Tim Tomasik to Speak at the ABA Aviation Litigation National Institute in New York on the Admissibility of NTSB Reports at Trial

Tim Tomasik, Partner at Tomasik Kotin Kasserman, will be speaking on the proper evidentiary uses of NTSB Reports and Underlying Findings at Trial at the American Bar Association’s Aviation National Institute in New York City on June 5, 2014.  Tim Tomasik is the Co-Chair of the ABA Aviation Law Committee and a member of the Institute’s Planning Committee.

A number of top aviation trial attorneys from around the country will gather to put on a day long program that focuses on cutting edge developments in aviation litigation including the Legal Regulatory and Insurance Implications of Space Tourism.

The Keynote Speaker for this year’s program is Brian M. Jenkins, Ph.D., one of the world’s leading authorities on terrorism and sophisticated crime.  President Clinton appointed Mr. Jenkins to the White House Commission on Aviation Safety and Security.  He will be speaking on the current terrorist threat to commercial aviation and a fundamental review of four decades of aviation security.

Prior to 9/11, Mr. Jenkins presented a paper to the aviation industry at an International Seminar on Aviation Security in February 1989, where Mr. Jenkins stated that, “the nightmare of governments is that suicide terrorists will hijack a commercial airliner and by killing or replacing its crew, crash it into a city or some vital facility.”  The distinguished faculty also includes Professor Steven Saltzburg from George Washington University School of Law, who will present on the ethics of prepping and presenting witnesses for deposition or trial.

The program, sponsored in part by Tomasik Kotin Kasserman, will be held at Convene Conference Center in Times Square, New York on June 5, 2014.
