most famous recent example being Chief Justice Roberts’s likening the judicial role to that of a baseball umpire. This presentation will explore another such analogy: that of instant replay in the NFL to appellate review. The comparison not only helps to illuminate some of the features of appellate review, but also allows for consideration of the appropriateness of an analogy that is likely to be made more frequently by judges and advocates alike as video evidence becomes more prevalent.
