The beginning of the 1990s saw the reunification of East and West Germany, the launch of the Hubble Space Telescope, the release of Nelson Mandela, and the world’s very first web page. So much has changed since then, and the practice of law is no exception. Three trends have dominated the practice of law, and personal injury law in Texas. These are tort reform, judicial activism, and technology.
Tort reform is more than legislative changes to our laws. It is a political movement driven by special interest groups, and it’s transformed not only the practice of personal injury law, but also the attitudes of jurors and judges.
