Cornell Law Review will be hosting its 2024 symposium, Mass Torts Inferno: New Battle Lines in the Resolution Debate, on September 20, 2024 in Ithaca, New York. Modern mass torts involve hundreds of thousands of victims affected by various types of tortious conduct ranging from sexual abuse and asbestos exposure to opioid trafficking. This symposium brings together diverse scholars to address the new, non-class aggregate litigation strategy that is reshaping the field. It also seeks to create a dialogue among scholars and practitioners of tort law, bankruptcy law, civil procedure, and constitutional law. The law review is proud to partner with Andrew Bradt, Sergio Campos, Zachary Clopton, Alexandra Lahav, and Samir Parikh to present this event.  

For those interested in attending, please contact Griffin Perrault at gp344@cornell.edu.
