Dr. Ronald B. Standler
attorney in Massachusetts
and consultant
I do two different kinds of work in law:
- I do consulting to attorneys, principally on scientific evidence in
torts involving technology, for example:
- electrical surges or "power quality".
I have experience with both the design and application of surge-protective devices:
surge arresters and surge suppressors, which are also known in the USA as
"transient voltage surge suppressors" (TVSS).
- law of meteorology
(e.g., lightning,
cloud seeding, liability for negligent weather forecasts)
- computer hardware and software, including misuse of computers
- products liability
For more detail, see
my consulting services to litigators and
my legal research services.
- Since 1998, I am an attorney in private practice,
licensed to practice in all state and federal courts in Massachusetts.
I concentrate in computer law,
academic issues in higher-education law,
and copyright law.

I am an attorney only in Massachusetts, so I can not provide

injured or sued in Massachusetts, or unless your local attorney hires me as a consultant.
I have posted the following hints for
how to find an attorney.
