This program will cover the key concepts and issues that arise in workers’ compensation cases. The panelists will discuss the issues from both the petitioner and respondent perspective to prepare practitioners on either side for success when they take on a workers’ compensation case. You will also receive a judicial perspective from a sitting Workers’ Compensation Judge. While the course will prepare young attorneys and those attorneys new to Workers’ Compensation to practice in this area of the law, experienced practitioners will also benefit from the program as it is a timely refresher course with a focus on new developments and recent changes to the practice.
