WHO NEEDS THIS BOOK? This book will be a critical tool to assist those who are new to Proposition 65, as well as to help the veterans of this challenging initiative statute in their compliance planning as well as in their decision-making in the classic settle-versus-litigate dilemma in handling an active Proposition 65 lawsuit. With this critical data, both defense practitioners and defendant companies can assess the specific, real world impact on their chemical uses, their products, and their potential posture in deciding whether to take a case to trial by evaluating their likely settlement scenarios. Proposition 65 plaintiffs can measure how defendants have handled past Proposition 65 settlements, and assess their own track record vis a vis other plaintiffs. The 2010 Settlements Encyclopedia reveals the hard, cold truth about how public and citizen enforcers (and their lawyers) assessed cases for settlement in the past, thereby giving all parties an informed eye regarding their likely future decisions.

WHY IS THIS BOOK UNIQUE? Because the 2010 Settlements Encyclopedia is an electronic book, with a word search function built into this electronic book. The reader/user can search for the exact word – any word – that you want to track, be it the name of a chemical, product, lawyer, plaintiff, or defendant’s name. With this remarkable search function, the reader/user can electronically utilize this book like an encyclopedia, wherein information can be summoned based on the reader/user’s specific needs, with a minimum of research effort.
