A Message From the Editor

If you have eyes, you've seen the billboards ("Size Matters." "I'm Jawn Morgan." The list goes on. And on). In our first item today we offer a deep dive into the personal injury megafirm Morgan & Morgan, which has made a huge push in markets such as Philadelphia and elsewhere, drawing criticism and accolades for its legal (and advertising) work. Also, a Pennsylvania jury was receptive to gun product liability claims - the first such case of many set to come to trial soon - and the Philadelphia Bar Association is now on the hunt for a new executive director after Harvey Hurdle announced he will be stepping away from the role over the summer.

Thanks for reading!

– Max Mitchell, Regional Managing Editor
