Good company; corporate counsel can influence ABA policies - as members

Article Abstract:

The ABA Section of Business Law is a way for corporate counsel to become involved in areas of concern outside their own practice, and a topical undercurrent at the 1999 conference was the desire that the association change its tort reform position. The ABA is against broad federal pre-emption of tort law, although it supports certain state tort law changes in areas such as punitive damages, joint and several liability and jury verdicts.
