Welcome to the James Humphreys Complex Litigation Center Bench-Bar Forum 2025, held in collaboration with our conference partners and speakers including members of the judiciary. Our Team looks forward to connecting with all participants at this year’s forum, scheduled for April 10-11, 2025. Additional program details will be announced in the coming weeks.

We extend our gratitude to the program’s co-chairs, Patrick Luff and Mark York, for their thoughtful collaboration in developing this year’s program. Their dedication to bringing together distinguished speakers and creating meaningful dialogue within our legal community continues to enhance the value of this forum.

We are deeply appreciative of the judges who will be taking time away from their demanding schedules to join us, as well as the litigators and experts who will share their insights into the evolving landscape of complex litigation. The opportunity to learn from such accomplished legal minds makes this event truly exceptional.

This forum would not be possible without our GW Law School hosts, whose continued partnership and dedication have been instrumental in connecting our community with leading voices in the legal industry. Their support remains vital to the success of this event.

We also express our sincere appreciation to our sponsors, whose generous support benefits the James F. Humphreys Complex Litigation Center. Your participation and attendance directly contribute to our scholarship fund, enabling us to continue supporting vital student programs.

We encourage all participants to engage actively in the upcoming discussions, share insights, and take advantage of this collaborative learning opportunity. A detailed agenda and complete speaker lineup will be shared as they are finalized.

Thank you for your participation in this year’s forum. We look forward to welcoming you in April 2025.
