PRESIDENT’S

WEDNESDAY
The Holocaust is much more than an unspeakable horror from WWII
or a chapter in a history book. The study of the Holocaust provides
important insight into the consequences when a government transforms the mission of the police, the judiciary and the legal profession
from protecting the rights of individuals to actively abusing basic
human civil rights. How Germany changed in less than a decade from
a free, democratic, and industrialized society to a totalitarian regime
that systematically targeted and murdered millions of people is a
lesson a free society must learn. This seminar examines the legal and
political framework of Nazi Germany and explores the contemporary
lessons of the Holocaust.

Anatomy of a Legal
Malpractice Case
The Role of Attorneys, Insurance Carriers,
and Experts in Serving Justice
Learn from a panel of experts about legal malpractice claims from
beginning to end. The panel will explore and explain each facet of a
legal malpractice case including how to avoid claims; potential causes
of action; defenses; use of experts; the often confusing elements of
professional liability insurance policies; and the history and future
of the State Bar’s mandatory insurance reporting requirements. Hear
from the players in each role of this unique area: plaintiff and defense
counsel, expert witnesses and insurance providers. This seminar will
take participants through each step of a fictitious legal malpractice
case and will provide everything you need to know about how to
protect yourself from a legal malpractice claim in an informative and
practical format.
This program will greatly benefit sole practitioners as the main providers of legal services and often targets of legal malpractice claims
and will also be invaluable for small- and big-firm lawyers.
