This week's top stories

In my opinion, this week's top story was the surge of tort reform initiatives. It started last week when the President commented on medical malpractice during his State of the Union Address (see here and here) and continued with news of a new tort reform law in Wisconsin (here and here), a speech in New York (here) and a bill before Congress (here, and here). For more on the most important tort law stories of the week, go here for the list at the TortsProf Blog and here for today's installment at the Abnormal Use blog.
