Later this week, DRI—an important professional organization that serves as a leading voice for the defense bar and in-house counsel—will once again hold its annual seminar on class actions in Washington, D.C.  I will be one of the speakers, and will be discussing recent developments affecting arbitration and class actions.  I plan to preview some of the issues that I’ll be discussing on the blog in the weeks to come.   More information about the seminar is available here.  I look forward to seeing readers of our blog and other friends and colleagues.
