Happy New Year! Welcome to Critical MassLaw.com’s weekly briefing for class action and mass tort attorneys. Another round of Roundup trials are ready for 2020. A last-minute lawyer fight erupts over the USC sex assault settlement. Who got appointed to lead the Juul lawsuits? Feel free to reach out to me with your input. You can email me at [email protected], or follow me on Twitter@abronstadlaw.

(A note to my readers: In the Dec. 18 emailed version of Critical Mass, I misidentified Leslie Brueckner’s employer in a write-up about the Roundup appeal. She is at Public Justice.)
