For about a decade, the Florida Office of Judges of Compensation Claims has presented an annual educational seminar in Tallahassee. Most of these have been held at the First District Court of Appeal facility, which has a fantastic "Multipurpose Meeting Room," (2000 Drayton Drive, Tallahassee, Florida).
The 2020 program is coming Friday, February 21, 2020, again at the First District Court. The program is titled "Workers’ Compensation
in 2020: Ringing In The New Decade." It is co-sponsored by the Workers' Compensation Institute, which has been a partner in all of these Tallahassee programs.
One might expect the program to include many Florida Judges, and that is valid (including JCCs from Daytona Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Gainesville, Jacksonville, Miami, Orlando, Panama City, Lakeland, Port St. Lucie, Tallahassee, Tampa, and West Palm Beach). It also includes some exceptional attorneys from around the state (confirmed speakers include R. Stephen Coonrod, George Helm, Mary Ingley, Paolo Longo, Randall T. Porcher, Todd Sanders, and Sarah Steele).
The program topics will include "Filing a Proper Motion," "Knowing Proper Pretrial Procedure," "A New Standard for Expert Testimony? – Adoption of the Daubert Standard," "Attorney Fees Post-Miles and Other Considerations," "An Overview from the First District Court’s Workers’ Compensation Unit," and "A New Decade of Professionalism and Collegiality in Workers’ Compensation." Continuing education credit for attorneys and adjusters has been applied for.
The program is free of charge for attorneys, legal staff, and adjusters. The program regularly draws a crowd, so you are encouraged to register early. With only about 6 weeks until the program, why not register today? Registration is accomplished by submitting a form to, or calling, the Workers' Compensation Institute.
