A Message From the Editor

A personal injury verdict for a single plaintiff has crossed the $1 billion threshold after the presiding judge rejected a challenge to the award and instead tacked on more than $33 million in delay damages. Our top story this morning from Aleeza Furman has details. Also, if you thought AI is going to take the pressure off the competition for talent and clients, think again! And a defendant is seeking much-needed clarity on how the state's consent-by-registration statute should work for mass tort litigants.

Thanks for reading!

– Max Mitchell, Regional Managing Editor
