A concerted effort by the business community to have federal law preclude, or "pre-empt," state personal injury laws and other regulations has arrived en masse at the U.S. Supreme Court this term, with the justices to review at least five cases involving the issue.

A concerted effort by the business community to have federal law preclude, or “pre-empt,” state personal injury laws and other regulations has arrived en masse at the U.S. Supreme Court this term.
The justices have agreed to decide five pre-emption cases that involve products liability, transportation of dangerous substances, labor and other areas, and they have asked the U.S. solicitor general for his views on a sixth case seeking review.
