Welcome to Critical MassLaw.com’s new briefing on class actions and mass torts. I’m Amanda Bronstad in Los Angeles. The U.S. Supreme Court punted on taking up standing in data breach cases, so I asked lawyers what comes next. Also, on the eve of trial, plaintiffs lawyers dropped a talc case against Johnson & Johnson. And insurance lawyers are watching a California Supreme Court opioid case dealing with coverage duties.
