The National Association of Legal Fee Analysis (NALFA) is hosting an all judicial panel discussion on court awarded attorney fees.  The CLE program is entitled, "View from the Bench: Awarding Attorney Fees in Complex Litigation."  This live, remote CLE will take place via teleconference on Friday, April 1, 2016 from Noon-2:00pm (Central).

The panel of 3 sitting U.S. District Judges will discuss a range of issues in awarding attorney fees and expenses in large, complex litigation in federal court.  The panel is comprised of the Honorable Milton I. Shadur, Senior Judge of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, the Honorable William G. Young, District Judge of the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts and the Honorable Victor A. Bolden, District Judge of the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut.

NALFA hosts CLE and professional development programs on attorney fee and legal billing topics.  This will be the twelfth program NALFA has hosted and the first involving an all judicial panel.

“We’re excited to be hosting this CLE program,” said Terry Jesse, Executive Director of NALFA.  “We want to provide our members, clients and others with outstanding CLE and professional development programming on legal fee analysis.  We also want to continue to lead the nation in thought leadership and expertise on reasonable attorney fees and expenses,” Jesse said.
