La Jolla Bar Association, February MCLE Luncheon

Reminder of the LJBA’s lunch meeting on Thursday, February 11th at 12:00 noon, at the Manhattan of La Jolla restaurant in the Empress Hotel at 7766 Fay Avenue (at Fay & Silverado).

The LJBA is pleased to have attorney and law professor, Todd M. Sloan,  as its lunchtime MCLE speaker, to speak on Trade Secret Law. Topics will include its history; California and Federal statutory authorities; significant reported decisions; discussion of what constitutes protectable information and what constitutes misappropriation of trade secrets/confidential information; legal theories applicable to misappropriation avoidance; and suggestions for prevention of economic espionage.

Professor Sloan, a trial attorney for 44 years, has also been adjunct professor of law at the University of Virginia School of Law the past 11 years, teaching the law school’s accelerated course in Trade Secret Law. Professor Sloan also taught courses for several years in Trial Practice and Conflicts of Laws at Pepperdine University School of Law.

Professor Sloan frequently presents continuing education programs on Trade Secret law, as well as the Mexican legal system and coastal permitting and litigation. He has authored articles on trade secret theory and litigation, and authored a monograph on defense of trade secret litigation, published by the American Bar Association section on Patent, Trademark and Copyright.

Special thanks to LJBA member Roy Morrow Bell  for his assistance in obtaining Todd M. Sloan (former colleagues together at Ross, Dixon & Bell, LLP)  as our association’s February speaker.
