Nice win for Plaintiffs in the GM CP4 fuel pump litigation. Judge Tigar sustained 6 of 7 claims on motion to dismiss. Congrats to the lawyers working on the case: Gibbs Law Group, Hilliard Martinez Gonzales, Hagens Berman (@classactionlaw), and Morgan & Morgan (@forthepeople).

Partner @thedenasharp and Dave Stein of @clwblog collaborated on this great @LADailyJournal article regarding the importance of early discovery into #arbitration.

Sixth Circuit has been leading the charge on a topic fundamental to our public courts. I’m also puzzled by some sealed documents in the Opioid litigation, including whole complaints. There’s no justification for sealing court documents in such important cases. #ComplexLitTwitter

I'm surprised it's this low, but it shows how unjustly widespread the practice is.
