Hon. Margaret L. Oldendorf (Ret.) offers a candid and practical look at how judges evaluate personal-injury damages in both trial and mediation.

This program will cover key topics such as tailoring your approach to the judge’s style, using CACI jury instructions to frame damages, handling preexisting conditions, and presenting persuasive yet measured arguments that resonate with jurors and neutrals alike.Audio versions of Beverly Hills Bar Association programs are eligible for Self-Study CLE credit in California.
