1. The Seventh Circuit holds that plaintiffs can pursue nationwide class actions against out-of-state defendants. It says class actions are different from mass consolidations, which may have to be limited to plaintiffs injured in a single state. Two reasons: #ComplexLitTwitter

“I just find it very difficult to believe that the Supreme Court thought in Bristol-Myers that it was ushering in this dramatic change,” 7th Circuit Judge Amy Barrett said in an appeal seeking to apply the SCOTUS decision to #classactions. https://t.co/1lty7QjCyC via @lawdotcom

It's astonishing at just how effectively big companies have rigged the legal landscape against consumers and employees. https://t.co/y3x20o4Opu? @HuffPostPol

Our firm, Gupta Wessler, is looking for an Office Manager/Legal Assistant, ideally to start in mid-May 2019. This is a great opportunity for a college grad interested in public interest law, economic justice, and Supreme Court & appellate litigation: https://t.co/M7Hbwp83xs

Did SCOTUS's Bristol-Myers decision—which applied “settled principles of personal jurisdiction” to a mass action in state court—implicitly render unconstitutional many class actions in federal court? Our firm's brief in the first appeal on that issue: https://t.co/lnzc6oJ4M4

Victory for workers in Wisconsin! Yesterday a judge ruled that the GOP’s last-minute “power grab” to limit the powers of the incoming pro-worker Governor was unconstitutional in a lawsuit brought by SEIU and other unions. https://t.co/MRp53hnd1y

Judge:

"In December 2018 the Legislature and then-Governor Scott Walker upended the balance that this state has had for most all of its 171 years. The time has come to right this ship-of-state so Wisconsin can resume smooth sailing ahead."

The court today compares Wisconsin's Constitution to the "keel on a great ship" that "exists to maintain balance." "In December, 2018 the Legislature and then Governor Scott Walker upended the balance that this State has had for most all of its 171 years." https://t.co/BwTuGlElnD

This goes to show that having just a few smart and knowledgable consumer advocates in Congress can make a big difference.

Parents tend to underestimate—by a factor of two—the number of school absences their kids have, says @Kennedy_School's @Todd_Rogers_. One way to reduce those absences? An old-fashioned notice in the mail, conveying the real deal. Our EdCast has more. https://t.co/L44kxjZxxY

The name of this case is almost literally kids v. oil.

@drmtown made sure the kids won.

Wisconsin legislators were upset with last fall's election, so they passed laws letting them evade the Governor's veto, control government litigation, and more. Our suit on behalf of Wisconsin workers explains why those unconstitutional laws cannot stand: https://t.co/owZJHKTWi6
