Chairmen Picked for March 2010 Asbestos Litigation Conference

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- HB Litigation Conferences has announced
the chairmen of its annual "Emerging Trends in Asbestos Litigation" conference
scheduled for March 4-5, 2010, at the Ritz-Carlton in Marina del Rey, Calif.

Noted asbestos plaintiff attorneys John Cooney of Cooney & Conway of Chicago
and Perry Weitz of Weitz & Luxenberg of New York and well-known asbestos
defense attorney Lawrence Cetrulo of Cetrulo & Capone of Boston are chairing
the event, which was formerly branded under the Mealey's name, according to
Tom Hagy, HB's CEO.

Hagy, former editor and publisher at Mealey Publications, said HB President
and lead program developer Sharon Boothe is once again building the program,
this time with the new combination of Conway, Weitz and Cetrulo. Boothe was
the founding conference director for Mealey Conferences in 1992, a position
she held through the company's sale and evolution into HB Litigation
Conferences. Mealey Publications continues to be part of LexisNexis.

"With the combined experience and networks of our chairmen and Boothe, I am
confident that we will once again deliver what attorneys, in-house counsel and
insurers need to know and need to watch in this ever-evolving area of
litigation," Hagy said.

"We're also planning for a strong networking event," Hagy said, noting that a
limited number of free seats are available for a conference that routinely
draws over 200 attendees. Discounts are in place for qualifying attendees
that include in-house counsel, risk managers, government employees, paralegals
and groups. For more information about the "Emerging Trends in Asbestos
