Rabiej Litigation Law Center – MDL Bench – Bar Leadership Conference
This conference brings together both academic leaders and practitioners to exchange insights about different case-management practices in mass-tort MDLs. The goal is to share views from as many different perspectives as possible on practices that have worked well and others that have not worked so well and develop or refine guidelines and best practices. Such guidance is needed now more than ever to address: (i) emerging mass-tort MDL bankruptcies; (ii) the new MDL Rule 16.1 recommended by the Advisory Committee on Civil Rules, and (iii) the problem of premature mass-tort MDLs. The conference brings together a mixed balance of judges experienced and not experienced in mass-tort MDLs as well as practitioners and other experts, who have extensive mass-tort MDL practice.
