I got my new job. I'm quite pleased. I'll be contracted to work for the Wyoming Healthcare Commission and assisting with the research and data organization related to a study developing an alternative to traditional tort compensation. Not tort reform, most of what people want there is just a club aimed in the wrong direction. I don't know much yet, but I'm looking forward to get into the research. It appears that in time, I may become an expert on alternative compensation systems in medical malpractice.
Someone, I think it may have been Evan or maybe Federalist no. 84 mentioned that the way to get a well-read blog is to become an expert in a specialized field. I don't know of any blogs with this particular focus, so maybe in a while I'll start an additional blog around these issues. When I know enough to start a constructive dialogue.
Anyway, I have work to do if I want to go see HLS Prof. Randall Kennedy speak tonight.
