• I'm on tour with ten speaking engagements in September and October in Louisiana, Michigan, Florida, and Chicago, and perhaps another one or two to be added.


• Writings: Texas Review of Law & Politics (Tom Geoghegan's book); American Spectator (prosecutorial abuse); Liability Outlook (civil Gideon).


• Quoted: LA Weekly (mold litigation); DC Examiner (trial lawyer lobbying); West Virginia Record (corrupt attorney general, with special guest star quotes from someone else you might know).


• Litigating: GTA class action decertified, and the court adopts some of my arguments in dicta. I'm also quoted in a Fifth Circuit brief filed by the Texas Solicitor General in In re: Lease Oil Antitrust Litigation, No. 08-40125.

• I talk about the Exxon punitive damages case in the Wall Street Journal and in a Federalist Society podcast.



• I'm one of fifteen people in a gigantic roundtable on the question “What is the role of the courts in making social policy?” Edith Jones rocks.



• I'm quoted at length in the Cincinnati Enquirer about the Kentucky fen-phen fraud scandal, which I earlier wrote about for the American.

• I'm extensively quoted about the Vioxx settlement in this behind-a-subscription-firewall Product Liability Law 360 article.


• I filed an opposition brief (which I wrote myself this time) in the Grand Theft Auto litigation over the proposed class action settlement.


• The upgraded Overlawyered site now has a nifty tag system that allows my fans to subscribe to an RSS feed if one wants the Ted-Frank-oriented Overlawyered posts without the ones about non-Ted-Frank subjects. Or, just subscribe to the posts I write, but then you miss the posts Walter writes.

• In the SE Texas Record discussing the Exxon case.



• In the Hampton Roads Daily Press discussing the fantasy baseball case.



• On a Supreme Court amicus brief in Wyeth v. Levine

Acker also ruled that the law's requirement that juries
award ``not less than $100 and not more than $1,000'' for each
willful violation gives jurors no rational basis for setting
damages. That argument is weaker than the one against
disproportionate penalties, said Ted Frank, director of the
American Enterprise Institute's Legal Center for the Public
Interest in Washington.

``To date, nobody's ever said that that makes a statute void
for vagueness,'' Frank said. ...

``Congress didn't correct the underlying problem in the
statute, which is that there's no cap on the damages for a class-
action suit,'' Frank said. ``If those circuits disagree, the
Supreme Court will have to step in and shake this out.''
