San Fernando Valley Bar Association Mandatory Fee Arbitration training programs are for all prospective and current volunteers who are interested in arbitrating attorney-client fee disputes for SFVBA’s Mandatory Fee Arbitration Program. Other California Mandatory Fee Arbitration Programs may give credit for SFVBA’s training program. Check with your local program for reciprocity.

For lawyers, SFVBA training programs include regular CLE credit and ethics credit.

The training provides the basic training required to serve on the Mandatory Fee Arbitration Program’s fee arbitration panel. Non-lawyer (lay) arbitrators, in addition to attorneys, are encouraged to undergo this training and join SFVBA’s Mandatory Fee Arbitration Program.

Live trainings are available from time to time. On-demand online training is available any time. For upcoming live training dates, check the SFVBA calendar or call the SFVBA MFA program at (818) 227-0490.
