Welcome to Critical MassLaw.com’s weekly briefing for class action and mass tort attorneys. Coronavirus halted this week’s MDL conference at Duke Law, which is reeling from the sudden death of professor Francis McGovern.

Feel free to reach out to me with your input. You can email me at [email protected], or follow me on Twitter@abronstadlaw.
