Houston Lawyer on Liebeck

As school starts up again, many Torts profs will be encountering students whose initial reaction to the tort suit is “”Hey, like that lady who made millions from hot coffee!”  (Indeed, at orientation yesterday, I said that I suspected I could predict what a substantial percentage of students’ reactions to the term “Torts” would be.  I was right.)

So, some reading:

• The Houston Lawyer has a new-this-summer article on the subject, written by an insurance defense lawyer (via Perlmutter & Schuelke
• Overlawyered’s detailed take
• AAJ/ATLA’s response page.
