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.

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

immigration, taxation, health and social welfare, and more.

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

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

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
