The moderators for the event are INGRID M. EVANS • Waters & Kraus LLP and DAVID M. ARBOGAST • Arbogast & Berns LLP.  KIMBERLY KRALOWEC • Schubert Jonckheer Kolbe & Kralowec LLP (and, of course, www.uclpractitioner.com) will be speaking, as will other prominent members of the Plaintiff's bar.  In addition, several judges will provide perspectives from the bench:  HON. JEREMY FOGEL • Northern District of California; HON. RICHARD A. KRAMER • SF Superior Court, Complex Division; HON. EMILIE H. ELIAS • LA Superior Court, Complex Division (although it is possible that HON. ANTHONY MOHR • LA Superior Court, Complex Division may fill this spot).

I was considering flying up for this seminar, but a schedule conflict has made that impossible.  Don't be like me - go to this seminar.
