Eliminating Meritless Claims
from FedSoc Events Hosted by The Federalist Society
Multidistrict litigation (“MDL”) accounts for nearly half of all civil cases in federal courts. Although MDLs were designed to be efficient mechanisms for “coordinated or consolidated pretrial proceedings,” in some instances they have become one-sided forums known for lacking the basic protections afforded to all other cases by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP), the Federal Rules of Evidence and appellate review. Featuring: David Bernick, Partner, Paul Weiss LLP Honorable Eduardo Robreno, U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Pennsylvania Chris Seeger, Founding Partner, Seeger Weiss LLP Andrew J.
