A Message From the Editor

A Philadelphia jury slammed a trucking company with a punitive damages verdict more than 20 times the compensatory award. Our first item has more. Also, we bring you a remembrance of JoAnne Epps, Temple University's acting president and former law dean, who was a mentor and role model for many in the legal community.

Thanks for reading!
