This fourth edition of the casebook is a testament to the dynamic and ever-evolving legal landscape of mass tort litigation. It not only reflects the latest developments in the field but also incorporates valuable insights gained from years of teaching the subject. The goal of this edition is to make the complex world of mass tort litigation more accessible and understandable to students.
To achieve this, the chapters have been reorganized in a chronological and thematic manner, providing a comprehensive overview of the evolving mass tort litigation landscape. The introductory chapters have been revamped to introduce students to the seminal cases and the jurisprudential debate that underpins policy discussions surrounding the aggregation of tort claims into group litigation.
The subsequent chapters have been consolidated to cover all aspects of ethical issues in mass tort litigation, including client solicitation, the first plaintiff problem, adequacy of representation, fiduciary duties, and the aggregate settlement rule in both class and non-class contexts. Two significant decisions where attorneys have faced sanctions for professional misconduct in the settlement of MDL non-class aggregate litigation have been highlighted.
Furthermore, the materials on class certification have been revised to reflect the recent shift in the timing of class certification from the pre-trial phase to the post-trial phase. This change reflects the evolving nature of mass tort litigation and the need to adapt to the changing dynamics of the legal landscape.
In conclusion, this fourth edition of the casebook is a valuable resource for students, attorneys, and legal professionals seeking to understand the complex world of mass tort litigation. It provides a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the field, incorporating recent developments and insights gained from years of teaching and practice.
