The conference, organized collaboratively by The Catholic University of America Columbus School of Law and the Jagiellonian University American Law Programs, provided a robust platform to discuss pressing transatlantic issues related to law, business, and policy. During the event, Regan contributed to a significant panel discussion titled "Courts, Counsel, and Compromise: Comparative Perspectives on Civil Dispute Resolution." This session was expertly moderated by Professor Emerita Leah Wortham of Catholic Law, who guided discussions comparing the approaches to settlement, litigation strategies, and civil dispute resolution between the U.S. and Central and Eastern European legal frameworks.
