This week the Energy Voice team has been on the show floor at Subsea Expo in Aberdeen's P&J Live. The annual Global Under Water Hub event hosted those from across the energy sector as floating wind was high on the agenda. Aberdeen Features lead Ryan Duff sat down with Yvonne Telford, research director for north-west Europe energy market intelligence at Westwood, and spoke about the cost of decommissioning. Additionally, she addressed the recent court ruling that will result in Equinor and Shell filing new environmental impact assessments for the Rosebank and Jackdaw fields. Next up, news editor Erikka Askeland spoke to Aleks Jurczak, director of strategy and marketing for MDL, on the show floor about "blurring" lines between the different energy sectors, namely oil and gas, wind and decommissioning. Keeping herself busy, Erikka then spoke to Adam Reed, global leader of offshore renewables and upstream energy at Allianz Commercial, at the Energy Voice stand. Finally, Ryan caught up with Richard Knox, CEO of Verlume, to discuss a recent project that saw his firm partner with two other Aberdeen businesses to deliver power to a Canadian oil field while its FPSO left for maintenance and how the technology they developed can be rolled out across the pond.

This Day in Legal History: 13th Amendment RatifiedOn December 6, 1865, the United States formally abolished slavery with the ratification of the 13th Amendment to the Constitution. This historic amendment declared that "neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction." Its passage marked the culmination of decades of abolitionist struggle and the bloody Civil War, which had torn the nation apart over the issue of human bondage. The amendment was first passed by Congress on January 31, 1865, but required ratification by three-fourths of the states to become law. This final step was achieved when Georgia, the 27th state needed for approval, ratified it. Although President Abraham Lincoln had issued the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, freeing slaves in Confederate-held territories, the 13th Amendment went further by permanently outlawing slavery throughout the entire country, including states loyal to the Union.The amendment also laid the groundwork for subsequent constitutional changes aimed at achieving racial equality, including the 14th and 15th Amendments. However, it was not the end of systemic racial oppression. In the years that followed, practices like sharecropping and the rise of "Black Codes" sought to perpetuate the subjugation of African Americans. The amendment's exception clause—allowing involuntary servitude as punishment for crimes—also became a basis for exploitative practices in the penal system, with effects still debated today.Nevertheless, the ratification of the 13th Amendment remains a cornerstone of American history, symbolizing the nation's legal commitment to freedom and human dignity. It was a monumental step in the ongoing journey toward civil rights and justice in the United States.The U.S. Supreme Court is examining United States v. Miller, a case involving the IRS and a bankruptcy trustee, which centers on whether sovereign immunity allows the IRS to keep payments made by a company before bankruptcy. The dispute arose from All Resort Group Inc.'s payment of $145,000 to cover its directors' personal tax debts three years prior to its bankruptcy filing. The trustee argues these payments were fraudulent transfers since the company was insolvent at the time, and the IRS should return the funds like any other creditor.Justices across ideological lines expressed skepticism of the IRS's claim that state fraudulent transfer laws and extended lookback periods, typically used by bankruptcy trustees, are inapplicable due to sovereign immunity. Justice Kavanaugh warned that reversing lower court rulings in favor of the trustee could enable fraud by allowing debtors to misuse company funds while shielding the IRS from clawback actions.The IRS maintains that the trustee's actions exceed the two-year lookback period allowed under bankruptcy law and that sovereign immunity blocks state law-based extensions. Critics argue that siding with the IRS could undermine bankruptcy trustees' avoidance powers, giving the government an unfair advantage over other creditors.Justices, including Barrett, Kagan, and Jackson, questioned the IRS's reasoning, suggesting it contradicts bankruptcy law's intent to treat the government like other creditors in such cases. Legal experts noted that Utah's fraudulent transfer laws, used to extend the recovery period, align with federal principles, challenging the IRS's "peculiar" stance.IRS Climbing a Steep Hill in Bankruptcy Trustee Clawback DisputeOpenAI plans to request the centralization of eight copyright and Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) lawsuits into a multidistrict litigation (MDL) in New York and California, according to statements made to a federal judge. These lawsuits allege that OpenAI infringed on copyrights during the training of its large language models. Plaintiffs include prominent names like The New York Times, comedian Sarah Silverman, and author Ta-Nehisi Coates. OpenAI assured the court it will continue participating in discovery while the request is reviewed by the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation. Notably, one DMCA claim by Intercept Media Inc., alleging OpenAI removed copyright management information from its content, recently survived a motion to dismiss. However, OpenAI successfully defended against a similar suit from Raw Story Media Inc. and Alternet Media Inc.The company has also sought to merge suits filed by The New York Times and Daily News LP. OpenAI is represented by Morrison & Foerster LLP, Latham & Watkins LLP, and Keker Van Nest & Peters LLP, while the authors are represented by the Joseph Saveri Law Firm LLP and Cafferty Clobes Meriwether & Sprengel LLP. The case underlines ongoing legal challenges for AI companies related to copyright and content use.OpenAI to Seek to Centralize Eight Copyright Lawsuits Against ItHouse Democrats are divided on a Senate-passed bill to add 66 judgeships to federal district courts, with some wary of granting Donald Trump the opportunity to appoint new judges during his presidency. The JUDGES Act, which aims to address judicial shortages in heavily burdened districts, represents the first major expansion of the federal judiciary since 1990. While some Democrats, such as Reps. Doris Matsui and Eric Swalwell, emphasize the urgent need for additional judges in their states, others, like Rep. Jerrold Nadler, oppose the timing, accusing Republicans of strategically advancing the bill after Trump's election win.The legislation proposes phasing in new judgeships over the next three presidential terms, beginning with 11 appointments in 2025 and another 11 in 2027. Courts in states with Democratic senators would receive 37 permanent seats, while those in Republican states would gain 26 permanent and three temporary positions. Supporters argue that the measure addresses pressing judicial workloads, such as in California's Eastern District, where judges face one of the nation's highest case-to-population ratios. However, critics suspect political maneuvering, with Rep. Zoe Lofgren questioning why Republicans waited until after Trump's victory to advance the bill. House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan hopes to pass the measure quickly, and experts note Republicans may secure enough Democratic support despite objections. The judiciary's policymaking body and federal judges back the bill, though its timing and implications for Trump's influence over the judiciary remain contentious.House Democrats Split on Bill to Add Judges After Trump Win (1)Donald Trump announced David Sacks, venture capitalist and co-founder of Craft Ventures, as his pick for the newly created position of AI and Crypto Czar. This role will oversee federal policy on artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency, with a focus on boosting U.S. leadership in these sectors. Sacks, a prominent Trump supporter and Silicon Valley figure, has ties to Elon Musk and was a key fundraiser for Trump's campaign. He is also set to lead the Presidential Council of Advisors for Science and Technology.Sacks' responsibilities will include crafting a legal framework to provide clarity for the crypto industry, a sector Trump has pledged to support after previously criticizing it. He will also influence the regulation and adoption of AI, countering Biden-era executive orders on AI oversight, which Trump has criticized as stifling innovation. Despite holding investments in crypto and enterprise software, Sacks will not be required to divest his assets, though conflict-of-interest rules will limit his involvement in specific decisions. Known for advocating free speech and opposing "Big Tech bias," Sacks aligns with Trump's broader deregulatory agenda. His appointment, alongside crypto advocate Paul Atkins to lead the SEC, signals a strong focus on deregulation for digital assets and tech industries.Trump Names David Sacks as White House AI and Crypto Czar (2)This week's closing theme is by Ludwig van Beethoven – a composer of some note.Ludwig van Beethoven, one of the towering figures of classical music, revolutionized the art form with his innovative compositions and bold vision. Born in Bonn in 1770, Beethoven's life spanned the Classical and Romantic eras, and his works embodied the bridge between these two periods. Despite his struggles with hearing loss, he composed some of the most enduring and transformative music ever written. Among his celebrated symphonies, the Symphony No. 7 in A Major, Op. 92, stands out for its infectious energy, rhythmic innovation, and emotional depth. Premiered in 1813, the symphony's exuberance earned it a special place in audiences' hearts, with the second movement, Allegretto, becoming an instant favorite.This week, we spotlight Franz Liszt's masterful piano transcription of Beethoven's Symphony No. 7. Liszt, a virtuoso pianist and composer of the Romantic era, was renowned for his transcriptions, which brought orchestral works to the solo piano repertoire, allowing a wider audience to experience their brilliance. His transcription of the Seventh Symphony captures not only the rhythmic vitality and dramatic contrasts of Beethoven's original but also its delicate nuances and grandeur.The second movement, in particular, shines in Liszt's version, with its solemn, almost hymn-like theme resonating deeply on the piano. Its hypnotic pulse and poignant melody reveal the emotional core of Beethoven's vision, even in a solo performance. This piece embodies the interplay of intensity and elegance that defines Beethoven's work and showcases Liszt's genius as both interpreter and innovator.Without further ado, Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No. 7 in A Major, Op. 92.

In recent years, the legal profession has increasingly prioritized diversity in law firm hiring and litigation leadership, driven by demands from corporate clients, alumni, and judges. Efforts to increase the representation of women and non-white lawyers have become so integral that they are now reflected in proposed formal rules, such as the FRCP 16.1, which would require judges to consider identity characteristics when selecting leadership teams for multidistrict litigation (MDL). This potential codification raises important questions about the legality and implications of identity-based preferences in the legal profession. How should client preferences for diversity be balanced with Title VII commitments, and what role should diversity of background play in law firm hiring and the selection of MDL legal teams? This panel will explore these issues, examining both the legal and policy arguments surrounding identity-based preferencing in legal employment.Featuring:Dean andré douglas pond cummings, Dean and Professor of Law, Widener University Commonwealth Law SchoolProf. Darrell D.

Summary of Chapter 11: Class Actions, MDL, Technology in Litigation, ADR, and Pro Se Litigation. Chapter 11 covers several critical aspects of modern litigation, focusing on advanced procedural mechanisms and the impact of technology on the legal process. It also addresses alternative methods for resolving disputes and the challenges faced by individuals representing themselves in court. 1. Class Actions. Nature and Purpose: Class actions allow a group of individuals with similar legal grievances to file a single lawsuit. This approach enhances judicial efficiency, provides access to justice for individuals with small claims, and serves as a deterrent against wrongful conduct. Key Requirements: To qualify as a class action, a case must meet several criteria, including commonality, typicality, adequacy of representation, and numerosity. These requirements ensure that the case is suitable for collective resolution. Types: Class actions can be categorized based on the relief sought, including damages class actions, injunctive or declaratory relief class actions, and limited fund class actions. Advantages and Disadvantages: While class actions offer efficiency and cost-effectiveness, they can be procedurally complex and limit individual control over litigation decisions. The court plays a crucial role in overseeing class actions, including certification, notice to class members, and settlement approval. Ethical Considerations: Attorneys must navigate conflicts of interest, ensure adequate representation, and be transparent about fees and costs. Courts and opposing counsel must treat pro se litigants fairly and uphold the integrity of the legal process. 2. Multi-District Litigation (MDL). Purpose: MDL is designed to handle complex cases with multiple plaintiffs, defendants, or jurisdictions by consolidating them into a single court for pretrial proceedings. This approach streamlines the process, reduces duplicative efforts, and fosters settlement. Process: The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML) oversees the transfer and coordination of cases, centralized management by a single judge, and potential remand for trial if cases are not settled during the MDL process. Examples: MDL is commonly used in product liability cases, environmental disasters, and consumer fraud cases, where it facilitates efficient resolution and consistent rulings. Advantages and Challenges: MDL promotes efficiency and consistency but can be complex, lengthy, and raise fairness concerns, especially if cases are centralized far from the parties involved. 3. Impact of Technology on Litigation. Electronic Discovery (e-Discovery): The rise of e-discovery has transformed the litigation process, involving the collection, review, and production of electronically stored information (ESI). While e-discovery offers opportunities for managing large datasets, it also presents challenges such as data volume, cost, and privacy concerns. Digital Evidence: The use of digital evidence, including documents, multimedia, and metadata, is now standard in litigation. Courts are equipped with technology to present and authenticate digital evidence effectively, though it requires careful management to ensure admissibility and reliability. Virtual Hearings and Trials: The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption of virtual proceedings, offering benefits like accessibility and efficiency but also posing challenges related to technology barriers, witness credibility, and security. 4. Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR). Types of ADR: ADR includes mediation, arbitration, and negotiation as alternatives to traditional litigation. Each method offers varying degrees of formality, control, and flexibility. Advantages and Disadvantages: ADR is cost-effective, quicker, and confidential but may offer limited discovery, no legal precedent, and potential imbalances between parties. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/law-school/support

Chapter 11 covers several critical aspects of modern litigation, focusing on advanced procedural mechanisms and the impact of technology on the legal process. It also addresses alternative methods for resolving disputes and the challenges faced by individuals representing themselves in court. 1. Class Actions. Nature and Purpose: Class actions allow a group of individuals with similar legal grievances to file a single lawsuit. This approach enhances judicial efficiency, provides access to justice for individuals with small claims, and serves as a deterrent against wrongful conduct. Key Requirements: To qualify as a class action, a case must meet several criteria, including commonality, typicality, adequacy of representation, and numerosity. These requirements ensure that the case is suitable for collective resolution. Types: Class actions can be categorized based on the relief sought, including damages class actions, injunctive or declaratory relief class actions, and limited fund class actions. Advantages and Disadvantages: While class actions offer efficiency and cost-effectiveness, they can be procedurally complex and limit individual control over litigation decisions. The court plays a crucial role in overseeing class actions, including certification, notice to class members, and settlement approval. Ethical Considerations: Attorneys must navigate conflicts of interest, ensure adequate representation, and be transparent about fees and costs. Courts and opposing counsel must treat pro se litigants fairly and uphold the integrity of the legal process. 2. Multi-District Litigation (MDL). Purpose: MDL is designed to handle complex cases with multiple plaintiffs, defendants, or jurisdictions by consolidating them into a single court for pretrial proceedings. This approach streamlines the process, reduces duplicative efforts, and fosters settlement. Process: The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML) oversees the transfer and coordination of cases, centralized management by a single judge, and potential remand for trial if cases are not settled during the MDL process. Examples: MDL is commonly used in product liability cases, environmental disasters, and consumer fraud cases, where it facilitates efficient resolution and consistent rulings. Advantages and Challenges: MDL promotes efficiency and consistency but can be complex, lengthy, and raise fairness concerns, especially if cases are centralized far from the parties involved. 3. Impact of Technology on Litigation. Electronic Discovery (e-Discovery): The rise of e-discovery has transformed the litigation process, involving the collection, review, and production of electronically stored information (ESI). While e-discovery offers opportunities for managing large datasets, it also presents challenges such as data volume, cost, and privacy concerns. Digital Evidence: The use of digital evidence, including documents, multimedia, and metadata, is now standard in litigation. Courts are equipped with technology to present and authenticate digital evidence effectively, though it requires careful management to ensure admissibility and reliability. Virtual Hearings and Trials: The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption of virtual proceedings, offering benefits like accessibility and efficiency but also posing challenges related to technology barriers, witness credibility, and security. 4. Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR). Types of ADR: ADR includes mediation, arbitration, and negotiation as alternatives to traditional litigation. Each method offers varying degrees of formality, control, and flexibility. Advantages and Disadvantages: ADR is cost-effective, quicker, and confidential but may offer limited discovery, no legal precedent, and potential imbalances between parties. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/law-school/support
Join Ben and Rahul for their discussion with Jake and Tor, breaking down the recent 495 million Dollar verdict in a product liability case against Abbott Laboratories for pre-term infant formula that increases the risks for developing necrotizing enterocolitis. Hear how Jake and Tor navigated this difficult case and won this epic battle. About Jacob Plattenbergerhttps://www.torhoermanlaw.com/team/jake-plattenberger/Jacob Plattenberger has taken hundreds of depositions, argued in countless hearings, and tried over 35 cases to a jury.His experience in and out of the courtroom has made him a passionate advocate for those injured due to the negligence of others.Jake started his career trying cases at one of the busiest civil courthouses in the country – the Richard J. Daley Center in downtown Chicago.He started out doing insurance defense because he knew that afforded him the best opportunity to get courtroom experience.“When I was working on the defense side, I always knew that I was going to be a plaintiff's lawyer. I knew that being able and willing to try a case to a jury was a skill that I needed to have if I was going to be able to offer my clients the best legal representation. Insurance companies and corporate defendants need to believe you when you say you will take them to trial – they need to fear that.”This type of real trial experience is exceedingly rare in complex civil litigation and having seen it from the defense side gives Jake an added advantage.At TorHoerman Law, Jake manages our Chicago office where he leads trial teams in nationwide, complex litigations such as:Representing dozens of workers across the United States who were exposed to Diacetyl at work and now suffer lung diseaseeg.

Personal LifeJake was born and raised in Chicago.He now lives in the Chicago suburbs, where his two young sons keep him busy.When he isn't working, Jake is a lifelong Bears and Cubs fan and loves participating in the (mostly) healthy rivalry between the Cubs and Cardinals fans at TorHoerman Law. About Tor Hoermanhttps://www.torhoermanlaw.com/team/tor-hoerman/Tor Hoerman is a nationally recognized attorney who has served in the field for more than 25 years.He is most well-known as the founder of the personal injury law firm TorHoerman Law, LLC (THL). Early Life & EducationTor was born the youngest of four boys on July 16, 1969, in Bethesda, Maryland to Kirk and Greta Hoerman.With his father serving as a Captain in the Navy, Tor often moved towns during his childhood, eventually landing in the Chicago metropolitan area.In Chicago, Tor lived in the Great Lakes Naval Base and Lake Bluff before his family settled in Lake Forest, which is where he attended high school.Despite repeatedly switching homes, Tor made the most of his situation.In high school, he played football, basketball, and baseball, and he earned varsity letters in each of these sports.In addition to varsity recognition, he was recognized as an All-county athlete and awarded the Booster Club Athlete of the Year his senior year.Outside of sports, Tor coached little league baseball, served as a summer camp counselor, and worked as a summertime janitor at his former high school after graduating.Tor attended Depauw University and majored in Political Science.He played NCAA baseball and football at Depauw, and he was the captain of the baseball team.After graduating from Depauw in 1991, Tor enrolled in the Chicago-Kent College of Law.During law school, Tor bartended at a local bar and clerked for Kravolec, Jambois & Schwartz, LLC. Legal CareerAfter graduating from law school in 1995, Tor took on a job doing insurance defense at Bolero, Cart & Stone, LLC, where he worked reluctantly for a year and a half.One day at work, Tor received a phone call from Steve Jambois, his former employer throughout law school, asking if he wanted a job on the plaintiff's side of insurance law.Tor immediately accepted the job, kickstarting decades to come of fighting corporations on behalf of harmed individuals.Tor's Transition to Medical Malpractice LitigationTor returned to Kravolec, Jambois & Schwartz to fight on behalf of medical malpractice victims, which mostly consisted of high-intensity trial work in the Chicago courthouse.After seven years at the Jambois firm, Hoeman was recruited by the Simmons law firm, based in an Illinois suburb of St. Louis, to start and lead a branch of the practice that focused on pharmaceutical litigation.Leading the Pharmaceutical Practice at Simmons Law FirmTor became a partner of what is now Simmons, Hanly, and Conroy and led the pharmaceutical practice for seven years.One of Tor most notable achievements while leading the practice was his work against Purdue Pharma and its reckless distribution of OxyContin.Tor was the first to file a case alleging Purdue Pharma's wrongdoing in distributing OxyContin and failing to adequately warn healthcare providers and the public of the risks of addiction.Achieving Justice Against Purdue PharmaHe led the litigation process and got Purdue Pharma to agree to a large settlement, which was distributed to thousands of accidental addicts.Tor took a step further to achieve justice in this case, assisting the Department of Justice in obtaining guilty pleas by Purdue Pharma representatives who had a direct role in contributing to the opioid epidemic. Founding TorHoerman LawHaving garnered success leading the pharmaceutical branch at the Simmons firm, Tor amicably decided to split from Simmons in 2009 and start his own pharmaceutical and personal injury practice called TorHoerman Law, LLC (THL).After negotiating the terms of the split, Tor struck a deal that allowed him to bring his entire staff from Simmons to his new practice, which summed up to more than 25 lawyers and staff members.Expansion and Success of THLTor opened offices in Edwardsville, IL; Clayton, MO; and Chicago, IL to kickstart operations; all three offices remain open today.In the time since opening THL, Tor and his team have litigated many pharmaceutical malpractice and personal injury cases.Notable Successes at THLTor's most notable successes while operating THL are perhaps co-leading the litigations against Boehringer Ingelheim's Pradaxa and Takeda's Actos.Through intense research and vetting, Tor was able to find substantial evidence indicating Actos causes bladder cancer and Pradaxa causes internal bleeding.He then presented the evidence to the companies, which decided to settle the cases.Tor played a significant role in negotiating these settlements, which ended up being $650 million for Pradaxa and $2.4 billion for Actos.Tor has also had major success in several other product liability lawsuits, such as Zelnorm, Gadolinium-based Contrast Agents, and Incretin Mimetics.We've outlined these cases, a few other notable cases, and their correlating results in the section below.Recognition & AwardsHis successes with these cases and beyond earned him the distinction as a Top 25 Notable Alumni from the Chicago-Kent School of Law, which was awarded to him and 24 other lawyers out of the tens of thousands who have graduated from the school since its founding in 1888.Tor is also recognized as a Top 100 National Trial Lawyer by the National Trial Lawyers Organization. Notable Cases & ResultsPradaxa (Dabigatran Etexilate) – Products Liability Litigation, MDL 2385 – Appointed by Judge Herndon as national lead counsel in the MDL. After protracted litigation successfully negotiated a $650 million settlement.Actos Related Cases, MDL Case No. 11 L 10011, Et. Al. – Appointed by Judge Dooling as lead counsel in Cook County consolidated docket (over 4400 cases). After protracted litigation, he was one of four lead negotiators (along with Pete Flowers, Mark Lanier, and Andy Birchfield) on a $2.4 billion settlement.Incretin Mimetics Products Liability Litigation, MDL Case No. 13MD2452 AJB (MDD) – Appointed as lead counsel by Judge Battaglia in the MDL.

Summary of Chapter 4: Venue. Chapter 4 addresses the concept of venue in civil litigation, emphasizing its importance in determining the most appropriate and convenient court for hearing a case. The chapter is divided into four sections, each exploring different aspects of venue in both federal and state courts, as well as in complex litigation involving multiple parties or multi-district litigation (MDL). 4.1 Federal Venue Rules. Overview: Federal venue is governed by 28 U.S.C. § 1391, which outlines three primary bases for establishing venue: residence of defendants, location of events, and a fallback provision. Residence of Defendants: Venue is proper where any defendant resides if all defendants reside in the same state. Location of Events: Venue is appropriate where a substantial part of the events or omissions giving rise to the claim occurred. Fallback Provision: If no other district is suitable, venue can be established where any defendant is subject to personal jurisdiction. Purpose: These rules ensure cases are filed in districts with significant connections to the parties or events. 4.2 State Venue Rules. Overview: State venue rules vary but generally follow principles similar to federal rules, focusing on residency, location of the incident, and specific statutory provisions. Residency of Parties: Venue is often based on where the parties reside or conduct business. Location of the Incident: Venue is appropriate where the underlying events or harm occurred. Statutory Provisions: States may have specific statutes governing venue for certain types of cases, such as contract disputes or personal injury claims. Importance: Understanding state-specific rules is crucial for ensuring cases are filed in the correct location within state court systems. 4.3 Change of Venue. Mechanisms for Change: Parties may seek a change of venue through motions for transfer or by invoking forum non conveniens. Motion for Transfer: Under 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a), cases can be transferred for the convenience of parties and witnesses and in the interest of justice. Forum Non Conveniens: A court may dismiss a case if another forum is significantly more appropriate, even if the current venue is proper. Strategic Considerations: Successful motions for change of venue ensure cases are heard in locations that best serve the interests of justice, balancing convenience and fairness. 4.4 Venue in Multi-Party and Multi-District Litigation. Multi-Party Cases: Venue must be appropriate for all defendants, often based on the residence of a significant defendant or the location of key events. MDL: Federal courts can consolidate cases from different districts involving common issues for pretrial proceedings under 28 U.S.C. § 1407. Purpose of MDL: MDL aims to streamline complex litigation, reduce duplicative discovery, and prevent conflicting rulings. Importance: These procedures help manage complex cases by ensuring they are heard in suitable and efficient forums. Overall Importance. Venue rules are essential for ensuring that civil cases are heard in the most appropriate and convenient locations. Proper venue promotes fairness, judicial efficiency, and prevents forum shopping. Understanding the complexities of venue, including federal and state rules, mechanisms for changing venue, and handling multi-party and MDL cases, is crucial for legal practitioners to effectively navigate the litigation process and advocate for their clients. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/law-school/support

In this episode of S&C's Critical Insights, Bill Monahan, Head of S&C's Products Liability & Mass Torts Group, and Shane Palmer, an associate in the Firm's Litigation Group, examine the new proposed Rule 16.1 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, which the Judicial Conference of the United States' Advisory Committee on Civil Rules recently voted to adopt as the first rule governing multidistrict litigation. They discuss the original proposal for Rule 16.1 that was published last year, the defense and plaintiffs bars' reaction to the proposed rule, and the final proposed rule that was adopted last month and its implications for MDLs. Since Congress passed the Multidistrict Litigation Act in 1968 and created the MDL process, there have been no specific rules dictating how judges should manage MDLs, beyond the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure that apply in every federal civil case. In 2017, the Advisory Committee established an MDL Subcommittee to consider whether new rules should be added to address the unique challenges of MDLs. Rule 16.1, which is designed to guide MDL courts in addressing the various and complex issues unique to MDL proceedings, is the first proposed rule to come out of the MDL Subcommittee's efforts.

This week, we're replaying a classic episode where Steve and Yvonne interviewed Kyle Farrar and Wesley Ball of Farrar and Ball, LLP (http://fbtrial.com/). Remember to rate and review GTP in iTunes: Click Here to Rate and Review. View/Download Trial Documents Case Details: Farrar & Ball trial attorneys Kyle Farrar and Wesley Ball share how they secured justice for Shanika Brown and her infant daughter, who underwent arm and leg amputations, respectively, after being ejected from a car that hit a blown truck tire from a concrete mixer owned by Silvi Concrete on I-295 in New Jersey. The failed Bridgestone L315 tire, which was poorly retreaded by McCarthy Tire and negligently maintained by Silvi Concrete, was left in the roadway and caused the car Brown and her daughter were riding in to swerve and crash. Bridgestone, the original manufacturer of the tire, settled pre-trial. McCarthy Tire settled early in the trial and Silvi Concrete settled with the infant daughter before the case was presented to the jury. A Philadelphia, Pennsylvania jury ultimately assigned 85 percent of the blame to Silvi Concrete. It returned a verdict of $10.6 million to Shanika Brown and $65,000 to Shanika's mother, who was driving the vehicle. Combined with delay damages, the verdict totaled $11.7 million. Guest Bios: Kyle Farrar Kyle Farrar is a veteran litigator with an active trial caseload in state and federal courts across the country. He has secured record jury verdicts and settlements on behalf of individuals injured by dangerous products and reckless and negligent parties.

Kyle began his career at one of the nation's largest law firms, representing Fortune 500 companies in multimillion-dollar lawsuits. He founded his firm to focus on representing individuals who have suffered catastrophic injuries caused by tire blowouts, tread separation, and tire failure linked to defective tires and automotive products. Kyle is a national thought leader regarding tire and vehicle safety, and his work has helped spur manufacturers to improve safety and recall defective products. In this capacity, Kyle routinely assists peers and helps educate lawyers at product liability litigation conferences nationwide. He is often asked to assist as trial counsel in cases and trials, having appeared in Courts in over twenty different states and trying cases to a successful outcome in ten different states. Read Full Bio Wesley Ball In 2005 – three years after graduating from Baylor Law School – Wesley Todd Ball co-founded Farrar & Ball, LLP, and built it brick by brick to what it has become today.
