A Message From the Editor

Questions about which venue might be oppressive for a certain party can often become hotly disputed in litigation. Now the state Supreme Court is set to weigh in on questions about whether the lower courts are properly applying the standards for forum non conveniens. Our first item has details. Also, Gordon Rees is expanding in Pittsburgh with nearly a dozen lawyers from Burns White.

Thanks for reading!
