Civil Action Center Attorney Jan Schlichtmann was recently one of the featured speakers at the Mass Torts Made Perfect Conference in Las Vegas, NV. On each of the days Jan spoke on two topics of interest to trial lawyers and legal observers, with day one being about the exciting new use of 468b settlement trusts to pull together potential claimants on mass tort cases. It’s use has already been featured in the Danversport Explosion case and The Massachussets Public Shade Tree trust. In this video, available by just clicking on the TV box below, you can listen as Jan outlines his vision for using this approach in larger scale mass torts such as the existing Vioxx cases, but also in environmental claims and the looming anemia drug cases such as Procrit, Aranesp and Epogen.

In the second video podcast, shot on day two of the conference, Jan gives a stirring talk and a reminder to trial lawyers why the fight for justice is so crucial, and what surrendering the battle field to the tort reformers will lead too. If you have felt hopeless lately about the tort reform misinformation campaign, wonder why it is you got into the practice of law, or are a law student wondering what the road ahead is like, you need to watch this video of the REAL Civil Action Attorney, Jan Schlichtmann. This is a timeless talk that you can download or email to others.
