I am the chairperson of the newly-formed Palo Alto Area Bar Association Trial Practice Forum. The Trial Practice Forum will offer a series of CLE seminars and roundtable discussions regarding trial practice and litigation starting on May 14, 2009.
In May, we will offer Federal Preemption after Wyeth as a roundtable 
discussion. The US Supreme Court decision in Wyeth v. Levine was a landmark decision for federal preemption and specifically defective drug litigation. What other areas of litigation and industry were impacted by this decision? What issues still remain regarding preemption after Wyeth? The discussion will examine these issues and more. The seminar will take place at the Law Office of Brett A. Burlison, 530 Lytton Ave. 2nd floor, Palo Alto, CA. 94301, at 11:45 – 1:00 p.m. Lunch will be provided.
The Trial Practice Forum will also offer seminars regarding liens and deposing experts in June and July as well.
