Meet Your
Peers
WSTDA Members:
It's time to register! WSTDA’s Fall Meeting is being
held October 19-21, 2010 at the Hilton Ft. Worth in Ft.
Worth, Texas. Don’t miss this valuable opportunity to
meet with your industry peers and friends.
Special
Session - Mock Trial
Accident at Stormfield Place: Going to Trial
Todd Peterson, Partner
Bassi, Edlin, Huie & Blum, LLP
There’s been an accident. Someone was killed using the
product you gave them. The authorities investigate. OSHA
arrives shortly thereafter. Months later the distraught
family files a lawsuit.
The WSTDA presents “Accident at Stormfield Place: Going
to Trial” at the upcoming Fall meeting in Dallas/Fort
Worth. The seminar presents a complete mock trial
stemming from a fictional accident. Attorneys Todd
Peterson and Noel Edlin will describe the facts of the
accident, and then put the product on trial. Peterson
and Edlin play opposing counsel. They will begin with
opening statements. They will examine and cross examine
witnesses (played by WSTDA members), and conclude with
closing arguments. Thereafter, the audience will play
the jury. A fictional “foreman” will lead their
deliberations. Attendees will deliberate and render a
verdict. You decide the outcome.
Peterson and Edlin are partners in Bassi, Edlin, Huie &
Blum in San Francisco and Los Angeles. They are
experienced trial attorneys who specialize in the
defense of companies in the manufacturing and rental
industries.
Hints & Tips
Just like its balance of "Cowboys and Culture," Fort
Worth weather offers an ideal balance of warm and cool
climate: 230+ days of sunshine a year, just enough rain
to keep things green.
About Ft. Worth
As the 17th largest city in the United States and the
No. 1 tourist destination in Texas, Fort Worth welcomes
nearly 5.5 million visitors each year. No other city
boasts such an unmistakable mix of preserved Western
heritage and unrivaled artistic offerings. After all,
Fort Worth is where you can see Michelangelo's first
painting and see the world's only twice-daily cattle
drive, all within minutes of Sundance Square, our
downtown entertainment district.
If you have any questions or need more information,
please call WSTDA Headquarters at 443-640-1070 ext. 117
or Laura Izzo at extension 110.
We look forward to seeing you in October!
Sincerely,
Cynthia M. Jordan
Director of Meetings and Member Services. |
