Abstract

In courtroom drama, the spotlight rarely falls on an empty chair. That may change, due to a new Colorado statute allowing factfinders to consider the negligence or fault of nonparties in tort actions. The new statute may not give nonparties starring roles in every trial, but it will certainly thicken the plot.
