Philadelphia’s newest mass torts programs comply with the American Bar Association standard that civil cases should be concluded within two years of filing, Common Pleas Judge Sandra Mazer Moss said.
Moss, who is marking more than two years as the coordinating judge of the First Judicial District’s program for mass torts, the Complex Litigation Center, said that she has been able to accomplish the goal of getting new filings to trial within two years. Cases filed in 2009 are reaching trial this year, said Moss, who was assigned to the program in January 2009.
