Lawsuit Growth in 2008
Articles in the ABA Section of Litigation's Litigation News and the Baltimore Business Journal summarize the 2009 Law360 Litigation Almanac. Among the federal-court findings: class actions rose 8% (reaching an all-time high); product liability litigation increased 20%; federal environmental lawsuits went up for the first time since 2005; and, in contrast, securities litigation dropped by 8%.
