The Association of Southern California Defense Counsel hosts its 63rd annual seminar on February 8th and 9th, 2023. New and seasoned defense attorneys are gathering at the JW Marriott Hotel in Los Angeles for two days of educational programming, discussions about changes to applicable laws and statutes, and networking opportunities. MEA Forensic is proud to sponsor this event, and attendees can meet some of our experts in the Diamond Foyer throughout the seminar. Cole Young and Ian Miller will be at our bright red booth #23 on Thursday, while Stephanie Bonin and Russell Gish will meet the attendees at the booth on Friday.
This year, the association plans to place it’s focus “Back Into the Future”. Partner David E. Hackett and Associate Stefan Caris Love, both attorneys at Graines, Martin, Stein & Richland, will kick things off with a “Year in Review,” summarizing some of 2023’s most impactful decisions for the defense bar. The next day, Bob Kendrick, President of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, will present the Keynote following the National Anthem by The Singers IN LAW. The seminar’s full program is available online.
The Association of Southern California Defense Counsel (ASCDC) was organized in 1960 by a small group of Los Angeles defense attorneys who felt it was essential for their professional interest to be independently represented. The ASCDC has since grown to become the nation’s preeminent regional defense organization. It now encompasses a diverse group of lawyers who practice from north of Santa Barbara to the Mexican border and from the desert of the inland empire to the shores of Santa Monica. Its members share ideas on the listserve, during MCLE programs, and through Verdict magazine. It draws on the leadership skills of defense attorneys who head up committees that author amicus briefs, organize bench-bar functions, promote diversity and charitable endeavors, and much more.
