SYDNEY / MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA--Jean M. Lawler is slated to speak at the Defense Research Institute’s (DRI) International Liability Conferences, being held on November 8 in Sydney and November 10 in Melbourne. The conferences will address growing fears that the frivolous lawsuits plaguing US courtrooms will head to Australia and the Pacific Rim, and will set out to equip lawyers with litigation tips to combat the potential suits costing corporations billions of dollars in punitive damages awards each year.

Ms. Lawler will speak on, “What’s Hot and What’s Not in the USA--Trends and Latest Cases.”
