This work provides insight into multi-party, multi-forum lawsuits and offers proposals for mitigating the difficulties these cases pose. Included are mass products liability litigation (asbestos and Dalkon Shield cases), common disaster cases (e.g., commercial airliner crashes and hotel fires), and certain kinds of contract and commercial cases.
