Lieff Cabraser partner Annika K. Martin will speak on “Plaintiff Side Litigation” this Saturday, January 25, 2020, at the University of California Public Service Law Conference in Irvine, California.

The panel features five practitioners from a range of public interest issue areas who are all fighting for justice at Plaintiff-side law firms. Attendees will get to hear about what it’s like to be an attorney at a private public-interest-oriented firm taking on big civil and human rights issues. Panelists will discuss their multi-faceted, varied work, which includes human trafficking cases, fighting the opioid epidemic, the PG&E fire cases, taking on the gun industry in the 2017 Las Vegas shooting litigation, and what it was like to serve as class counsel in the USC sexual assault litigation.
