"California Unfair Competition Law Under Section 17200 After Proposition 64"

The 2008 Class Action and UCL Conference sponsored by Bridgeport Continuing Education took place last week in Los Angeles. Two of the presenters, Larry Steinberg and Effie Cogan of Buchalter Nemer, graciously forwarded their powerpoint presentation: "California Unfair Competition Law Under Section 17200 After Proposition 64" (pdf).

Incidentally, my partner, Miranda Kolbe, will be speaking at Bridgeport's San Francisco session of this same conference on July 15, 2008. The co-speaker for her panel will be Erica Craven of Levy Ram & Olson. Judge Ronald M. Sabraw (ret.) is among the other speakers slated to appear.
