The Assumption of Risk Defense in Real Life - Online Classroom

5:00-6:30pm via Zoom Meeting
Meeting link will be sent to registered attendees on the day of the session.

The sessions will be more discussion based with the lecture component in the beginning and more open format (audience participation) toward the end. As of now, breakout rooms will not be used. 

You know the phrase “assumption of risk,” but how does it apply when a lawsuit is filed? Find out in this small group exercise led by outdoor recreation attorney Brian Augenthaler. Attendees will be provided with the legal underpinnings and elements of the assumption of risk defense and then broken up into the small groups to discuss real life cases. We will then reconvene to share predictions of how the court ruled and close with a discussion of what actually happened.

Brian Augenthaler is a shareholder with Keating, Bucklin, & McCormack, Inc. P.S. His practice includes outdoor recreation defense litigation. Representative clients include the American Alpine Institute, the University of Washington and Harborview Medical Center, and a variety of ski areas.
