John Roberti will participate on a panel titled "Who Wants to Be an Ethical Lawyer? A Game Show on Class Action Ethics," as part of the 2024 American Bar Association's Litigation Section Class Actions National Institute.

This interactive program will work through hypotheticals. Participants will learn about navigating practical ethical challenges in class litigation. A primary focus will be on settlements with individual class members, and questions addressed will include:

  • What ethical restrictions are there, if any, on defense counsel’s efforts to settle with the named plaintiffs or absent class members on an individual basis?
  • What ethical restrictions are there, if any, on plaintiffs’ counsel’s efforts to settle on behalf of individual named plaintiffs against defendants?
  • What ethical restrictions are there, if any, on lawyers or non-lawyers seeking to represent absent class members in seeking recovery as part of a class settlement?
