10:30 a.m. No. 49S04-1203-CT-135. After a jury in this medical malpractice action awarded Plank $8.5 million in damages, the trial court granted Community’s motion to reduce the award to conform to the Medical Malpractice Act’s cap on damages and entered judgment in the reduced amount. On cross-appeals, the Court of Appeals affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded for an evidentiary hearing on Plank’s constitutional challenges to the statutory cap on damages.
With all due respect, Rick, I think you probably would be making a mistake by going to law school. The job market for attorneys is so saturated, you may well find yourself unemployed and with a lot of debt. You mention law would be a good supplement to your skills. True. But employers unfortunately don't value that. You will find that a law degree may well pigeonhole you into an attorney slot and limit career options. If you have a good job now I would hold onto that. As an attorney, you may well end up making less with the aforementioned debt.
Jack, I was only responding to bill's comment of tying everybody in government together. I agree with you though, it takes one bad apple to ruin the bunch.. As in any profession. What's truly unfair is when somebody violates someone's trust and takes complete advantage of someone
John’s comment is unfair. The majority of attorneys can be trusted. Unfortunately, all it takes is one greedy, unscrupulous, immoral attorney to jade the public.
In regards to bill's comment about trusting the cover meant. We can trust them about as much as we can trust attorneys'.
This is disturbing to learn...
