Wage Law

U.S. District Court Judge Alicemarie Stotler shall be the next Chief Judge of the U.S. District Court, Central District of California. We like Judge Stotler, because, although she is a painstaking stickler for the rules, she imposes the same serious standards on both plaintiff and defense. She also presided over my first jury trial in Federal Court, a small Fair Debt Collection Practices Act case in which we won an $18,000 verdict after we offered to settle for $12,000 and the defense offered only to remind us that we had no case whatsoever. The firm in that case is currently defending one of our wage and hour class actions, and we are whipping them again. But I digress.

On Thursday, October 6th, there will be a reception to honor Judge Alicemarie Stotler at the Sutton Place Hotel in Newport Beach. Contact the Orange County Bar Association if you are interested in further details.
