Registration is now open for two of CELA’s most popular, longstanding events — our 16th Annual Advanced Wage & Hour Seminar and our 7th Annual Trial College.

This year’s Advanced Wage & Hour seminar will be held on Friday, May 8, 2020, from 9:00am-5:00pm, at the Hilton Oakland Airport. The full-day, high quality program gives plaintiffs’ attorneys an edge in this always-evolving practice area. In addition to an annual case law update and legislative review, panels will cover mass arbitrations; PAGA actions; cy pres law; plus AB 5 and the future of independent contractors in California. Learn from our most skilled members. Sign up today.

And if you have never attended CELA’s highly regarded Trial College, how about joining us this year at Southwestern Law School in Los Angeles, June 4-6, 2020? Seasoned CELA employment trial lawyers will guide participants through the different stages of trial: voir dire (with live jurors), opening statement, direct examination, cross-examination, and closing argument. If you are still sitting on the proverbial fence, here is what past Trial College attendees have said:

“Fantastic — loved the presentations/examples…everyone in CELA should do Trial College.”
“I came into the Trial College with very little litigation experience. I left feeling much more competent and confident about taking cases to trial.”
“Trial College exceeded my expectations.”

Registration and further information is available on the CELA Events page.

We hope to see you at these great events!
