a California-centric collection of comments and resources about complex litigation and class action practice
I have it on good authority from an inside source that some wage and hour guru will express pithy commentary in the Daily Journal’s July 2, 2019 edition.
UPDATE: Turns out my sources were correct. Be sure to read the column Where Troester Stops Not Even Troester Knows.
As in full of pith. With a young attorney in my firm, Lilit Ter-Astvatsatryan, we wrote an opinion column for the Daily Journal, published on September 12, 2018 and entitled Unaccounted Time: Reading the tea leaves of Troester. Wait, something is wrong with that. If Lilit is a young attorney, then I am old. So let’s start again…
With a colleague at my firm, Lilit Ter-Astvatsatryan, we wrote an opinion column for the Daily Journal, published on September 12, 2018 and entitled Unaccounted Time: Reading the tea leaves of Troester. Much better.
I congratulate Lilit on her first foray into craven and shameless self-promotion.
The RICO Trend in Class Action Warfare looks at the use of RICO suits against plaintiffs' counsel in mass action and class action filings, concluding that the tactic incorrectly attacks aggregate litigation procedures rather than specific, underlying fraudulent conduct.
In case you missed it (as did I, and I'm one of the authors), the December 28, 2010 edition of the Daily Journal includes columns on the interaction between arbitration and class actions.
Like the headline says, State Court Docket Watch Summer 2010 is now available here on the The Federalist Society website. The newest edition includes thoughts on Business and Professions Code section 17200 after the passage of Proposition 64. Pay no attention to the odd coincidence that one of the contributors has a name very similar to mine. I would never engage in shameless self-promotion and how dare you say that.
The April 21, 2010 edition of the Daily Journal includes my article, entitled "Witnesses Cannot Hide," in the Perspective column. It explains that the right to discover putative class member identity in class actions is really the right to discover witness identity in general. Discovery of witnesses is a foundational element of civil discovery rights. The arguments about privacy notices are intended to distract from this core right. The article is posted below with permission of Daily Journal Corp. (2010).
