Inspired by the new book The Pain Brokers by Professor Elizabeth Chamblee Burch, this panel takes a closer look at the hidden dynamics of mass tort litigation – from the pressures and incentives that shape major cases to the real consequences for the people involved.
Bringing together leading law scholars, the conversation explores what unfolds behind the headlines and inside the courtroom, and what these complex disputes reveal about the practice and ethics of lawyering today. Professor Burch will reflect on the themes of her book and respond to questions raised during the discussion. Audient participation is encouraged.
Panelists include:
- Gilat Juli Bachar, Temple University Beasley School of Law
- Howard M. Erichson, Fordham Law School
