The national Toyota Recall Litigation Conference started this morning at the Westin in San Diego, CA . The event is packed with attorneys from some of the earliest-filed Toyota cases as well as the international media. Major American news organizations like the Associated Press, the Wall Street Journal, NPR, and CBS have covered the event, alongside with members of the international media like TV Tokyo, Nippon TV and Reuters, who are live at the symposium.
Today’s agenda features some of the nation’s most preeminent attorneys, many with decades of experience handling large, complex national cases. They will speak on a number of issues pertaining to the unique circumstances of the Toyota recall and resulting litigation. The symposium is sponsored by HarrisMartin, a leading provider of Continuing Legal Education.
Richard J. Arsenault, who is co-chairing the event, spoke this morning and will be serving on panels throughout the day. Arsenault, a veteran of class action and complex litigation, has filed several lawsuits against Toyota for allegations of sudden acceleration defects in Toyota vehicles. He has been profiled in various news stories leading up to today’s symposium and tomorrow’s Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation hearing, where he will present arguments.
