Welcome to Critical MassLaw.com’s weekly briefing on class actions and mass torts. I’m Amanda Bronstad in Los Angeles. Ken Starr is joining Mark Lanier’s firm, so I asked him: What’s different about the plaintiff’s side? Find out which law firm plans to file the first suit over this weekend’s deadly shooting in Jacksonville, Florida. And Public Justice, a nonprofit legal advocacy group, lost two appeals court decisions in the past week.
