Working in conjunction with LegalSpan, we are trying out for the first time a live Webcast CLE seminar in the area of health care litigation. We are offering this course as a single one-, two- or four-hour event or as a collection of programs totaling seven hours on Friday, Aug. 13. All programs will be viewed at the MBA office in Boston.
The programs are:
• Health Care Litigation, 9:30 a.m.-1:45 p.m.
This series, Health Care Fraud: Civil and Criminal Trial Practice, will analyze litigation resulting from the alleged abuse of the health care system. It will include Medicare and Medicaid fraud, focusing on the trial preparation skills necessary to prosecute and defend the case. A panel of expert attorneys, both defense and prosecutors, will share their experience in developing and defending these cases, pre-indictment and at trial. The panel will also include experts from the regulatory agencies responsible for oversight of these expensive federal programs who often decide whether a case is handled as civil or criminal matter.

What are the practical techniques that health care lawyers should apply to make sure they don't sacrifice too much for their client?
