And Now A Word From The Panel: Doing The MDL Math

Welcome to the latest installment of And Now a Word from the Panel, a column that "rides the circuit" with the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation as it meets on a bimonthly basis.

As we welcome in spring, we also welcome the return of an in-person MDL hearing session, even if we need to wait an extra week until Opening Day of the baseball season. After a more than two-year hiatus in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the panel will hear in-person oral arguments at the March 31 hearing session in the Big Easy — New Orleans.
