Mesothelioma: Diagnosis and Attribution

Seventh Annual Advanced American Law Institute-American Bar Association (ALI-ABA) Course of Study — Asbestos Litigation: The Changing Landscape

October 12, 2007

8:30 AM - 9:30 AM CDT

Schiff Hardin partner Eliot S. Jubelirer present on "Mesothelioma: Diagnosis and Attribution" at the Seventh Annual Advanced American Law Institute-American Bar Association (ALI-ABA) Course of Study — Asbestos Litigation: The Changing Landscape taking place in New Orleans, La. on Oct. 11-12.

Mesothelioma is notoriously hard to diagnose. This session will examine the following questions:

  • What are the pitfalls in determining whether a cancer is a diffuse malignant mesothelioma?
  • What are the gold standard tests for making that diagnosis, and what tests are questionable?
  • If the expert knows the disease is mesothelioma, is the asbestos connection clear?
  • What is needed to make a reliable connection with asbestos in a mesothelioma case?
  • What are the issues?
