2010 CASE LAW SEMINARS: PRE-REGISTRATION NOTICE
The Institute has finalized plans for the 2010 California workers’ compensation case law seminars – the latest installment in CWCI’s successful seminar series initiated 12 years ago. The program will offer workers’ compensation claims and legal professionals information and insights on case law so they can work together to develop effective defense and negotiation strategies. The sessions will be presented by attorneys Saul Allweiss and Michael Marks (Law Offices of Saul Allweiss, Tarzana) and Richard Jacobsmeyer (Shaw, Jacobsmeyer, Crain, Claffey & Nix, Oakland), and will be moderated by CWCI General Counsel Michael McClain.
The program will be held Monday, May 3 at the Grand Hyatt in San Francisco, and will be repeated Wednesday May 5 at the Grand Long Beach Event Center. As in the past, the seminar will use a debate-style format to review trends in decisional law and to present both the applicant and defense perspectives on various topics. Presentations will run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., with lunch from noon to 1 p.m. The seminar will end with a Q&A that will conclude by 3:30 p.m.
Continuing education units will be available for attorneys, as CWCI is a state bar of California approved MCLE provider (5 hours). The Institute also will provide certificates of attendance for those seeking credit towards the Department of Insurance workers’ comp claim administrator certification requirements and for submission to the Association of Hearing Representatives of California.
