Multidistrict Litigation – MDLs Pending
Congress created multidistrict litigation (MDL) to consolidate federal complex litigation filed in multiple district courts into one court. The cases must have one or more questions of fact in common. One federal district court judge manages the litigation during the pretrial and discovery process through trial. Instead of having judges across the nation try cases involving the same issues, product or manufacturer, one MDL judge presides over all of the cases. Pending products liability MDLs as of March 1, 2021 include:
