Multidistrict Litigation and Class Actions

Multidistrict Legislation (ML) shapes today’s society. ML challenges government actions and laws, defends human and civil rights, remedies collective wrongs, corrects mass tort violations, and safeguards statutory rights. It also involves employment rights, consumer rights, political rights, financial rights, constitutional rights, and environmental rights. ML has been called complex litigation as management of ML cases may involve multiple parties and multiple issues across multiple state and federal jurisdictions.
