Mass Torts: State of the Art : Mass Torts Lawyer & Attorney : Vorys, Sater, Seymour & Pease Law Firm : Toxic Torts & Wrongful Death

For want of an exit the restroom was lost

For want of a restroom decorum was lost

For want of decorum a tree was sought

Sadly the use of his leg was thus lost

And all for the want of an exit ramp

To the followers of Mass Torts:  State of the Art, apologies for our absence. Summer was unusually hectic and this fall has been a nightmare. 

We were out the end of last week to attend and to speak at the DRI annual meeting in Washington. Here's our PowerPoint from the presentation on the Restatement (Third) re: duty, risk and causation (and how, and why, it got all mixed up).  If you find some or all of it helpful feel free to use it. Attribution is always appreciated.
