America’s system of civil law is by and large broken. A significant expansion of mass tort litigation in recent years, driven by bad actors who have abused the law, has created a system that more often serves as a lucrative industry for trial attorneys rather than an effective means of achieving justice or resolving genuine grievances.

As companies, plaintiffs, and courts all struggle with the logistics of handling these complex cases, a critical question has arisen: Where should they be heard to ensure that businesses still receive a fair trial and that victims can secure timely and equitable outcomes? Texas, as evidenced by recent developments in talcum powder lawsuits (sometimes referred to as “talc litigation”), stands out as an optimal venue for resolving such cases.
