This article is part of a column that "rides the circuit" with the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation as it meets on a bimonthly basis. With the All-Star game in our rearview mirror and the second half of the season — and year — in full swing, the panel will meet this week in Boise, Idaho, yet another state without a major league baseball team.
The JPML is back in action this week, with a full plate of eight new MDL petitions to consider. As we assuaged readers in our last column, the panel's May "off day" from considering new MDL petitions was indeed short-lived.
