Common-Benefit Fund Percentage Assessment Bench-Bar Summit
Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law — July 10, 2025
The Center will hold a Bench-Bar Leadership Summit on Common-Benefit Fund Assessment Percentage at the Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law on July 10, 2025.
Fifteen federal judges will join 20 practicing lawyers and other experts on five panels considering potential solutions to the identified problems. Registrations for the summit will be limited to a maximum of 15 additional lawyers and other experts. The smaller size and the addition of more federal judges will ensure an in-depth analysis and enhance the likelihood that courts will adopt the practical solutions recommended in the Center’s forthcoming best practices.
Panelists are being selected with the Center’s advisory-council members given priority consideration.
Please forward any suggestions on how to best address problems that you experienced with common-benefit fund percentage assessments and narrowing of issues earlier in litigation in mass-tort MDLs at contact@rabiejcenter.org.
