getGCDesc=The 2002 Global Conference focused on how to build prosperity
in what has become an increasingly interdependent world. More than 130
speakers from around the world - senior executives from major
corporations, CEOs and analysts from leading financial firms, senior
public policy officials, Nobel laureates, academic experts, scientists
and journalists - gathered to discuss how to improve global economic
conditions. Opening Monday night with "The Long View: Challenges and
Opportunities for a Global Civilization," that panel and subsequent
sessions focused on job creation, regional prosperity, the outlook for
pension funds, political stability, healthcare costs, immigration,
biotechnology, the evolving role of financial institutions and other
issues that impact every individual and business. The conference
examined why certain cities and regions are better at developing the
skills of their citizens and creating jobs; the role of education in
expanding human capital; medical research investments, cancer and heart
disease, nutrition and healthcare costs; global regional outlooks;
business journalism; the business of sports; and much more. getGCDoM=22

getGCtitle=Global Conference 2002 getRTDesc=Securities litigation
against corporate America could impact the economy as the fear of
lawsuits by investors and the costs of defending them by companies
divert capital away from productive uses, presenters at this roundtable
discussion said. "I�ve talked to investors from all over the world, and
their deep concern is securities litigation," said Mickey Kantor, former
U.S. Secretary of Commerce and now a partner in the law firm of Mayer,
Brown & Platt. "It strikes fear in their hearts." With investment
driving the economic boom of the �90s in the U.S., the economy could
suffer if investors are scared away from American companies because of
the increase in class-action lawsuits alleging securities fraud.
"Without that investment, which can be inhibited by the fear of these
kinds of lawsuits, we�re going to shoot ourselves in the foot," said
Kantor, who also served three years as U.S. Trade Representative. To
prevent this from happening, several things are needed � from tort
legislation and tougher judges to a legal strategy that fights these
lawsuits based on sound economic research and theory, said members of
the panel, who were also attorneys from Mayer, Brown & Platt,
co-sponsor of the event. The firm recently won a $50-million settlement
in a lawsuit against Milberg Weiss Bershad Hynes and Lerach, a New York
law firm that has sued hundreds of companies on behalf of shareholders.
Mayer, Brown & Platt sued the firm, accusing it of abusing the legal
process by trying to destroy the reputation of Lexecon Inc., a
consulting firm that has testified on behalf of companies sued by
Milberg Weiss. In April, a jury in Chicago awarded Lexecon $45 million
in compensatory damages in the case. The two sides agreed to a $50
million settlement before the jury could decide on punitive damages. The
volume of securities class-action lawsuits in federal court has been
climbing. Recent research described in a Policy Short published by the
Milken Institute, "The Economic Costs of Frivolous Securities
Litigation," shows that in 1998, the number of such suits filed was
close to one suit a day for every trading day that the stock market was
open, breaking the record set in 1994. The research also shows that
smaller companies � those that are the fastest-growing in the country,
such as high-tech firms � are being sued more frequently than larger
companies. Alan N. Salpeter, the lead attorney in the Milberg Weiss case
for Mayer, Brown & Platt, said the Lexecon victory should send a
signal to corporate America that it needs to fight securities lawsuits,
not just settle them. "If everybody settles these cases, then we�ll
never make law in this area," said Salpeter. "We�ll never be able to
fight back as a defense bar and establish some principals that are
helpful. There�s only so much that can be done in passing legislation.
But there�s a lot that can be done through the appellate process." One
of the lessons of the Lexecon case, he added, is that it "was clearly
about someone who fought back." Other solutions offered by the panelists
included: When building a defense, lawyers must think of the economics
of the case. Many factors cause stock prices to fall, he said. Build a
strong economics case as to why the price fell. Tort litigation. The
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 helped reduce the
number of frivolous lawsuits, but the numbers are climbing back. New
legislation is needed to curb these suits. Passing new laws is a long
and difficult process, however, said two other speakers � Philip R.
Recht, former deputy administrator of the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration who joined Mayer, Brown & Platt this year, and
Mark H. Gitenstein, former chief counsel to the U.S. Senate Judiciary
Committee who has been a partner with the firm since 1990. They, along
with Kantor, stressed the need for defense lawyers to be as aggressive
as plaintiffs� attorneys have been in taking their case to politicians
in Washington and Sacramento. Gitenstein said he has learned four
important lessons from his years in Washington: "There has to be a good
public policy reason for reform." It�s not just who you know, he said,
but "what you know" that counts. "You cannot do tort reform in
Washington unless it is bipartisan." Be prepared for incremental reform.
"You can�t go for the whole enchilada," he said. "You�re not going to
get the whole enchilada." Broad reform is possible, but only when the
issue is positioned in a way that "the average American can understand
it." getRTDoM=14 getRTEventID=otherevent getRTID=3 getRTMonth=6

Californians: the business climate, immigration, state budget concerns,
inner-city and rural economic development, and what's ahead for the
state's technology industry, among others. Then, panelists on six
sessions will examine these issues: Business Climate: The weather may be
perfect, but is the climate right for business? What steps must
California take to mitigate tempting offers from competing states? The
Barbell Economy: California's prosperity has become a model for the rest

must the state do to reverse a declining middle class? Housing: Can the
words �housing� and �affordable� meet again in California? California is
creating three to four new jobs per new housing unit. How is that
impacting business here? Technology: The tech sector may be struggling,
but it�s still the backbone of the state's economy. What�s the state's
position for future technology-led economic growth? Financing, today and
tomorrow: How does California climb back into black and ensure a less
volatile revenue stream for the future? Secession: Do you live, work or

co-sponsors conferences in Israel focusing on private/public
partnerships to help fund needed projects. What do the Yarkon River and
a parking garage in Tel Aviv have in common? Both are the subject of
initiatives by Milken Institute researchers who are working with
officials in Israel on ways to finance urban development projects using
new and innovative financial tools. The Institute co-sponsored two
conferences at Tel Aviv University in June 2002 that focused on two
projects � the cleanup of the Yarkon River and economic development in
Tel Aviv. At the heart of both efforts are two of the Institute�s top
research priorities � using private/public partnerships and innovative
financial tools, not just government funds, to save the earth�s
ecosystems, and to increase economic development in the Middle East. The
first conference, held June 10, examined a variety of financial tools
that could help pay for the cleanup of the Yarkon River, Israel�s
second-largest river, which runs through seven different municipalities
in the most densely populated area of Israel. Damage to the river
includes water diversion, sewage outfall and habitat destruction. The
conference, �New Methods for Financing Environmental Projects in Israel
/ Case Study: Yarkon River Cleanup,� brought together finance and
environmental officials, academic experts and business leaders to look
at ways to pay for rehabilitating the river, such as a mix of private
and public funding. Among those speaking was Glenn Yago, Director of
Capital Studies at the Milken Institute. The day-long event was
co-sponsored by the Tel Aviv-Los Angeles Partnership and the Recanti
Graduate School of Business and the Porter School of Environmental
Studies at Tel Aviv University. The second conference, �Community
Economic Development in Tel Aviv-Yafo,� held June 13, focused on how to
use private and public financing to fund urban development in Tel Aviv.
It looked at the �Genesis� model in Los Angeles, which combines private
and public financial tools for economic development, and how its
successes could be transferred to initiatives in Tel Aviv. Among those
speaking were Dr. Yago and a host of private and public officials from
Israel. The event was co-sponsored by the Tel Aviv�Los Angeles
Partnership and the Tel Aviv Municipality. To view the program, click
here. The Tel Aviv-Los Angeles Partnership is active in joint projects
between their respective cities in the areas of economic development,
education, culture and others. Most recently, the Milken Institute and
the Partnership worked together on creating a municipal bond to raise
money for the construction of a parking lot in Tel Aviv � the first of
its kind of financing in Israel. Both of the Israeli efforts are tied to
the wider work of the Institute�s Capital Studies group on finding
innovative financial solutions to help solve long-standing social,
economic and environmental problems. getotherconfDoM=2
