More On Obama And Tort Reform

I wanted to follow up my last post on Obama and tort reform with several new stories on the issue.

The National Law Journal has a story out today looking at proposed changes to the legal system.  Among the items that they predict will get a look under the new administration are bills eliminating binding pre-dispute arbitration agreements, preemption, and pro-employee changes to employment litigation.

Bill Childs over at TortsProf also has a look at the Obama administration and preemption.

Jane Genova asks whether Emanuel can keep Obama from tilting left on tort reform.

Saturday, the AP also had a story out about potential Obama judicial appointments

Saturday's Houston Chronicle looks at several legal system changes that might result from the Obama administration, including preemption, Guantanamo Bay trials, and judicial appointments.

I'm obviously interested in this topic so I may try and keep the updates coming, time permitting.

UPDATE:

Another look at Rahm Emanuel's record, from Point of Law.  Sorry for missing that Walter.
