2025 Case Law Seminar: Registration Notice
CWCI is pleased to announce that our 27th annual California Workers’ Compensation Case Law Update program will be held as a live, online broadcast on Tuesday, September 9 from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
CWCI’s annual case law seminar is the longest running program of its type in the industry and provides the most comprehensive review of the last year in decisional law. The full-day program will review recent court decisions and provide insight into appropriate negotiation and defense strategies for claims personnel, attorneys, hearing reps, and other industry professionals. Many attendees return year after year to keep up to date on judicial precedent that affects how they do their jobs every day.
CWCI’s Senior VP of Claims and General Counsel Sara Widener-Brightwell is overseeing the development of the program and will moderate the session, which will again feature veteran defense attorneys Richard Jacobsmeyer, James W. Jones, and Randy Pollak, as well as applicants’ attorney Lisa Ivancich. Our panelists will offer real-world, practical insights from both defense and applicant perspectives. In addition to providing updates on recent rulings, the speakers will identify issues related to statutory and regulatory changes, examine old case law to see what still applies and what does not, and offer attendees a fresh look at the impact of case law.
Seminar Features:
- The seminar will include a full audio-visual presentation identifying important case details, factual backgrounds, and other highlights for every case on the agenda. All attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions of the panelists during morning and afternoon Q&A sessions.
