Evan Schaeffer is Speaking on Vioxx at AEI

Evan Schaeffer will be on a panel discussion on the panel discussion on the Vioxx verdict at the American Enterprise Institute. If you’re not familiar with the AEI, they are one of the leading conservative think tanks.

Notes from the program header read: 

The AEI Liability Project seeks to promote a better understanding of the scope and consequences of the liability crisis and to help ensure that political or legal reform efforts are aimed at the appropriate targets. (emphasis added).

From the AEI Liability Project Mission Statement:

Plaintiffs’ attorneys are suing on claims without tangible harms, with billions of dollars of judgments and settlements for injuries that are purely hypothetical;

Man. Billions of dollars on hypothetical claims?? That must be in another jurisdiction. Because if that was the case, I surely would have retired and would take my private jet down to the Carribean.

 Evan consistently invites dissenting opinions and voices on his blog. I admire his efforts at engaging the other side head on. Unfortunately, I don’t think there is any room for common ground. It’s not a question of finding consensus on ideas and working from there. These people are out for the destruction of the jury system. More on that later, but good luck to Evan and kudos for being a voice of reason on the panel.
