The Federal Bar Association blog recently published, Immersed in Knowledge and Passion: A Young Lawyer’s First Federal Bar Association Qui Tam Conference, authored by Kang Haggerty associate Sofia Calabrese.
In the post, Sofia writes about the experience as a first-time attendee at the conference, and her takeaways in “immersing herself” in the world of the whistleblower practice.
The Federal Bar Association (FBA), founded in 1920, is dedicated to the advancement of the science of jurisprudence and to promoting the welfare, interests, education, and professional development of all attorneys involved in federal law. FBA members run the gamut of federal practice: attorneys practicing in small to large legal firms, attorneys in corporations and federal agencies, and members of the judiciary. The FBA is the catalyst for communication between the bar and the bench, as well as the private and public sectors.
The Qui Tam Section hosted its Annual Hybrid Qui Tam Conference on Thursday, February 22 – Friday, February 23, 2024. Session programming explored the fundamental role that the government plays in all FCA qui tam cases, from the initial relator interview, through the government’s investigation and intervention decision, to litigation, trial, and appeals (in both intervened and declined cases), as well as the final resolution of cases regardless of the stage of the matter. Nearly 400 attendees joined the event, marking this as a nationally growing program providing high value for those interested in False Claims Act litigation. Kang Haggerty was the premier sponsor for the conference.
