The first edition of this book was published almost ten years ago to provide a useful guide on construction defect law in the United States. The goal was to provide a useful analytical framework and starting point for research of specific issues confronting practitioners and their clients. The editors of the current edition have endeavored to achieve that same goal here.
The three characteristics of the first edition remain unchanged. First, the book is organized to allow the reader to identify a construction defect issue and then follow the trail to meaningful discussion and research in several ways--by type of construction defect, by party, by type of claim, and by theory of liability or defense. Second, it provides guidance in specific areas of concern, such as insurance, limitations defenses, damages, dispute resolution, and preparing and presenting a case. Finally, the authors were selected for their expertise in the subject matters covered by their chapters, as well as for the diversity of the clients they represent.
The law on construction defects is dynamic and continually evolving. New statutes and court decisions frequently change the landscape. This book gives the readers a representative sampling of these and many other issues, along with references that will guide them with information about a jurisdiction of interest.

In addition, she has extensive experience drafting and negotiating contracts and has years of experience as a neutral as a mediator or an arbitrator. Sue also has represented lawyers in connection withethics-related issues for more than 20 years.

She has represented owners (hospitals, pharmaceutical manufacturers, research universities, real estate developers and homeowners), contractors and suppliers in litigation and other dispute resolution proceedings and processes in connection with every type of construction-related claim including defect claims, liens, and delay and interference claims. Sue also devotes a substantial part of her practice to representing parties, especially owners, in negotiating and drafting agreements of all types relating to construction projects. She is familiar with the Consensus DOCS and the form agreements published by the AIA and the EJCDC and has provided many clients (owners and contractors) with advice concerning modification of form agreements to satisfy the client’s particular needs. In addition, Sue has significant experience preparing project-specific agreements. She has assisted multiple owner clients (including hospital systems, pharmaceutical companies and regional banks) in developing master agreements with preferred construction and design professionals for design, construction and design build services.

She has received certificates from the National Institute for Trial Advocacy and the Center for Mediation in Law. She is also a charter member of the National Academy of Distinguished Neutrals, an invitation-only professional association for mediators and arbitrators who are well established as trusted neutrals in the legal community.
