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 program will take place via teleconference on Friday, October 28, 2016 from Noon-2:00pm (Central).

The panel of 3 sitting U.S. District Court Judges will discuss a range of issues in awarding attorney fees and expenses in large, complex litigation.  The panel is comprised of the Honorable Avern L. Cohn, Senior Judge in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, the Honorable Frank Maas, Magistrate Judge in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, and the Honorable Lisa M. Smith, Magistrate Judge in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. 

NALFA is the nation's exclusive CLE provider of events and programs on attorney fee and legal billing topics.  This will be the sixteenth program NALFA has hosted on attorney fees and the second involving an all judicial panel.

“We’re excited to be hosting this all judicial panel again,” 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.
