"17200 after Mervyn's and Branick"

On September 20, 2006, the Litigation Section of the Bar Association of San Francisco will sponsor "17200 after Mervyn's and Branick," featuring San Francisco Superior Court Judge Richard A. Kramer, David F. McDowell of Morrison & Forester, and James C. Sturdevant of the Sturdevant Law Firm. As longtime readers of the blog may recall, Judge Kramer was one of the first trial judges to rule that Prop. 64 did not apply to pending cases (see these two orders). Mr. McDowell represented the defendant and Mr. Sturdevant the plaintiff in Californians for Disability Rights v. Mervyn's, LLC, 39 Cal.4th 223 (2006). This should be a very interesting program.
