SUMMARY:Law & Motion: The Truth\, the Whole Truth\, and Nothing but the Truth – A Perspective from the Bench
DESCRIPTION:This program will focus on the art of persuasion\, the “Dos and Don’ts” of law and motion. Tune in to learn everything you ever wanted to know about law and motion but were too afraid to ask. \nHaving served as an Independent Calendar Judge in the West District for over 14 years\, ruling on upwards of 7\,500 motions\, if not more\, with as many as 730 general jurisdiction cases assigned to him at one time\, recently retired Judge Karlan has handled a complex and complicated law and motion calendar under a variety of circumstances and time constraints. \nIn this program Judge Karlan will provide insight from his over twenty years on the bench\, including motions to quash\, demurrers\, motions to strike/anti-SLAPP motions\, MSJs\, electronic service\, discovery and motions in limine. HOWEVER\, beyond the technical legal requirements\, successful motion practice requires careful crafting\, a compelling argument and attention to detail. It also involves thinking of and paying attention to your Judge\, both with respect to what you submit and how you argue. \nSpeaker:\nHon. Craig D.

SUMMARY:Once Upon a Time in Napa...
DESCRIPTION:Description:\nThis program will examine tactics for establishing that a payor qualifies as an extraordinarily high earner under Family Code section 4057(b)(3) and making the case for the children’s reasonable needs. The discussion will take a holistic approach to a high earner case with consideration for the pervasive affluence in our communities\, the psychological impacts of affluence and a lifestyle disparity in households\, and the economics of proving your client has an extraordinarily high income and quantifying children’s reasonable needs in light of the extraordinarily high earning parent’s standard of living. We will also look at how to separate the custodial parent’s needs from the children’s reasonable needs and whether there is an implicit limit on how much a custodial parent may benefit from increased child support. \nSpeaker:\n \n\nHon. Charlotte Walter Woolard (Ret.)\nAlexandra Mussallem\nKatie Sims\, Jacqueline Singer\, Ph.D

SUMMARY:Negotiating the Relational Estate
DESCRIPTION:Description:\nThe ultimate goal of mediation (and other models) is the consensual resolution of a dispute.   The decision to settle for each party involved is a dynamic process and requires a convergence of various elements.  Real life disputes between humans\, and the way we think about resolving a conflict\, always involves emotions and relationships. \nWhile legal professionals are trained to focus on the legal and financial rights of the disputants\, disputes between family members or others with whom a disputant is (or has been) in a close relationship may place significant value on the relationship itself\, recognizing\, and sometimes desiring\, that the relationship may very well continue after the dispute is resolved.  This is inconsistent with our legal system\, which is not designed to focus on “feelings” and the intangible elements of a pre-existing inter-personal relationship between parties.  Rather\, in most cases\, we treat the other side as the “enemy” or “adversary\,” and we effectively presume there will be no need for a functioning relationship between the disputants when the fight is over. This program will explore how part of our duty to our clients is to recognize and advise our clients about the emotional and relational elements that can come into play in consensual dispute resolution\, particularly in family disputes. \nSpeaker:\nDavid Fink\, Esq. \nCost:\n$30 CCCBA Members │ $45 Non-Members
