The Federal Bar Association N.D. Ohio Chapter hosted its inaugural Bench-Bar Conference in May. The Conference included four panels of federal judges, covering issues from pre-trial through jury instructions and appeals. The last panel included two Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals Judges – the Hon. Judges Karen Nelson Moore and Hon. Judge Rachel Bloomekatz. Professor Kalir, a Board Member of the local FBA Chapter, moderated that session together with attorney Sam Lioi of Jones Day. The Conference was so well received, that in addition to filling up the largest hall in the federal courthouse building, the audience used an overflow space in Judge Polster’s courtroom.

Professor Kalir also presented at the CMBA to a group of young attorneys on the issue of “Contracts after Law School.” The presentation dealt with how to read and write contracts as a practicing attorney.

On May 21, Professor Kalir was invited to speak in front of Park Synagogue congregation “University Day.” The presentation’s title was: “Israel’s Future: ‘Jewish and Democratic’ or ‘Messianic and Ultra-Nationalistic’?” In it, Professor Kalir reviewed the two competing narratives in Israel’s development, and how their recent clash may be the harbinger of some worrisome, anti-democratic trends in Israel. Professor Emeritus Alan Weinstein, a member of the congregation, has kindly introduced Professor Kalir before he spoke.
