Bitcoin, Charizard and NFTs: Cryptocurrency and Unusual Assets in Divorce Cases
Public keys, blockchain and NFTs. Crypto is becoming an increasingly more common asset in divorce cases. But the reality is that many attorneys have no clue about cold wallets, decentralized exchanges and Bored Apes. Further, crypto is also one of the easiest ways to hide money for a tech savvy spouse.
In this CLE Kelly Burris will discuss valuing unusual assets like collectibles, handling mineral rights and finding & dealing with cryptocurrency in divorce cases. Additional subjects: collectibles, getting an expert for valuations, the economic analysis method for valuing patents, the legal benefits of copyright protection, the strength & value of a trademark, “I Drink Your Milkshake” — The Rule of Capture, fair market value, book value, insurance value, appraised value, crypto for dummies, beyond BitCoin, public keys, private keys, decentralized blockchain wallets, the BlockChain, how parties hold crypto, third party centralized exchanges like Coinbase, mining, questions for clients, finding crypto, discovery, interrogatories and tax issues. Crypto can be an ideal way to hide marital assets because even an experienced family lawyer may not know enough to suspect its existence in a divorce case.
Kelly L. Burris got into family law to help people instead of corporations. “I wanted to be able to help people get through these tough situations in their lives and do it the right way.”Specialty Areas: Areas of Professional Practice

Free Speech on Campus
The Founding Fathers thought so highly of robust public discussion, they added the freedom of speech to the 1st Amendment to the Constitution — right after the freedom of religion. Unfortunately, many colleges do not place this same value on the right to free speech.
One junior college student was barred from passing out pocket Constitutions — on Constitution Day. Emory University told students they can’t hang Christmas decorations. And Syracuse University charged a student orientation leader with hazing & suspended her — because she helped organize an optional campus scavenger hunt. There are countless tales of colleges impermissibly chilling speech on campus and punishing students for legally exercising their free speech rights. In this CLE, Zach Greenberg will mainly cover: hate speech vs. free speech, the more speech approach, college standards & regulations, speech codes and free speech zones. Additional topics: public vs. private colleges, harassment policies, the “true threat” standard, thought reform at the University of Delaware and dealing with hateful speech. Zach will also discuss numerous case examples where colleges overstepped their bounds and trampled on student’s First Amendment rights.
A native New Yorker, Zach graduated from Binghamton University in 2013 and Syracuse Law in 2016. Zach developed an appreciation for free speech while leading the College Libertarians and the Federalist Society.Specialty Areas: Areas of Professional Practice

I Do Not Belong: Impostor Syndrome in the Legal Profession
"I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo. What the hell am I doing here? I don't belong here." Poignant words penned by Thom Yorke of Radiohead while at university in the late 1980s - and possibly the most eloquent expression of impostor syndrome.
Brian S. Quinn was a young lawyer. Fresh out of law school. What started as an exciting day with his mentor at trial - ended with Brian watching his mentor leave the courthouse in a body bag. Worse yet, fellow attorneys then taunted Brian to the point he lost his confidence he eventually felt like he didn't belong - to the point he developed impostor syndrome and began to self-medicate. When the feelings of self-doubt and personal incompetence overwhelmed him, it led to theft from clients, stints in jail and the eventual loss of his law license. Brian shares his story and will talk about three main subjects: normalizing help, Impostor Syndrome & attorneys and trauma centered Impostor Syndrome. Additional topics: Lawyer Assistance Programs, confidentiality, services, ethical exceptions, studies on mental health & impairment, causes, frequency, the 5 personality types, what law firms & attorneys can do, stress vs. distress, a chance for success and being resilient.
Brian S. Quinn maintains a private practice and currently serves as the Education and Outreach Coordinator for LCL of Pennsylvania, Inc., a Lawyers Assistance Program established in 1988 for the purpose of helping lawyers, judges and law students recover from alcoholism, drug addiction and mental health disorders.Specialty Areas: Areas of Professional Practice
