Paul William Beltz has died. He changed the shape of New York law more than once-- he was one of those post-WWII giants. Off the top of my head I can tell you that surveillance material is discoverable in New York because of him. He established the calculation that is used under New York's future damages statute. I would be hard-pressed to think of any other one guy who had a greater effect on the law of products liability. He was close to being a force of nature around here, lighting up juries like pinball machines.
