Opinion: The Next Step After Cortez and Hyundai

The Texas Supreme Court has issued two opinions that redefine what voir dire inquiries are proper and when a trial court can properly strike a venire member for cause. But one step is missing in the court's analysis: What happens when a trial court strikes a venire member for cause due to his or her answer to an improper evidence-weighing question?

FDA strategy would pre-empt tort suits

Under the Bush administration, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has adopted a novel legal strategy that would, if successful, leave many consumers claiming injury from pharmaceuticals or medical devices with no recourse to tort law, critics and attorneys charge. That strategy is pre-emption, basically the nullification of state actions that conflict with or supplement FDA decisions.
