If you’re not visiting my other site — or subscribing to it in your RSS reader, or following its Twitter feed — here’s some of what you may have missed lately:

• Sen. Obama’s “I voted for tort reform” talk: maybe not so serious;
• Assaults on arbitration and pre-emption are just the start of the Litigation Lobby’s big plans for next year;
• A new featured column by Richard Epstein on the peculiarly named Employee Free Choice Act;
• Manhattan Institute’s Trial Lawyers, Inc. project is out with a new report on West Virginia;
• U.S. Department of Commerce: foreign investors fear our litigation climate;
• Albany plaintiff’s firm Powers & Santola ladles out campaign money to judges it practices before;
• Through the wringer? Judge Posner is quite severe on a clothes-dryer class action.
