Critical Developments in Toxic Torts Seminar Series:
Causation and the Role of Experts in Toxic Torts

Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP
300 South Grand Ave.
22nd Floor

Are theories of causation changing—is it easier to win a tort suit today on causation grounds, or just as difficult as it always was? What is the role of experts in tort suits? Will courts remain gatekeepers of science? What have we learned now that we’ve had significant time to apply the Daubert/Kumho approach? How does the Kelly-Frye standard compare? Are subclinical effects compensable?

Speakers included:
Tom Meador, Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP
Jim Bruen, Farella, Braun + Martell, LLP
Scott DeVries, Nossaman Guthner Knox Elliott LLP
Raphael Metzger, Raphael Metzger Law Firm
Elizabeth Anderson, Ph.D, Exponent
