Some Reflections on the Future of Mass Torts
Schuck, Peter
Schuck, Peter
Abstract
This conference, as I understand it, is meant to be an exercise in expert prognostication. Such an exercise is a welcome diversion from the more familiar but daunting tasks of trying to understand the congeries of problems that mass tort adjudication has bequeathed to us, and then figuring out how best to clean up the mess; particularly the need to compensate deserving victims while marshalling the requisite corporate and governmental resources for doing so.
