- Parking While Black: $11M Civil Rights Verdict After Action Review
A mother and her two daughters were handcuffed and detained for nearly an hour in a parking lot while doing absolutely nothing wrong. No probable cause. No matching description. No apology. In this After Action Review, trial lawyers Craig Peters, Joseph May, and Brian Gearinger walk us through how they built and won the $11 million Loggervale civil rights case - a case centered not on violence, but dignity, narrative clarity, and truth. The team breaks down everything: wrongful detention, trial prep, biased policing, jury impact, Monell claims, qualified immunity, and post-trial strategy. This is a rare look at how a team of committed lawyers turned a quiet injustice into a national message - and got the county to pay, to the penny.
Closing argument: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1DPGixghllCLjm6UseYSQsZg0oq0JT01-/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=107445594696585138838&rtpof=true&sd=true

32 min - Mediation Masterclass: Debra Bogaards’ Expert Strategies for Resolving Cases
This Part III of this conversation.If you missed Part II, make sure to stream it first:
- Youtube: https://youtu.be/XveC4Y85ACYSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/7Fho4MxRrCX85MFNiSRMjl?si=n6C-i2CISgKrUpUcIpcWDA

Debra pivoted from her career as a talented trial lawyer handling both plaintiff and defense cases into full-time mediation. She brings that trial lawyer preparation and focus to her mediation practice meeting all types of cases.
Debra also serves on the faculty for UCL Law, SF, formerly known as UC Hastings, College of the Law, teaching negotiation and settlement. As someone who's been on the other side of Deborah in litigation as well as a participant in her mediations, I can attest to her quick study capabilities in identifying the key issues in the heart of a dispute.
Her meticulous preparation includes working with the parties in advance to make sure the work has been done and the right decision makers will be there. For us, her advance work has led to cases resolving for policy limits before the mediation even occurs. We discussed Debra's approach to cases before, during, and after a session and how to set the sage for success.
So please sit back and enjoy this wonderful and expansive conversation with the inevitable Debra Bogaards.
