As mentioned, I spent Monday attending the fourth annual Legal Reform Summit in Washington, D.C., an event co-sponsored by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Institute for Legal Reform, the American Tort Reform Association, the Business Roundtable, the Doctors Company of Napa, Calif., and law firms Jenner & Block and Mayer Brown, Rowe & Maw. I gave a short talk on the subject of “who’s next as a target of mass litigation?”, which correspondent Mark Hofmann of Business Insurance magazine wrote up on the magazine’s web journal (“Employers face new wave of lawsuits”, Sept. 22).

I was also surprised and gratified, at the Summit’s awards luncheon, to be named the recipient of its annual “Individual Achievement Award”. The engraved glass award is now sitting on my desk even as I type. Many thanks to all concerned!
