Using CCP §998 Offers in Employment Discrimination Cases
About the Program

This program breaks down how plaintiffs can strategically use Code of Civil Procedure §998 offers to compromise in employment discrimination cases. It explains why §998 offers remain a powerful tool in FEHA litigation, including how they can be used to counter defense tactics aimed at limiting attorneys’ fees, establish a baseline for prejudgment interest, and formally document settlement demands. Attendees will learn practical drafting and timing strategies, key pitfalls to avoid, and how courts evaluate §998 offers in light of recent case law.
