This is a short reading that simply lists 10 tort reform initiatives. There has only ever been 1 question from this reading, <span style="color: red;">'''2012.Fall #11abc'''</span>. It dealt with the initiative on '''punitive damages'''. This is probably all you have to know.

For completeness, I created a memory trick to remember all 10 initiatives: <span style="color: red;">'''CRAP-CAN-PPJ'''</span>. I took the 1st letter of each item in the list from the reading, rearranged it to try to make a word, and that's what I came up with. If you have to take a '''CRAP''', you do it in the '''CAN'''. The '''PPJ''' part is just the leftover letters that don't make a word. Obviously you wouldn't be asked to list all 10 initiatives - it's probably enough just to know '''CRAP'''!
