Comcast v. Behrend Watch List Webinar April 16

In Comcast Corp. v. Behrend, ___ U.S. ___ (3/27/13), a 5-4 majority of the United States Supreme Court reversed a district court order granting class certification in an antitrust action. The Court held that the plaintiffs had not met their burden to show that common questions predominated over individual questions under Federal Rule 23(b)(3) because their damage model fell "far short of of establishing that damages are capable of measurement on a classwide basis."  Slip op. at 7.

At 12:00 p.m. on April 16, 2013, the State Bar's Labor and Employment Law Section, in conjunction with the Antitrust Section, will present the latest in its Watch List series of webinars:
