Eastern District Conference

Join us for the annual Eastern District Conference at the beautiful Tenaya at Yosemite in Fish Camp, California. This year's theme, Courtroom to Courtside, will unite attorneys and federal judges for a weekend filled with professional development, networking opportunities, and collaborative discussions. Participants will engage in general sessions that cover cutting-edge legal topics relevant to practitioners, alongside specialized breakout sessions designed specifically for civil, criminal, and bankruptcy attorneys.Attendees will have the unique chance to participate in an intimate fireside chat with the district's newest judges, providing insights and answering questions in a relaxed environment. In addition to the legal topics, the conference encourages connection among colleagues through activities such as a guided hike in California's stunning landscape and various networking meet-and-greet events scheduled throughout the weekend. Participants can earn 6-8 MCLE credit hours while exploring current legal issues, litigation trends, and significant historical matters pertinent to the Eastern District of California. The conference aims to elevate legal practice within the District, create a meaningful forum for discussion, foster collegiality among the bench and bar, and enhance access to justice across the region. Each year, the Eastern District Conference gathers leading voices to address timely legal issues, showcasing topics from previous conferences such as The New Normal: Living with Wildfires and Bankruptcy- Fees for Me but Not for Thee? Let Us Help You Get Paid in Bankruptcy. This event truly offers something for every member of the legal community.
