About This Event

While Congress has failed to enact meaningful tort reform in the last four years, individual states have passed a surprising number of reforms. Even states containing the so-called "hellhole jurisdictions" like Texas, Mississippi, and Ohio are moving to curb the tort explosion. What has happened exactly? What are these states up to? Panelists at this event will review pending state reforms and will examine the potential and the limitations of state-based reforms.
