Tom Bruetsch (Bodman) and Herb Sanders (The Sanders Law Firm) will share some of their best practices and practical advice for handling high-visibility cases that seem to attract all of the attention - whether you want them to or not! There will be plenty of opportunity for discussion and, of course, networking afterwards. DMBA and WBA members attend free of charge; all others pay $5. Cash Bar.
