Abstract
For a period of five years beginning in 1981, I conferenced or tried most of the medical malpractice cases in the Supreme Court of New York County, perhaps the busiest trial court in the United States. The editors of this book have asked that I use that experience to discuss the issues most frequently raised by physicians in the troublesome area of medical malpractice litigaton—alleged excessive awards and meritless suits.
