CCL President Robert S. Peck chaired the Fall Board of Overseers meeting of the RAND Institute for Civil Justice in Pentagon City, Virginia on October 22. The ICJ is a think tank that conducts empirical research of issues affecting the civil justice system. During the meeting, members of the board were treated to previews of some of that ongoing research. Former Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour spoke at the board diner that evening about his experiences in dealing with a disaster after Hurricane Katrina struck. Peck is serving an unprecedented third year as chair of the board.
