Open to all! An opportunity to hear stories from a member on selected Sunday mornings.  These members will discuss their work, insights from their volunteer experience, and other special (and funny) anecdotes.

Oct 19:  Michael Radine will chat about his work as a lawyer at Osen LLC, a firm that exclusively represents victims of international terrorism. He'll discuss the firm's work, including cases they've brought on behalf of victims of the October 7 massacres (with some exclusive visual evidence).  Michael has had appearances before the Supreme Court of the United States and has been involved in other legal "adventures," including representing Gold Star families who lost members who served our country!

BIO:

Michael J. Radine joined Osen LLC in 2016 after working for several years as a litigator at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP and Davis & Gilbert LLP.

Mr. Radine focuses on the Firm’s counter-terrorism cases in federal trial and appellate courts. Mr. Radine has argued before the Supreme Court of the United States, the Second Circuit and D.C. Circuit Courts of Appeals, and the Court of Appeals of New York, the state’s highest court. In his appearance before the New York Court of Appeals, Mr. Radine won a unanimous, 7-0 decision holding that a successor corporation may inherit a predecessor corporation’s jurisdictional status, a question the high court had “not decided” ever before.

In the Second Circuit, Mr. Radine has won unanimous decisions on difficult legal issues, including matters of first impression. Mr. Radine successfully argued the first case in the Second Circuit which “asks us to consider whether jurisdiction can be based on a foreign bank's use of a correspondent account that it does not own.” He has also authored multiple party and amicus briefs at the U.S. Supreme Court and federal appellate level.

Mr. Radine graduated from Columbia University School of Law in 2009. At Columbia, he was a Teaching Fellow and Managing Editor of the Columbia Journal of Transnational Law. While at Columbia Law, he also received the Parker School Recognition of Achievement in International and Comparative Law. Prior to law school, Mr. Radine earned a master’s degree in international relations from the University of Chicago and a bachelor’s degree from Washington University in St. Louis, summa cum laude.

Mr. Radine is the co-editor of and contributor to the book Soft Law in International Arbitration (Juris, 2014, 2024), now in its second edition.
