About the Program

This program offers a nuanced, step-by-step roadmap of the civil litigation process—from the initial filing of a complaint through post-judgment. The program will highlight key procedural phases, and the specific undertakings that make up each phase. It will address strategic decision points, common and uncommon issues that arise in typical civil cases, and how they all relate and impact each other.

Meet the Speakers
Christopher Bulone

|

Dordick Law Corporation

Christopher Bulone is a fast-rising star in California courtrooms, achieving record results for his clients. A 2011 graduate of the public interest-focused University of San Francisco School of Law, Mr. Bulone has dedicated his career to tirelessly advocating for the most downtrodden against the world’s most powerful corporations.

In 2024 alone, Mr. Bulone secured a $2,500,000 jury verdict in Van Nuys, believed to be a courthouse record for a mild traumatic brain injury, and a $42,000,000 verdict in a vicarious liability delivery truck versus auto case involving a severe traumatic brain injury. He also won $15,000,000 against CalTrans for a negligently constructed highway, $7,700,000 for a man injured by a fire engine entering an intersection on a red light, and $18,700,000 for a man struck by a park ranger while napping in a park. Additionally, he argued that a $100,000 insurance policy limit was “opened” due to bad faith, recovering $5,000,000 for a child injured by a driver running a stop sign.

In 2023, Mr. Bulone was recognized as one of the Top 40 Lawyers Under 40 by The Daily Journal, California’s premier legal newspaper since 1888.
