MAJOR BREAKTHROUGH -
Assoc. of Trial Lawyers of America conduct seminar:
"Mercury Silver Dental Fillings as the Next Mass Tort"
March 9, 2004
In a major breakthrough for our movement, the Association of Trial Lawyers of America, the nation’s premier organization of the best courtroom lawyers, conducted a seminar entitled "Mercury Silver Dental Fillings as the Next Mass Tort. Conducting the seminar was the “first string” team in our movement: lawyers Shawn Khorrami (Los Angeles), Sandy Duffy (Portland, OR), and Bubba Grimsley (Birmingham, AL), and Professor Boyd Haley (U. of Ky.). Charlie Brown, national counsel of Consumers for Dental Choice, was the moderator. Held on March 9, 2004, it was a telephone seminar, so lawyers all over the country participated. Details: www.atla.org/cle_con/cledirect/courses/mercury.aspx. Consumers for Dental Choice expresses its appreciation to the Trial Lawyers Association (ATLA) for organizing such a splendid event.
Charlie Brown said: “This development puts every dentist in America on notice that if they continue to place mercury fillings in children or young women, they may well end up in a court of law to explain why they placed toxic mercury that could, or did, harm the developing brain of a child or fetus.”
