Our class action is on file. We are representing Columbia University students who have been displaced from campus because the school could not guarantee their safety.

We support peaceful protests but when a sliver of them invites and engages in violence including saying all "Zionist's" (read "Jews") should be killed and calls for terrorists attacks on American soil, that has no place in our country. It also detracts from important debates our nation should be having.

Columbia has long boasted a strong DEI program that prevents the targeting of vulnerable groups.

Our suit alleges it needs to enforce its policies and let students feel free to study, take finals and otherwise be students without worrying they will be assaulted.

We are proceeding on a breach of contract theory and are seek in immediate injunctive relief.

Our brief is now on file. In the 23&Me MDL, we argue for a new paradigm to evaluate lead motions. We start with the premise that under the current framework, courts are put in an uncomfortable position: act as the fiduciary for the class and find the lawyer with the right background and strategy and then goes back to a decider role when those strategies play out. The result is generally large bloated "consensus" teams that lead to quick and really bad settlements. So what to do?

Who's going to win the AI arm's race in high-stakes legal work? I'm betting on well-resourced plaintiff's firms with competition coming from boutique defense firms. BigLaw loses $ by being efficient.

So I never would’ve imagine we’d get a documentary on Hulu AND a music video about Tom Girardi 😆

[Jay Edelson @jayedelson]

And then, one just for funsies. Here's one I admittedly am too old to truly appreciate: Edelson finds TikTok:

But it wouldn't be video time if we spared #BigLaw. Here we peak under the hood to find out how good people join defense firms to represent companies they claim to hate. We bring you: "BigLaw Severed".

Thanks @ZwillGen for the inspiration.

Sometimes you have to be unconventional to get #reform.

The Rebellion is officially out. This is not just a #girardi/@erikajayne problem, it's about plaintiff's work across the board. Yep, we're talking to you @StateBarCA and "Mr. PPP."

With the indictments of Tom #Girardi, Chris Kamon, and David Lira, our music video on Tom, @erikajayne. @StateBarCA and the urgent need for reform got delayed. It is officially coming out on Wednesday. Here's a teaser......

kindness to others is the answer you've been searching for.. when EVERYONE becomes your FRIEND ..you win ❣️

[Jay Edelson @jayedelson]

For those interested in plaintiff’s work, I highly recommend @CSchiffnerNLJ’s interview series. Sometimes the differences in philosophies are clear; other times you have to read between the line. The Old Guard is starting to adopt reform language, but is fooling no one.

“The biggest concern I have about the plaintiffs industry is the plaintiffs industry itself.” - @jayedelson, founder and attorney at Edelson PC. The future of the plaintiffs’ bar rests on one simple truth: we must do right by our clients.

[Edelson PC @edelsonpc]

In a recent interview with @CSchiffnerNLJ from @TheNLJ, @jayedelson spoke to the internal battle he sees playing out in the #plaintiffsindustry between the old guard and the #reform wing of the #plaintiffsbar.

Our own @jayedelson was named one of @FastCompany's Most Creative People in Business 2022. He is, we believe, the only plaintiff’s lawyer to ever make the list. #FCMostCreative

Can plaintiff's attorneys agree with their colleagues on the other side of the "v", especially over #privacy issues in a post-#Dobbs world? Terrific and wide-ranging conversation with legal innovator Eric Troutman.

[Jay Edelson @jayedelson]

Good article on the failing of the California bar. Even today, the Bar has refused to do a thorough investigation into the #Girardi enterprise (including lawyers who are still entrusted with client money) and have resorted to intimidation tactics. We have #receipts.
