Less than 1: PM Edition, June 19



This evening on Less than 1: the Los Angeles County Bar Association installs a new president and honors judges and legal leaders at its annual dinner. Also: a jury awards $1.9 million in punitive damages against an Orange County family after finding they treated a shared real estate company as a personal piggy bank -- with the case's origins in a family dispute over the eldest daughter's choice of marriage. And: a Berkeley law professor sues to force ICE to release deportation data on an eight-day turnaround. Plus: San Diego police lawsuit payouts have topped $116 million over the past decade, including a $30 million settlement over the killing of a 16-year-old.
