For those of our readers with access to the Law360 universe, my partner Hildy Sastre and I just published an article on Important Product Liability Practice Trends To Watch In 2022.

In honor of Punxsutawney Phil we venture predictions for the year ahead. The last year has seen several important legal developments relevant to product liability, including in the areas of personal jurisdiction, preemption and class action procedure. This year promises interesting developments in these same subject areas.
