Overlawyered: Chronicling The High Cost Of Our Legal System

The Ted Frank law-school tour (new dates added!)

(Updated from July 30 post with new dates.)  I’m going outside the Beltway, and may be in your neighborhood, to speak at a variety of Federalist Society chapters:

  • September 3, Loyola Law School, New Orleans (obesity litigation)
  • September 4, LSU Law School (obesity litigation)
  • October 13, Ave Maria Law School (Is Overlawyering Overtaking Democracy?)
  • October 14 (new date!), University of Michigan Law School (debate with Professor Steven Croley)
  • October 15, DePaul University Law School (class action settlements)
  • October 16, University of Chicago Law School (class action settlements and Grand Theft Auto)
  • October 16, Chicago-Kent College of Law (obesity litigation)
  • October 21, Florida State University College of Law (TBD)
  • October 22, University of Florida Levin College of Law (TBD)
  • October 23, Stetson University College of Law (TBD)

Please do suggest my name to your local Federalist Society chapter (or ACS chapter or what-have-you) if you wish me to speak at your law school. (And if your law school is in the Chicago or New Orleans metropolitan areas, now’s a good time to free-ride off of what your neighbors have already scheduled and help save the Federalist Society money. Otherwise I’ll just use the free time to visit local casinos.)

  • When you’re in the Chicago area you could visit Fright Fest at Six Flags Great America. Not a law school, not a casino, but fun nonetheless.

  • If you want to speak at my school, say the word. I’m a member of both the ACS and the Federalist Society, and am good friends with leaders of both.

  • Sweet! I’ll be there.

  • I’m president of the FSU chapter and I’d love to do a tort reform related event. I’m a big fan of this blog.

    Only one problem, Tallahassee isn’t exactly close to NOLA.

  • @2: If the MSU Fed Soc wants me there Oct. 14, it’s easy enough for me to make the arrangement to fly out a day earlier.

    @4: I’m happy to do a separate Florida swing, Jim. Drop me an e-mail, and we can talk.

  • The next time that you are in the NY area, possibly for your case pending in the SDNY, you should speak to the Federalist Society here or on Long Island.

  • I’ll get in touch with the Fed Soc guys next week when I’m back in Lansing.
