The Loyola Law School Health

The Loyola Law School Health Care Law Society, the Dean and law faculty are hosting a presentation on tort reform by Donald Palmisano, M.D., J.D., President-Elect of the American Medical Association. The presentation will be on Friday March, 28, 2003 at 3:00 p.m. in the Board Room of Greenville Hall. A reception will follow.

This should be a fascinating presentation in light of recent federal efforts to establish a national tort reform program. See here for a link to a Times-Picayune article discussing the possible effect of such legislation in Louisiana. Further, this NPR story probes the link between big jury awards, rising malpractice premiums and interest rates.
