A Message From the Editor

The state-created danger doctrine sets a high bar for plaintiffs seeking to hold public agencies accountable for negligence, and the case of a high-profile rape on a SEPTA train that caught national attention failed to surpass it. That's according to a federal judge who dismissed the lawsuit. Also, wanting to take advantage of Eckert Seaman's established IP bench, the IP leader of Dentons' Pittsburgh branch has jumped firms, taking a sizable group with him.

Thanks for reading!
