Although his post is re: a securities fraud case against University of Phoenix, it also rings true that jury trials are important for personal injury cases. Without them, who would be held accountable? Ted Frank at Points of Law.com, chimed into the jury trial discussion by adding "trials remain a risky business for both plaintiffs and defendants", in a recent post. 

Pointsoflaw.com, provided an excellent summation of the Vioxx litigation in their  vioxx roundup yesterday. They cited several cases pending trials and gave updates on Merck. All eyes are on Merck. Let's see if their proposed vioxx settlement of $4.85 billion will make the jury trials go away. In a newswire release, Merck indicated that there are 50,000 Vioxx claimants. 

Only time will tell how this saga will end. Stay tuned...
