We’re running out of headlines for these posts: We’ve already used “Pre-Service Removals — For The Umpteenth Time” and “Pre-Service Removals: They Keep On Coming.”
What’s a blogger to do?
Even if we’ve run out of ideas for creative headlines, we can at least do the non-creative piece of this blogging

Hot Off The Presses – Statute of Repose Defense Win in Fen-Phen Appeal
This is a Bexis only post. Herrmann represents Wyeth and doesn’t want to go on record on this.
We mentioned the Montgomery v. Wyeth case before, here. Well we’re pleased to report that the Sixth Circuit today affirmed the defense summary judgment in Montgomery, slip op. here. The moral of Montgomery is…
Wordless As The Flight Of Birds
Our stock in trade is words, but images can be more powerful.
Oddly enough, political cartoons that contain no words (and are not even funny) can be among the most powerful of all.
We loved the 1960s image (was it by Herblock?) of students protesting the Vietnam War outside the Lincoln Memorial in Washington,…

Bausch & Lomb MoistureLoc MDL Rule 702 Ruling
We try not to wear out our welcome with our subscribers by publishing multiple posts in a single day, but there’s more breaking news that we feel compelled to report today. It’s in the Bausch & Lomb ReNu with MoistureLoc MDL. (Herrmann is writing this one up alone, since Bexis’s firm is involved in the…
Rule 11 Discovery Allowed In Digitek MDL
This just in:

From Zyprexa To Aredia – Summary Judgment And Case Selection
We’ve been following with interest the recent activities in the Zyprexa litigation, since it looks like the plaintiffs in this batch of cases are dropping like flies.

We’re not sure whether the Zyprexa…
Health Care (And Tort) Reform
We may not have a sense of humor, but we can borrow Dana Summers’.

Reaction To “The Life Expectancy Of A Legal Blog”
As often happens when we blog about blogging, we became suddenly popular on Monday:
We’re purists? Who knew? (Maryland Injury Lawyer Blog)
Experiment with a dark blog for a month before announcing your blog publicly. (Legal Blog Watch)

Treating Physicians As Experts
There are subjects we just can’t touch on this blog.
First, politics: We’d annoy each other, along with half our readers.
Second, religion: Ditto.
Third, when treating physicians must be disclosed as expert witnesses or can give expert testimony at trial: If we ever touched on that subject, we wouldn’t just annoy each other; we’d…
