You can get in on some pretty intense legal issues being heard by a Federal Panel in Boise on July 29 at 9:30 a.m.. This doesn't happen everyday. The United States Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation, known as the MDL Panel will be convening in Boise soon.
The Courthouse will open at 6:30 a.m. to get everyone situated. Seating is very limited so good luck finding a good spot.
The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court has appointed seven sitting federal judges to sit on the panel. The purpose of the panel is to determine if certain civil actions pending in separate federal districts involve common questions of fact to consolidate the matters and get rid of duplicitous actions and to select the court and the judges to preside over the proceedings.
The following is a list of some of the cases being argued in Boise. BP, Toyota Anti-Lock Braking, Transition Lenses Anti-Trust Litigation, JP Morgan Fair Labor Standards, H & R Block Wage and Employment Practices, Oil Spill by the Oil Rig "Deepwater Horizon" in the Gulf of Mexico, and Google Interception of Electronic Communications.
