Objection! Focusing on Fraud and Abuse in Litigation

At the U.S. Chamber Institute for Legal Reform’s 11th Annual Legal Reform Summit on October 27, 2010, this panel discussed instances of fraud and abuse highlighting recent cases such as Illinois Central Railroad and Dole v. Tellez.

At the event, ILR also released “Litigating in the Field of Dreams: Asbestos Cases in Madison County, Illinois,” a paper analyzing asbestos litigation trends in the perennially problematic jurisdiction of Madison County, Illinois. The paper's author, James L. Stengel, Managing Director of the Litigation Division at Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP, participated in the panel.

Other panelists included Daniel J. Mulholland, a partner at Forman Perry Watkins Krutz & Tardy LLP and Jonathan C. Drimmer, a partner at Steptoe & Johnson LLP. The panel was moderated by Harold H. Kim, the Senior Vice President for Legal Reform Initiatives at the U.S. Chamber Institute for Legal Reform.
