Mass Torts Evolve: 
The Intersection of Aggregate Litigation and Bankruptcy

Friday, February 25, 2022
 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.
Fordham Law School
Costantino Room
150 West 62nd Street, Second Floor
New York, NY

Live Broadcast via Zoom Webinar
This symposium addresses the novel intersection of civil procedure and bankruptcy law.  Corporate defendants – including Purdue Pharma, Boy Scouts of America, and USA Gymnastics – facing substantial numbers of mass tort claims have filed for bankruptcy to exploit statutory loopholes and impose a new bargain on tort victims.  This interdisciplinary event will feature panels discussing bankruptcy preemption and multidistrict litigation, due process, representation issues regarding unidentified victims, settlement dynamics in complex cases, and victims’ rights.
