Welcome to Critical MassLaw.com’s weekly briefing on class actions and mass torts. I’m Amanda Bronstad in Los Angeles. The first trial over whether Monsanto’s Roundup causes cancer wrapped up on Tuesday, and plaintiff’s lawyers weren’t shy about what they wanted: $412 million. A New Jersey Supreme Court ruling set the bar higher for admitting expert evidence. And the Seventh Circuit came out with some key decisions in class actions.
