UPCOMING EVENTS PLANNED
Important information from the B.C.B.A.
NO MONTHLY MEETING FOR AUGUST 2019
Usual Monthly Meeting
Our meetings are usually the last Monday at noon each month at Cal Northern School of Law 1395 Ridgewood Dr # 100, Chico, CA 95973. Bring a brown bag lunch and come join us!
Our monthly MCLE event is Monday July 29 from Noon to 1:30 pm. This month's topic is Attorney/Client Fee Arbitration through State Bar. The State Bar's Mandatory Fee Arbitration Program is an informal, confidential and lower cost forum for resolving fee disputes between lawyers and their clients. This kind of arbitration is required for a lawyer if requested by a client. Most fee arbitration is conducted through local bar association programs. The State Bar provides fee arbitration when there is no local bar program like for Butte County. Our speaker for this seminar is Ms. Carroll Ragland who is one of the Arbitrators appointed by the State Bar for its Fee Arbitration Program. Presentation will include how to prepare for the hearing and guidelines for how to present your case. There will be a link provided to the State Bar fee arbitration department so that you can review their materials.
One hour MCLE will be provided to all attendees.
The meeting will be at Cal Northern School of Law. Brown Bag lunch.
Hope to see you there!
