The civil justice system in the United States is in a constant state of flux. Changes occur at both the state and federal levels, through both legislative and judicial actions. At the same time, judges face a constant barrage of new and innovative legal theories and procedural maneuvers. The LEC’s annual Judicial Symposium on Civil Justice Issues aims to help judges make sense of America’s rapidly changing civil justice environment.

This year’s Symposium will tackle a broad range of timely issues such as third party litigation financing; the evolving role of judges in expert testimony admission; recent developments in consumer protection; the latest “super torts;” and assessing multi-district litigation, class actions, and mass arbitrations. Legal and economic experts representing a variety of perspectives will dissect and debate these topics, while participating judges will have the opportunity to ask probing questions and seek insight into some of today’s most contentious legal issues.
