How has Chapter 90 changed medical reporting regulations? Is the multidistrict litigation proceedings a savior, or a sinkhole? Do fewer cases always mean lower revenue? These questions and more will be discussed by a lineup of legal experts on Wednesday, Sept. 13 in a Webcast produced by the State Bar of Texas: “Toxic Tort Litigation and the Effects of Tort Reform.”

James L. Ware of Pappas Grubbs Price, P.C. will be one of four lead faculty members in the Webcast, joining other attorneys from Houston and Dallas. Participants can obtain two hours of Miminum Continuing Legal Education (MCLE) credit.

“The growth of the Internet has given the legal profession incredible opportunities for sharing knowledge and reaching out to the legal community,” Ware said. “This Webcast is very timely. Tort litigation and reform is currently one of the most significant factors affecting the legal system in Texas.”
