<abstract>In public affairs, as in sports and business, timing is critical. And many observes believe the time is right in 2005 for tort reform in America.

Legitimate and lasting solutions must come from a consensus that is grounded in broad political and public support. That is why two other key factors besides election results will affect the fate of tort reform efforts this year</abstract>
