Don't Spill the Coffee!


Members were treated to an exciting program by Attorney Kevin W. Ryan, who presented an overview of the case, Liebeck v. McDonald's Restaurant, the now-famous, 'McDonald's hot coffee lawsuit.'  Mr. Ryan tested both our collective and individual knowledge of the case with nearly 20 multiple choice questions on his PowerPoint presentation.  For the most part, Club members were seemingly more knowledgable about the case that was filed in 1993.

If you missed the meeting and/or would like to know more about this very interesting case, read from the Journal of Consumer & Commercial Law, "And Now, The Rest of the Story ... The McDonald's Coffee Lawsuit," by Kevin G. Cain.

Mr. Ryan is a trial attorney for the local firm,Michie Hamlett Lowry Rasmussen & Tweel, PLLC.
