  Several educational programs have been arranged and
still others are in the planning stage. We are co-spon-

Compensation  Section. One program deals with the
technology of trial preparation and will cover such

application of computers and other electronic devices. It
will feature speakers who not only will be interesting,
but who also are experts in their fields. The other joint
program with the Insurance Section will be an update of
a program on Arbitration for the General Practitioner
which Was so well received in Honolulu.

Actions Committee of our Section, is putting together a
program on  class actions which will undoubtedly be
