Jan Schlichtmann is renowned for his pioneering work in the Woburn water contamination case
that for the first time brought together leading experts in science, medicine, and engineering and
used a novel multi-disciplinary approach to unravel the complex interaction between industrial
activities and the public health. His groundbreaking work has been the subject of
numerous legal and scientific journals and books, national and international television and
radio shows, press reports, and magazine stories including "60 Minutes" and "Nova". The
Woburn odyssey was chronicled in the national bestseller, "A Civil Action" which became a major
motion picture starring John Travolta as Schlichtmann.
