Hon. David Hettick retired last week after serving more than 28 years as a workers' compensation judge. We wish Judge Hettick all the best in his retirement!
A legal expert recently explained that there's a form and process that lawyers have to use to articulate their arguments to move things forward and that it shapes the content of what they say--form shapes content. A brilliant jurist is someone who can push the form in order to accommodate new content and new ideas. We think David Hettick is one such jurist. He will be greatly missed. We are fortunate that he will continue to serve on the LexisNexis California Workers' Compensation Editorial Board and the LexisNexis California WCAB Noteworthy Panel Decisions Advisory Board. There he will continue to help all of us navigate the complexities of SB 863. |
