Punitive Damages Symposium

On September 7, 2007, the upstart Charleston School of Law is hosting a one-day symposium on the topic of Punitive Damages, Due Process and Deterrence after Philip Morris.  It's hard to imagine a more enjoyable American city than Charleston, SC, so I do envy those prawfs who will be propounding their views that day, including, among others, Tony Sebok, Keith Hylton, Neil Vidmar, and Cathy Sharkey.  Sadly, I won't be able to go to hear them, but now that the summer conference circuit is over and I've had the chance to workshop aspects of Retributive Damages in a few places, I'm looking forward to sharing my tentative thoughts here on Prawfs about many of the issues that will come up on the Charleston agenda.
