Lieff Cabraser partner Katherine Lubin Benson will be featured as a distinguished speaker at the American Bar Association’s 25th Annual National Institute on Class Actions, taking place September 9–10, 2021 in Austin, Texas. On day two of the conference (9/10), Katherine will speak during a panel entitled “Don’t Squat on Your Spurs: Ethical Issues in Class Actions Involving Injury and Experts,” where she will discuss the ethical, strategic, and policy concerns created when appellate decisions wrangle over what constitutes injury-in-fact.
The two-day in-person event will give attendees access to gain practical class action insight from prominent circuit and district court judges, and to learn the latest practical developments in class action law, including trial techniques and best practices for skill sharpening from top professors, in-house counsel, and lawyers.
