I'd like to thank two wonderful leaders in the fight for sane civil justice for agreeing to guest blog here at Point of Law over the next week.

Al Adomite of the Illinois Civil Justice League is in the trenches in perhaps the most notorious tort jurisdiction in the country: Madison County, Illinois. Those of us following the shenanigans in that jurisdiction owe much to Al's fine work on the ICJL blog. Al even recently was elected a Madison County alderman!

Gail Heriot is a professor at the University of San Diego School of Law. The law/politics blog junkies among us know Gail from her postings over at The Right Coast. Professor Heriot is a leader in the Federalist Society and a longstanding academic supporter of tort reform.

I hope you're as excited about these guests as I am!
