A Message From the Editor

While thousands have agreed to take their offers in the bulk Risperdal settlement - expected to reach up to $1.1 billion - some say they are holding out in the hopes of a better offer and others say they are becoming frustrated after years of waiting. Our first story takes an in-depth look into the settlement administration and the client management difficulties that can come with mass litigation. Also, attorneys in the nearly $1 billion crashworthiness verdict against Mitsubishi sparred over jury instructions during post-trial arguments.

Thanks for reading!

– Max Mitchell, Regional Managing Editor, The Legal Intelligencer and New Jersey Law Journal
