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 getGCEventID=gc02

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

business and financial executives, government leaders and academic
experts for the 4th Annual Milken Institute California State of the

opening session, Chairman Michael Milken will offer his view on some
of the issues that impact all 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 of the
world, yet a growing gap between wealthy and poor looms. What 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 play in Hollywood or the San
Fernando Valley? How might secession from Los Angeles impact your

attendees receive the 2002 California State of the State Briefing

getotherconfDesc=Milken Institute 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

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

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
