I am currently reworking my next article, The Private Market for Specious Claims. The current abstract can be found here, and I invite comments from anyone with an interest in mass torts and asbestos litigation, including those who may not ordinarily read academic articles in this area. During the preparation of my last article, some of the most insightful and challenging comments came from practitioners and nonlawyers who are active in this area. Please let me know if you would like a copy of the next draft when it becomes available. Thanks!
