The trial concluded with closing arguments from both sides. Klein’s attorney said Bernardo’s emails misrepresented Klein and hurt his ability to attract new clients, adding that Madsen’s estimate of damages was conservative.

Attorneys for the UC Regents and Bernardo said there was no evidence that showed Klein’s administrative leave was the “substantial factor” in his lost income, contending instead that Klein’s own actions were to blame.
