- This year, we are introducing a new format for the Spring Meeting. Instead of section breakouts, we will host plenary sessions organized by section chairs, featuring topics of broad interest to our membership. Medical malpractice section members will still have the option to attend breakout sessions on Thursday afternoon and Friday morning.
- Plenary topics will include a legislative update and an appellate court update, featuring two Court of Appeals judges. Additionally, due to the success of our dine-arounds, we are excited to include them in the Spring Meeting this year.
