I’m a law student just here to learn, and I had a couple of questions after reading this piece:
In school, we’re still learning that class actions die at certification. What might be driving the trend you’re seeing toward more trials — any recent changes in certification standards, corporate risk appetite, plaintiff funding availability?
Do you ever proactively address the role of plaintiffs’ counsel in opening statements to defuse the “lawyer-driven litigation” narrative before the defense raises it?
Thanks for sharing your insights. Loving this publication!
