His talk was great, but one thing struck me particularly and it was when he mentioned Tort reform and the case that comes to mind with frivolous lawsuits – the McDonald's coffee spill suit.

I had been out of town for the last few days in Las Vegas (this week is OSU's spring break), while the trip felt like a long one I was actually only there for two nights, but it felt like a pretty good length trip to the place. I had never before been to Las [...]
