Insights & Events

George Mason University Antonin Scalia Law School’s Law & Economics Center presents its 19th Annual Judicial Symposium on Civil Justice Issues.

This year’s Symposium will tackle a broad range of timely issues such as third-party litigation financing, the evolving role of judges in expert testimony admission, recent developments in consumer protection, the latest “super torts,” and assessing multidistrict litigation, class actions, and mass arbitrations. Legal and economic experts representing a variety of perspectives dissect and debate these topics while participating judges will have the opportunity to ask probing questions and seek insight into some of today’s most contentious legal issues.

Firm Associate Katherine E. Nolan will speak during Session II, “The Judicial Gatekeeping Role in Admissibility of Expert Testimony: Continuing Developments.”

Firm Partner Kathryn S. Jensen will participate in Session IV, “The Role of the Rigors of Causation, Traceability, and Attribution in Establishing Liability.”

Hollingsworth LLP attorneys have been speaking at the Judicial Symposium throughout the history of the event with firm founder Joe Hollingsworth being a frequent speaker as well as the first to represent the firm at this unique event.
