Innovative PAGA Research
As an authority in the fields of mediation and employment law, Steve contributes through scholarly research, publications, speaking engagements, and mentorship programs.
His most recent project, the first and only study of its kind, provides an empirical analysis of trial results in PAGA (Private Attorneys General Act) cases. Steve has been collecting PAGA Labor Code judgments for years to analyze what happens when these cases go to trial. His article "PAGA at 20: What Happens When Cases Go to Trial", presents his findings and offers valuable insights into California's complex wage and hour litigation landscape.
