Judicial Panel on Multi-District Litigation Sends BP Cases to New Orleans
As I predicted in an earlier post, the JPML has issued an order consolidating all of the federally filed BP cases in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana. In particular, the case was assigned to Judge Carl Barbier, who has an excellent reputation as a jurist. I believe this is an excellent choice.
Hitting the ground running, Judge Barbier has already issued the first order instructing the attorneys to appear in his court on September 17, 2010 to develop a strategy for managing this massive piece of litigation.
