Prominent Speakers Scheduled For AAJ Class Action Litigation Group Meeting

The newly formed AAJ Class Action Litigation Group will meet for the first time on February 8, 2009 at the AAJ Winter Conference in New Orleans, Louisiana. Our firm is co-chair of this group. It is the first time that AAJ has established a specific class action litigation group nationally. There will be a number of very good speakers at this meeting.

Ken Moscaret is a nationally recognized expert on the reasonableness of awards in class action lawsuits. He is very well known for his work in the Enron litigation. Mr. Moscaret is widely regarded as one of the nations leading authorities on attorney’s fees in class actions. Arthur Bryant, Executive Director of Public Justice, will also speak to the group. Arthur will speak on cy pres awards in class actions, which are awards given to third parties usually in some type of charitable or public policy fashion. He is widely regarded as one of the best public interest and class action lawyers in the United States. Ken has received numerous awards for his accomplishments in this field.

AAJ is very pleased to have lined up such a distinguished panel of nationally recognized speakers. We urge all lawyers who do this sort of work to join the Class Action Litigation Group and attend the meeting in February. For more information contact Jay Aughtman with our firm at 800-898-2034.
