Curious about Amicus Curiae? Kevin Sido's presentation is sure to raise your awareness and answer many questions raised by recent judicial rulings. Kevin will give us a brief overview of an amicus curiae brief – how and when they’re used – and then discuss two friendly decisions – one pertains to the Implied Warranty of Habitability and one pertains to design professionals enforcing their mechanics liens on an incomplete project. This informative, interactive presentation by one of our top-rated presenters is hosted by the SEAOI Government Affairs and Structural Engineers Political Action Committees. Kevin Sido of the Chicago office of Hinshaw & Culbertson LLP, has lectured on ethics for engineers on many occasions. He supplements his lectures by drawing on his decades of representations of engineers and architects for contracts, litigation and disciplinary action representations.
