WHAT WE’RE WATCHING

GET YOUR SUIT ON  – It may be Monday, but if you’re into learning about litigation, it’s most definitely Funday! We’re unveiling Law.com’s new Litigation: Editor’s Picks section, which pulls together the best of our litigation trend analysis and in-depth commentary from practitioners and judges, along with our coverage of key players, breaking news, game-changing rulings, major recoveries and international cases. To celebrate, we have a Trendspotter two-fer: 1) a deep dive into a recent spate of breach-of-contract lawsuits alleging defendants are using COVID-19 as a convenient cover for some contractual hijinks and 2) our new Litigation Trendspotter column, which this week looks at several other emerging strains of pandemic-related lawsuits that could soon spread across the country, as well as what a federal judge’s ruling striking down Pennsylvania’s government shutdown orders could mean for other jurisdictions.
