The Second Annual Alameda County Employment Law Symposium is scheduled for this Friday afternoon, September 30, 2011, at the Lake Chalet Seafood Bar & Grill in Oakland. The first panel, starting at noon and featuring Judges Freedman and Brick and their research attorneys, will be of interest to attorneys handling all kinds of class actions in Alameda County Superior Court (not just employment cases). I believe you can sign up for each panel separately or you can register for the entire afternoon.
Here are the panel descriptions from the Bar Association's website:
