ASCDC 2017 Annual Seminar

About the Event

The ASCDC 2017 Annual Seminar has been organized by incoming President Chris Faenza with Yoka & Smith and his excellent committee of board members from throughout Southern California who have put together an outstanding program including this year’s special guest speaker Bill Walton.

Walton is not only a former NBA great, but is also a successful announcer, humanitarian, author and motivational speaker. The seminar will begin as always with “A Year in Review” Case Highlights of 2016 which by itself makes the seminar worth attending. Other topics include panels on CCP Section 998 Offers to Compromise, Binding Arbitration, Howell Strategies from Discovery through Trial, Sargon and the Gatekeeper issue, Attacking and Defeating the Reptile approach and successful Motion Practices.

In addition to these outstanding topics and speakers, this is our opportunity as leaders of the Civil Litigation Defense bar to network, exchange ideas and socialize with our fellow attorneys, clients, judges, our vendors and sponsors. This tradition has been ongoing for more than half a century and this is sure to be one of the best programs to date. It is through your support as well as our vendors and sponsors that ASCDC and this event in particular remain strong.
