Description

Much of the federal court's docket consists of claims that are aggregated because they arise out of the same underlying tort, such as an industrial disaster, product defect, or improperly marketed drug. This course examines the mechanics of prosecuting and resolving these mass tort actions, with special emphasis on multi-party, multi-forum cases. Guest speakers will include some of the highest profile lawyers and mediators working in the mass tort field today.
