About the Committee
Toxic tort and environmental tort claims continue to be among the most challenging for the defense practitioner due to the evolution of new strategies and theories from the plaintiffs’ bar. In an effort to help the defense law bar meet these challenges, the Toxic Torts and Environmental Law Committee provides its members with the most current and reliable scientific, medical and legal information available.
The Committee fulfills this role through its annual seminar, an expert witness information sharing network, a dedicated issue of For The Defense, and by connecting practitioners with a vast network of accomplished defense attorneys.
The Committee’s annual continuing legal education seminar has proven to be the most comprehensive and high-quality seminar available for the many lawyers across the country who defend toxic tort and environmental claims. The seminar focuses on both basic and cutting-edge scientific, medical, forensic and legal issues involved in toxic tort and environmental law claims.
In addition to the annual seminar and publications, the Committee makes the most current scientific, medical and legal information available to its members through its online community, including the exchange of information about plaintiffs’ and defense experts. It ensures that Committee members have access to the most current depositions and other information on expert witnesses.
The Committee enjoys the special camaraderie of professionals dedicated to providing the best legal and scientific defense for individual clients and to the industry in general. If your practice is dedicated in whole or in part to the defense of toxic torts and/or environmental claims, you should become a member and take advantage of the benefits.
