ANCA-WR AND ABA TO HOST TOWN HALL FORUM ON 9TH CIRCUIT COURT RULING
Event to explore implications of the Movsesian vs. Victoria Versicherung AG et al case
On Wednesday, March 30th the Armenian National Committee of America-Western Region (ANCA-WR) and the Armenian Bar Association (ABA) will be co-hosting a town hall forum to discuss the recent developments and implications of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals’ December 2010 ruling in Movsesian v. Victoria Versicherung AG et al.  The event will take place at the Saint Mary Armenian Church Hall in Glendale (500 S. Central Avenue) at 7:30pm.
Central to the case, is the constitutionality of a California law extending the statute of limitations to bring claims regarding Armenian Genocide era insurance policies.
The town hall revisits a similar 2009 event featuring moderator Harut Sassounian and panelists Mark Geragos, Esq., Steven Dadaian Esq., Seto Boyadjian Esq., and Edvin Minassian, Esq., Armenian Bar Association Chairman.
In light of the current procedural posture of the case, the same participants have been invited to further explore the implications of the 9th Circuit’s most recent ruling as well as implications looking forward to a possible en banc rehearing and/or petition to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Attorneys who attend the event will earn 2.0 hours of MCLE credit, at no cost.
