"This is a very much needed text. To understand the current state of products liability law, Mr. Blocher impressively catalogues in a readable way its common law origins, subsequent decades of development by the courts, and present statutory modifications. This is an area of law that can be intimidating, but Mr. Blocher’s comprehensive treatment of the subject provides a guiding light for any practitioner."
Brett A. Eckstein | Attorney | CANNON & DUNPHY S.C.
*****************************************************************
"This book provides a succinct and balanced review of what Wisconsin Product Liability law is, was, and how it came to be. I heartily recommend it to any practitioner who is handling a products case under Wisconsin law."
Mark Kircher | Partner | Quarles & Brady LLP
*****************************************************************
"The Strict Products Liability analysis should be required reading for any attorney involved in the field, but it is also enjoyable reading for anyone interested in products liability. The material is clearly written yet comprehensive. It will serve as a first stop for attorneys brushing up on products liability topics as well as a steady resource for those trying or defending products liability cases. This text is highly recommended."
