Employment Law Trial Practice Tips Employment litigation continues to increase. A number of new labor and employment laws effective in 2015 in
California should move current numbers even higher. Our speakers have extensive practice in employment law
litigation, especially in those types of cases whose numbers are expected to continue to rise: discrimination, sexual
harassment, whistleblower retaliation, wage and hour including misclassified worker cases and others. They will
share their practice tips and techniques required to litigate and try a case in this expanding and changing area of the
law from all of the following perspectives: judge, jury (consultant), defense and plaintiff counsel.

“REEL JUSTICE” The Sequel
Thursday, April 30, 2015Featuring Keynote Speaker:
Paul BergmanUCLA Professor of Law EmeritusCo-Author of Reel Justice: The Courtroom Goes to the Movies
Topic:Filmmakers have always loved courtroom stories. Who can forget the brilliantly funny cross-examinations in My Cousin Vinny, the ethical gaffes that accompany a lawyer’s redemptive journey in The Verdict, or Atticus Finch’s
heroic pursuit of justice in To Kill a Mockingbird? The presentation will use film clips from wonderful films such as these as springboards for a discussion of such topics as popular perceptions of law and lawyers, the legitimacy and
wisdom of courtroom demonstrations, techniques for examining expert witnesses, and cross-examination strategies.
