USLAW Live! | Maryland’s Liability Landscape: Rules, Risks and Realities with Steve Marshall

POSTED OCTOBER 14, 2026

How do contributory negligence laws and jury perceptions shape today’s litigation landscape? Steve Marshall of Franklin & Prokopik, P.C. in Maryland, newly named Chair of USLAW NETWORK’s Complex Tort and Product Liability Practice Group, joins USLAW Live! co-hosts Nick Rauch (Larson • King LLP | Minnesota/North Dakota) and Mike Judy (Dysart Taylor | Kansas/Western Missouri) to explore these issues and more. From Maryland’s pure contributory negligence rules and caps on non-economic damages to how jury psychology shapes trial outcomes, the trio shares practical insights for litigators and their clients. Steve also reflects on his USLAW journey, the value of professional relationships and his priorities as the practice group’s new leader. Tune in for a conversation blending litigation trends, strategy, leadership and a few personal stories.
