Anita Hotchkiss and H. Lockwood “Chip” Miller III, partners in Goldberg Segalla’s Product Liability and Life Sciences Practice Groups, co-authored Chapter 15 in the 2015 New Jersey Mass Torts and Class Action Treatise.

This comprehensive and peer-reviewed treatise, published by the New Jersey Institute for Continuing Legal Education, provides an in-depth examination of the substantive and procedural issues in multicounty litigation cases in which a large number of plaintiffs claim personal injuries linked to a single product.

In their chapter, titled “The Role of Preemption in Mass Tort Cases,” Anita and Chip explore a wide range of legal and regulatory issues impacting the defense of claims involving prescription drugs, medical devices, and chemicals.
