As a full time benefits litigator, the ACI ERISA Litigation Conference, which I have twice co-chaired, is clearly the best continuing legal education program addressing complex benefits litigation issue. The program features leading practitioners and judicial officers whom are actually facing cutting edge issues. Unlike other programs which feature the same itinerary every year, ACI conferences are carefully planned and tailored to address the most pressing topics.
