A Message From the Editor

We talk to Quinn Emanuel founder and chair John Quinn about global litigation, the rise of class actions in Europe, and podcasting. Also, legal opportunities, from arbitration to tech, are growing on the continent of Africa and there's lots of interest from around the globe. And Air Canada learned that it can't shirk responsibility if its AI chatbot gets something wrong.
