Claims against class action lawyers are a growing focus of legal malpractice lawsuits. Aside from dissident opt-out plaintiffs, and subclasses, some of those lawsuits have been brought as class actions. The panelists will examine recent cases where the plaintiffs sought to push the liability boundaries, including as to claims for errors in jury selection. Also to be discussed are recent cases that examine the place of traditional legal concepts, such as the collateral source rule and the double-recovery rule, in legal malpractice claims.
This panel is part of the LMRM Conference’s Legal Malpractice Track.
