Just a few miscellaneous notes that can't--by themselves--justify their own posts.  I leave it to the reader to determine if there are any predominating common issues.

• The WLF webinar on "Legal PR, Trial Lawyers’ Style: How They Seek Advantage Outside of Court and Proactive Countermeasures for Defendants," featuring yours truly and Cato Institute Fellow Walter Olson has been archived here.  
• I just received my author's copy of the Class Action Playbook over the weekend, which means that it will be released very shortly (October 1!).  The back cover contains blurbs from, among others, law professor Robert Klonoff and plaintiffs' lawyer Garrett Wotkyns.  If you are a blogger or legal reporter who would like a copy for review purposes, please feel free to contact me.
• Fellow class-action blogger J. Russell Jackson (of Jackson on Consumer Class Actions and Mass Torts) has a great writeup of the recent Weiner v. Snapple case (which should be especially useful for those briefing superiority) at the WLF website.
• Also, since they've said everything I could have: here's a sampling of blog entries on the Second Circuit's recent Zyprexia decision.  Bottom line: it is always worth challenging plaintiffs' use of aggregate proof in non-securities class actions.  

Come back tomorrow for the regular Tuesday entry.
