FORUM « Lawprofs joining the Obama administration | A new National Labor Relations Board, changing directions » April 28, 2009Asbestos: the Texas-California two-step "File case in Texas. Take plaintiff deposition. Dismiss case, and refile in California."

And the courts are apparently powerless to stop this gamesmanship -- which Bruce Nye calls "indefensible" -- without help from the California legislature.
