Class Action Countermeasures : Class Action Lawyers & Attorneys : McGuireWoods Law Firm : Complex Litigation, Mass Torts

 Two weeks from today, on September 17, 2010 at 10 AM, I'll be participating (along with Overlawyered's Walter Olson) in a webinar hosted by the Washington Legal Foundation titled: Legal PR, Trial Lawyers’ Style: How Plaintiffs Seek Advantage Outside of Court and Proactive Countermeasures for Defendants.  

As the WLF describes it:

This interactive program examines the various communications and public relations strategies plaintiffs’ attorneys utilize in specific cases and to accentuate their role in civil justice, and provides strategies defendants can use to respond to trial lawyer PR and positively turn the “spin” to their advantage.

Please feel free to join us.  It should be an interesting program.

The manuscript for The Class Action Playbook (which I'm co-authoring for Oxford University Press with O'Melveny & Myers partner Brian Anderson) is due on Monday, March 1.  As a result, the blog will be on hiatus this week.  

In the meantime, please visit Paul Karlsgodt's Class Action Blawg or Russell Jackson's Consumer Class Actions and Mass Torts blog for more defense-oriented class-action coverage.  

And check back here on Tuesday, March 2, when normal twice-a-week posting will resume.
