- Title
Efficiency at the Price of Accuracy: The Case for Assigning MDLs to Multiple Districts and Circuits.
- Authors
Elkind, Isaak
- Abstract
The article focuses on the challenges of overconsolidation in multidistrict litigation (MDL) under 28 U.S.C. section 1407, where a few judges handle a vast number of cases, leading to accuracy issues in decision-making. It argues for a "divisional approach" to assign MDLs to multiple district courts and circuits, aiming to balance efficiency and accuracy by distributing decision-making across a broader judicial spectrum.
