LOS ANGELES SMALL CLAIMS PUBLIC HEARING INDICATION OF INTEREST

The hearing room in Los Angeles has a limited numbers of seats for participants and observers. Therefore, each participating entity may designate only one individual to represent it on a particular hearing panel, although the entity may designate a different individual for each different panel the entity requests to attend. The Office will attempt to accommodate preferences to the greatest extent possible while allowing for a maximum number of viewpoints.

If interested in participating in one or more hearing panels, please provide the information requested in the below form. If more than one individual seeks to participate on behalf of a particular entity, each such individual should complete and submit a participation form. Forms should be submitted electronically through this website no later than November 21, 2012 by filling out the below information and clicking on the “submit” button. If an individual is unable to submit the form electronically, please contact Catherine Rowland at [email protected] for instructions.

Note: Use this form only to indicate that you wish to participate in a hearing. For observation without participation, the Office will provide public seating on a first come, first serve basis on the day of the hearing(s). Because space is limited and to allow for a diverse audience, we ask that entities limit observers to one per panel.
