Announcement
Organizers of the inaugural Complex Litigation Ethics Conference announced three recipients of its first Awards for Excellence in Ethics in Complex Litigation: Ninth Circuit Judge William Fletcher and attorneys Elizabeth J. Cabraser and Fred W. Alvarez. The awards were scheduled for an October 22, 2022 event in San Francisco. The organizer's own announcement identifies the recipients, event, and selection context.
The conference was associated with the Center for Litigation and Courts at UC Hastings College of the Law. Program co-chairs Joshua P. Davis and Scott Dodson described the awards as recognizing professional leadership and attention to ethical practice in class actions and other complex cases. Their descriptions explain the organizers' reasons for the recognition, not a ranking of all judges or lawyers.
The old release included registration and press-access details for a specific 2022 event. Those instructions are no longer current, and its continuing-education information should not be applied to a future conference. Readers looking for later programming or present credentials should consult the organizer and the professionals' current institutional profiles.
