Event Details
The Qui Tam Section of the Federal Bar Association will bring to Phoenix, “The False Claims Act Today,” the traveling CLE that looks at real-life FCA practice in specific jurisdictions.
If you’ve never filed an FCA case before, in D. Ariz. or elsewhere, you’ll get an overview of the process—including a quick review of case law in the Ninth Circuit. If you have filed in D. Ariz., you’ll be treated to valuable insights from the DOJ and a federal judge, plus experienced counsel on both sides of the aisle.
Attendees will learn: What AUSAs seek in a complaint and relator’s statement; How the Justice Department decides whether to get behind your case; How judges evaluate seal violations and extension requests; The impact of the Supreme Court’s Escobar and Cochise decisions; and How developments in high-profile cases including Gilead and AseraCare have reverberated in D. Ariz.
The program includes a blue-ribbon panel: The Hon. John J. Tuchi, U.S. District Judge for D. Ariz.; Patrick M. Klein, a civil frauds trial attorney for the U.S. Department of Justice in D.C.(a.k.a. “Main Justice”); Defense counsel Robert J. Milligan of Milligan Lawless; and, Relator’s counsel Lon R. Leavitt of Halunen Law—who, until recently, was an Assistant U.S. Attorney in Phoenix pursuing FCA cases.
