Callaway Chair of Law Elizabeth Chamblee Burch has published her findings from six years of research in “Mass Tort Deals: Backroom Bargaining in Multidistrict Litigation.” She backs up that title with a searchable database of 22 years of cases she has reviewed, which she has made available on her book website. “It’s not perfect.
