Engagement Committee are excited to announce a first-ever series of
practice-based presentations geared towards law students and new lawyers on
various areas of law.
Robins Kaplan, LLP attorney
Liz Fors will kick off the first series of presentations by
discussing her experiences working as a medical malpractice litigation associate
on the landmark verdict she secured with her colleagues in Edward Bermingham
IV v. Patricia Eid NP el al.. Ms. Fors will provide a background of the
Bermingham matter
and address what it was like to work a complex medical malpractice case from
pre-litigation investigation stage through the end of trial. Chris Messerly and
Liz obtained the largest wrongful death case in state history and what is believed to be the third largest verdict in United
States history for a wrongful death case for these types
of damages. Liz will also provide pleadings and other written materials that her firm
prepared during the course of litigation.
