Plaintiffs lawyers told a federal judge Thursday he is underestimating the number of attorneys needed to steer the multidistrict litigation against Toyota over sudden unintended acceleration problems in their vehicles. Given no more than five minutes each to make a pitch for seats on a key committee in the litigation, the 70 or so attorneys noted their expertise in class actions, work on other MDLs, familiarity with Japan, ability to speak Spanish and the thousands of dollars they have already spent on their cases.

Each of the 70 or so lawyers lining up to address U.S. District Judge James V. Selna received no more than five minutes to convince him that they deserved a seat on one of at least three prominent committees in the litigation.
