- Title
Groundhog Day: Managing a Mountain of Pattern Litigation.
- Authors
Patterson, Jeff; Haas, Richard; Spencer, Luke
- Abstract
Pattern litigation comes in many forms: multidistrict litigation, class actions, or simply common allegations arising in individual cases around the country. The upside in pattern litigation is that trial counsel often does get the chance to try the same case again -- and, like Bill Murray in Groundhog Day, each trial is a chance to improve and finally get it right. Litigators and clients who comfort themselves with this thought are often shocked to learn that pattern litigation cases are much harder to settle and have a higher likelihood of going to trial.
