Fishing For Cancer, David Schoenbrod Nov 2002

Fishing For Cancer, David Schoenbrod

Other Publications

After protracted deliberations, the Environmental Protection Agency decided to dredge large quantities of sediment from the upper reach of the Hudson River in order to remove a small portion of the PCB's that came from two General Electric factories. They used these chemicals from the 1940s through the mid-1970s. The corporation will be required to pay for the clean up.

In the final section, I speculate about the changing role of the criminal defense attorney and how that evolution might hasten judicial action.
