According to the Yale Daily News, Robert Bork, former Supreme Court nominee and fervent supporter of tort reform, has settled a $1 million lawsuit with a Yale University alumni club for injuries incurred when he fell while mounting a dais. Bork's complaint alleged that the University was negligent in not providing a handrail or stairs. Bork was formerly a Yale law professor. Another Yale professor observed that the lawsuit was evidence of Bork's resentment at not being supported by a number of former colleagues in his bid for the high court. The Yale Daily News reports that the terms of the settlement were not disclosed.
