President-Elect Pamela Lee of Swift Currie, Atlanta, has planned a terrific educational program for Friday and Saturday mornings. We’re especially excited for the federal judges’ panel, which was the brainchild of the late Jeff Ward. It was to have taken place in 2020 when he was GDLA President-Elect, but COVID had other plans. Following are the speakers and topics:
- Professionalism: A View from The Bench – U.S. District Court Judge Tripp Self (Middle); USDC Judge Rick Story (Northern); Lisa Godbey Wood (Southern); and moderator Pat O’Connor, Oliver Maner, Savannah
- Legislative Update – Jake Daly, Freeman Mathis & Gary; Marty Levinson, Hawkins Parnell & Young; Kade Cullefer (GDLA lobbyist), Troutman Pepper Strategies; legislators TBA
- Human Trafficking and Civil Liability – Jay Doyle, Lewis Brisbois, Atlanta; and Judge Rick Story, USDC (Northern)
- It’s a Trap! Responding to Complex Demand Letters Designed to Manufacture Bad Faith Claims – Elissa Haynes, Freeman Mathis & Gary, Atlanta; Matt Friedlander, Webb Daniel Friedlander, Atlanta; Marty Levinson, Hawkins Parnell & Young, Atlanta
- Staying Alive in the Legal “Bermuda Triangle” – Navigating Ethical Issues in the Tripartite Relationship – Jennifer Guerra, Stites & Harbison, Business Litigation Service Group, Atlanta
- Leveraging Medical Billing and Coding Experts to Combat Inflated Medical Bills – Toni Elhoms, GDLA Platinum Sponsor AccuMed and Jennifer Adair, Freeman Mathis & Gary, Atlanta
