The Consumer Rights Litigation Conference (CRLC) is a comprehensive convening of, by, and for the entire consumer law community, with extensive networking events, substantive engagement opportunities, and 60+ detailed training courses covering every major area of consumer rights law, with sessions built for advocates at different levels of experience – from new attorneys to the most seasoned practitioners.

The Class Action Symposium is for experienced consumer class action practitioners, addressing emerging developments and evolving practices, including noteworthy judicial rulings, evidentiary challenges, proposed rules changes, developments in class administration, and new ethical issues of particular importance in complex litigation cases.

The CRLC has been a vital part of my development as a consumer advocate. Each year there is something new to learn from experts in the field – whether it’s a changing area of law, an emerging trend, or a novel legal strategy to add to my practice. But more than this, the conference is an invaluable way to connect with the smartest consumer advocates from around the country, and become part of a collaborative community that has a significant impact in the fight for consumer justice. –
