SUMMARY:"High School and College Students – Real Journalists\, Real Rights"
DESCRIPTION:High School and College Students:\nReal Journalists\, Real Rights\nLongtime Advocate of Student Journalism\nFrank LoMonte\, Executive Director\nBrechner Center for Freedom of Information\nUniversity of Florida\nto speak at\nDelaware Press Association Special Session\nFREE and Open to the Public\nJoin us for this important presentation and panel discussion.\n\n\nDelaware Law School at Widener University\nRoom #119\n4601 Concord Pike\nWilmington\, Delaware\n\n\nWednesday\, October 30\, 2019\n\n6:30 p.m. Social Gathering and Light Refreshments\n\n7:05 p..m. Address by Frank LoMonte\n\n\n\nPanel discussion with Q & A to follow:\n\n\nFrank LoMonte   •   Rod Smolla   •   Charlisa Edelin\n\n\nFrank LoMonte\, J.D. When he was executive director of the Student Press Law Center in Washington\, D.C.\, LoMonte launched major initiatives\, including “New Voices\,” which has resulted in enactment of fortified legal protections for student journalists in 13 states\, and the “Active Voice” fellowship program for college undergraduates to design “press freedom” service projects. LoMonte has been an investigative journalist and political columnist. Now\, he teaches media and First Amendment law at the University of Florida. His work on behalf of open government and journalists’ rights\, has been recognized with numerous awards\, and the College Media Association offers an annual award in his name to honor special distinction in ethical journalism\n\n\nRod Smolla\, J.D. A nationally-known scholar on matters relating to constitutional law\, civil rights\, freedom of speech\, and mass media\, Smolla is Dean and Professor of Law at the Delaware Law School of Widener University. A prolific author\, his body of work includes many trade and university press books and multi-volume legal treatises. He is editor of the annual First Amendment Law Handbook. He also is an active litigator and has presented oral argument in state and federal courts across the country\, including the Supreme Court of the United States.\n\n\n\n\nCharlisa Edelin\, J.D. Associate Professor and Co-Director\, Law Studies Program\, Department of Mass Communications\, Visual and Performing Arts\, at Delaware State University. Edelin previously taught criminal justice and traditional law at Wesley College. She helped transform the legal studies program into a progressive law and justice studies department\, focused on “educating students for law school\, law enforcement and as a paralegal\,” and also developed a Criminal Justice master’s degree program. As a member of the Appoquinimink School District Board of Education\, she has focused on diversifying the district’s staff to reflect the changing demographic of the community and eradicating the achievement gap for minority children and boys within the district.\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event is FREE\, but please register.\n\n – REGISTER FOR THIS EVENT– \n\n\n\n“High School and College Students: Real Journalists\, Real Rights . . . and Why They Matter”\n\n\n\nFrank LoMonte saw the excellence and the positive results of the reportorial work done by high school and college students when\, for more than a decade\, he was executive director of the Student Press Law Center in Washington\, D.C. He also saw the injustice when some of the hard-working students were denied the right to publish what they discovered\, uncovered\, and wrote about. He and his colleagues stood ready to fight for them. \n  \nStudent journalists increasingly are stepping up to the plate to provide some of the state and local news coverage that some of the pared-down professional news organizations no longer can. But they don’t always have all the legal protections that professionals have come to rely on. LoMonte will take a look at: \n  \n\nwhat legal protections and remedies are available to student journalists.\nwhy they matter so greatly.\nhow state legislation can help keep journalism students and educators safe.\n\n\n\n\n\nDirections: Get directions to Delaware Law School\, 4601 Concord Pike\, Wilmington.\n\nParking: See campus map. Whether you take the main entrance or the second entrance\, park behind the Main Law Building (#6) in the well-lighted lot marked P6 (top of map). Enter the back of the building directly from the parking lot. Make the first right turn to get to Room #119.

SUMMARY:2019 DPA Communications Contest Awards Banquet
DESCRIPTION:Delaware Press Association Annual Meeting & Communications Contest Awards Banquet\nThe 2019  awards banquet will be held at the University & Whist Club\, 805 North Broom Street\, Wilmington\, on Thursday\, May 2.

It’s not about you. But it’s all up to you.”   \n  \nRegister and Pay by Credit Card or Check \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Sunshine Week Event March 12
DESCRIPTION:“The Role of State Government in Combating Illicit Financial Flows” \nSpeaker: Eryn Schornick\, Senior Policy Advisor\, Global Witness Anti-money-laundering Team \nWidener University Delaware Law School \nRuby Vale Moot Court Room \n4601 Concord Pike \nWilmington\, Delaware \nCLICK TO REGISTER FOR THIS FREE EVENT \n  \nMonday\, March 12\, 2018 \n6:30 p.m.  – Social Gathering and Networking \n7:00 p.m. – Program: \nWelcome: DPA President\, Mark Fowser \nOpening Remarks: DelCOG President\, Nick Wasileski \nSpeaker: Eryn Schornick plus audience Q & A \nLight refreshments \nFREE and open to the public  \nTrue or false? Delaware is a haven for money laundering\, drug trafficking\, terrorism\, and investment fraud. Because of Delaware’s accommodating business codes and the secrecy around formation of Limited Liability Companies (LLCs) in Delaware\, it’s all too true. In an article in the December 1\, 2017\, edition of The News Journal\, Karl Baker reports: “Secrecy around LLCs [Limited Liability Companies] in Delaware . . . can slow law enforcement efforts to find companies that act as conduits through which allegedly tainted money flows.” \nEryn Schornick’s presentation will address the problem of hidden company owners and the real life impact of these anonymously-owned companies based on Global Witness’s investigations into corruption\, including money laundering. While policy solutions are being negotiated at the federal level\, the presentation will highlight “the role of state government in combating illicit financial flows.” \nMs. Schornick has led a Global Witness investigation in partnership with NBC and Reuters into large-scale global money laundering\, including the proceeds of drug trafficking and dubious Russian and Eastern European investments in luxury properties. Her work has looked at how investors\, business\, government contractors and other major stakeholders are involved in or are exposed to financial and reputational risk in cases of corruption\, fraud\, and theft facilitated by anonymous shell companies. She is a NY licensed attorney with a focus on international humanitarian law and international human rights law. \n‘World’s top online brothel’ is Delaware company in ‘good standing.’ This headline in the February 9\, 2018\, edition of The News Journal leads into an article by Margie Fishman that states: “Backpage.com\, … involved in nearly three-quarters of the 10\,000 child-trafficking reports received annually by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children\, has been sued repeatedly by state prosecutors\, sex trafficking survivors and victims’ advocacy groups\, [but] is currently meeting all requirements for a business entity outlined in Delaware law\, according to Secretary of State Jeff Bullock and Attorney General Matt Denn.” Bullock said\, “We don’t have the legal authority” to dissolve the company. \nMark Hays\, Anti-Money Laundering Campaign Leader at Global Witness says in reference to Fishman’s article\, “Extensive details are given about how the owners of Backpage used shell entities in Delaware and overseas to nominally sell their ownership stake in the company\, while still retaining control by other means – thus distancing themselves from further legal accountability.” \nDelCOG has been active in raising awareness and sponsoring state legislation to reform Delaware LLCs. John Flaherty\, DelCOG board member\, says\, “We have a history of ignoring legitimate law enforcement investigations; that does not bode well for the reputation of Delaware\, especially because our economy is dependent on incorporation fees and business taxes that make up a significant part of the state bud-get. But we are a leader in the incorporation of LLCs and must take responsibility for fixing the system.” \n“We are aware of the role that Delaware legal entities play in facilitating money laundering and sex trafficking\, including the Backpage case\,” Hays adds. “Global Witness works closely in coalition with a number of anti-trafficking groups that have documented the use of shell entities in trafficking networks in some detail. Delaware remains somewhat oppositional in this space\, but there are shifts afoot at the federal level that may signal a sea change in the diverse\, bipartisan support for this measure\, which could in turn shape’s Delaware’s position.” \nThe audience will be able to comment and to ask questions during the Q&A following the presentation. \nCLICK TO REGISTER FOR THIS FREE EVENT \nGet Directions to Widener University Delaware Law School \n4601 Concord Pike\, Wilmington\, Delaware \nGet Delaware Law School Campus Map \nFree parking in large well-lighted lot (P) behind Building 6 (Main law building) \nEnter lower level lobby from the parking lot (see top of screen) \nFor more information: heeltoetoe@gmail.com.
