Register for CAOC's 4th Annual Class Action Seminar this Thursday
I highly recommend that all plaintiffs' attorneys register to attend CAOC's 4th Annual Class Action Seminar, which will take place this coming Thursday, January 28, from noon to 6:00 p.m. at the Sir Francis Drake Hotel in San Francisco. Registration is $160 for CAOC or SFTLA members ($175 for non-members), and you can earn 5 hours of MCLE credit, including 1 hour of ethics credit.

I've attended this program each year since 2007, and it is always excellent. This year, the roster of speakers includes prominent and experienced class action practitioners, along with Alameda County Superior Court Judge Robert B. Freedman and Northern District of California Chief Magistrate Judge James Larson. The complete program schedule is below. I'm attending again this year and hope to see some of you there!
