Read MoreBe Mindful of Your Client's Personal Story
As published in the Winter 2007 edition of the American Association for Justice Newsletter Most of us are fortunate to have received an excellent legal education. However, it is the rare law school that prepares its students to assess the merits of a case in the context of civil litigation. Case evaluation is foreign to Read More
Read MoreA Report, Though Inadmissible, Just May Be Useful
Whether it be a government report or a business record, opinions contained in those documents are not admissible in the courts of the Commonwealth.

Well, their lawyers advised them correctly because any statement – whether inculpatory, exculpatory, or indeed any remark – is admissible at a trial if made by a Read More
Read MoreNo Contingent Fee for Experts

It is common for personal injury lawyers to use a contingency fee agreement, whereby they are only paid if the plaintiff receives a settlement or award, but this practice is strictly forbidden for experts. Rule 3.4 of the Read More
Read MoreIf the Shoe Fits
Ask a law student what case stands for the proposition that a defendant needs minimum contacts with the forum state to be sued in that state, and the answer (hopefully) will be International Shoe Co. v.
