TOLLING AGREEMENTS Stephen C. RubinoSeptember 13th, 2006
Adults survivors of early childhood sexual abuse are pursuing their legal remedies in ever- increasing numbers. As a result, practice in this area of tort law has become emotionally charged for both the attorney and the client, presenting daunting procedural issues, social policy arguments and expensive factual investigation.
