Legal correspondent Adam Liptak quotes me in a Sunday Week in Review piece on the prospect that lawyers, restrained from asking for unlimited non-economic damages, will instead seek and obtain higher economic damages from juries. I should make clear for the record, by the way, that despite my quoted remark expressing one reason to be skeptical that such limits can be readily gotten around, I haven’t yet seen Columbia law prof Catherine Sharkey’s forthcoming paper, and intend to keep an open mind about it. (Adam Liptak, “Go Ahead. Test a Lawyer’s Ingenuity. Try to Limit Damages”, New York Times, Mar. 6).
