A Message From the Editor

In our first story today, we bring you exclusive details on the up to $1.1 billion settlement resolving the vast majority of Philadelphia's Risperdal mass tort program, which was once one of the busiest in the city. Also, we have news about a former Troutman Pepper's lawsuit against Major, Lindsey & Africa for allegedly blackballing her after she sued her former firm, and a racial discrimination suit against HersheyPark's store has survived a challenge to dismiss.

Thanks for reading!
