One thing not on the menu at this year’s CCLJ awards luncheon…

…is torte. Because it sounds too much like tort. (Sorry; just had to go there.) Even though one’s luscious and the other’s litigious, they’re still too easy to confuse. OK, to be precise, we don’t actually know what’s on the menu at the Colorado Civil Justice League‘s annual Legislative Awards Luncheon Oct. 20 in Denver; we’re just making a reasonable inference.

The business-backed, tort-reforming group, which advocates against laws it believes invite more costly litigation, will recognize state lawmakers who have been allies in the fight. They’ll receive the group’s Common Sense in the Courtroom Award.

Tickets to the event are now on sale, says a CCJL press announcement in this morning’s inbox. You can reserve your your seats here.

Guests at the luncheon also will hear from a nationally accliamed expert on tort reform. Here’s more about that from CCJL:

Featured speaker at this year’s event is Malini Moorthy, head of global litigation for Bayer Corporation, who will speak about “The Mass Tort Machine.” Moorthy is a nationally recognized expert in civil justice reform and complex litigation in the life sciences industry. Last year, she was named a Visionary Leader in Litigation by Inside Counsel magazine. She was also recognized by the National Center for Law and Economic Justice for her extraordinary service to the legal profession and nonprofit community.

And here’s the when-and-where:

A superintendent appeals for civility in advance of a potentially bruising school board race

It’s easy enough to lay blame for our caustic political climate on last year’s presidential race and its aftermath, and that no doubt is a big factor. Yet, well before the Trump-Clinton cage fight, Jefferson County voters already had grown weary of election-time acrimony in their own backyard. The perennial grudge match over control of […]
