Litigation Increased From 2007 to 2008
February 25, 2009
Portfolio Media Inc.'s Law 360 Litigation Almanacs reports that U.S. District Court civil case filings increased 9% from 2007 to 2008, and class actions increased 8% (to 7,661). Employment cases were up just 6% from 2007. With the economy bringing layoffs and other terminations in large numbers, employment litigation will probably increase more in 2009 that other types of litigation.
