New Report!
Trial Lawyers Inc: Asbestos

Trial Lawyers Inc Asbestos
The Center for Legal Policy is proud to release the newest edition of Trial Lawyers Inc. series. Asbestos, once thought to be a "magic mineral," ended up causing thousands of deaths of those exposed to the substance. Likewise, litigation that originally sought redress for the truly injured, has metastasized into a big business that recruits sham victims to beef up the plaintiffs' bar's bottom line.

PODCAST DISCUSSION
Jim Copland, senior fellow and director of the Center for Legal Policy at the Manhattan Institute, and Lester Brickman, professor at the Cordozo School of Law and renowned expert on asbestos litigation, discuss the evolution of asbestos litigation and measures that can prevent the continuation of abuses by the trial bar.
