Schedule/Sessions
Session 1 - Death with Dignity - An Analysis of the Future Impact on Litigation
- Speakers:

Gina Harris, ProAssurance Corporation
David Prisco, CARE RRG, Inc.
Eva Satori, PeaceHealth - Hospitals and Medical Clinics in Washington, Oregon, Alaska
Since Brittany Maynard became the voice for the right to "die with dignity", twenty-five states have heard her plea and are considering legislation. Once she was diagnosed with a terminal brain tumor, the twenty-nine-year-old California resident relocated to Oregon, the first state to enact Death with Dignity legislation. Such legislation affords a person with less than six months to live, the right to ingest a lethal medication. Thereafter, California enacted similar legislation which went into effect last month. This session will focus on issues in risk management and litigation including, liability for mismanagement, providers' right to opt out, Medicare and private insurance consideration, and ethical and moral issues involving conflict of interest.
Session 2 - Putting Your Best Face Forward - Influencing the Internet in Anticipation of Juror Misconduct

Robert deRosset, Young Moore and Henderson, P.A.
Brian N. Johnson, Nilan Johnson Lewis PA
Mark Yarmolich, Apache Industrial Services, Inc.
We all know they do it. Jurors run internet searches even when they are instructed not to. Jurors will Google a party’s product, website, lawyers, and executives. You can’t really stop it. But how can you deal with it? This session will tell you how. The panel will discuss the problem of juror internet use misconduct, typical areas jurors search, what they can find, and what companies can do to shape their internet presence in anticipation that they might be searched. We will also ask the question, can this be construed as jury tampering, and what are the ethical boundaries?
Session 3 - Trial Team Diversity: The Power of Making Room at Counsel Table
- Speakers:
Trevor Gandy, Self Employed
Marlin Howes, Sempra Energy - Southern California Gas Company
Deidre Katz, Walsworth - WFBM, LLP
David Zehner, Zehner Trial Consulting
The rate of women and minorities graduating law school and rising through the legal profession has steadily increased over the past 20 years. A number of companies have expressed their commitment to promoting and recognizing diversity in the industry. Currently, however, this diversity is not similarly reflected in the courtroom during trial, although there can be clear benefits to doing so. This session will explore the history and current status of trial team diversity, reasons behind the disparity, benefits to increasing diversity in the courtroom, and what law firms, corporations and insurers can do (and are doing) to increase the diversity of the attorneys they are using at trial.
