Pennsylvania Bar Institute

---

Every other spring, we offer this program designed specifically by and for the experienced workers’ compensation practitioner, to explore some of the trickiest issues. This year our faculty will tackle Fatal Claim Petitions, Utilization Reviews, Updates in the law since the Fall Section meeting, among other things. Claimants’ and defense counsel use lively point/counterpoint style to debate these tough problems. Find out how your colleagues (and opponents) across the state are handling these matters-and what judges think. In addition to focusing on specific problems, the faculty will bring you up to date with a fast paced review of other recent decisions from the Commonwealth and Supreme Courts and how they affect you, your clients and your practice.
