Here is a sampling of quotations from Cornell University faculty, students and staff that have appeared recently in the national and international news media:

"The debate is really about what kind of culture we want to have in America. A lot of deep political issues get discussed through tort law language."

--Douglas Kyser, assistant professor of law, Cornell Law School, discussing the national debate over President George W. Bush's move to limit the dollar amount of court awards in class-action and other lawsuits, dubbed tort reform by some, in Business Week March 14.
