Welcome to Critical MassLaw.com’s weekly briefing on class actions and mass torts. I’m Amanda Bronstad in Los Angeles. So, why did a federal judge in the Anthem data breach case award more than $30 million to plaintiffs lawyers with whom she was “deeply disappointed?” Also, there’s a lot of amicus support for lead paint companies petitioning the U.S. Supreme Court. And find out who got appointed to lead an MDL over the alleged options trading manipulation in Chicago.
