Complex Litigation Ethics ConferenceCo-Sponsors:Center For Litigation and Courts, UC Hastings Law and Huntington National BankSan Francisco, CAOctober 22, 2022IntroductionThe conference, to be held on campus and virtually on October 22, 2022, is the first in what will be an annual event addressing Complex Litigation Ethics. It will bring together luminaries in the field—judges, scholars, lawyers, and others—to discuss a cutting-edge topic that is of critical importance to our justice system.Importance of the TopicData suggest that about half of all cases filed in federal court are part of multidistrict litigation (MDL) proceedings or involve proposed class actions. Yet scant scholarly attention has been paid to the ways in which ethical rules, which are typically designed for traditional litigation, should be adapted and applied to MDLs and class actions. The Complex Litigation Ethics Conference will address these important and timely issues.<a href="https://www.perrinconferences.com/assets/Complex-Litigation-Ethics-Conference-Agenda-101922.pdf" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">CLICK HERE TO VIEW THE AGENDA</a>About the OrganizersThe Conference is being primarily organized by Professor Joshua P.
