Partners John Aspland and Lawrence Elmen attended the Defense Research Institute’s (DRI) annual civil rights and governmental tort liability seminar in San Diego on January 29th and 30th. The seminar included nationally recognized speakers addressing the successful defense of municipalities against claims under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, to include allegations of excessive force by law enforcement, in-custody inmate injuries, and wrongful termination of public employees. The seminar also provided the opportunity to meet with clients, attorneys, experts, and leaders in the public entity insurance industry to discuss upcoming trends in New York State and throughout the country in order to better respond to future litigation challenges.
