From the Fashion Law Institute:

Halloween and the Day of the Dead are fast approaching, and for this year's annual ethics CLE event, we'd like to treat you to a pair of thought-provoking panels.  Join us for an insightful -- and at times hair-raising -- discussion of issues from intellectual property's twilight zone and on the cutting edge of sexual harassment law:

• When does a costume constitute cultural misappropriation?

• How can we keep fear of cultural appropriation from curtailing cultural exchange in fashion?

• Should fashion houses be haunted by ghosts of celebrities past in states without postmortem publicity rights?

PANELISTS:

• Bibhu Mohapatra
  Designer

• Mimi Plange

• Professor Susan Scafidi
  Founder and Director, Fashion Law Institute

• Yeohlee Teng

• Carlene Thomas-Bailey

• Do settlement agreements in sexual harassment cases bury victims in unethical silence?

• What does Harvey Weinstein's ghastly employment contract say about the spirit of corporate law?

• Should business partners be scared off by allegations of sexual harassment?

• What can we do to make the fashion industry a less frightening place?
