A Message From the Editor

President Trump's controversial pick for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit is getting a cold reception from some senators and he will likely face a rocky road to confirmation. That's according to our first item today, which takes a close look at the nomination. Also, Philadelphia is now home to two new mass tort programs - one over the blockbuster talc lawsuits and the other other hair relaxer litigation. The move marks the first time since 2022 that the court - a hotspot for product liability litigation - has established a new consolidated litigation program.

Thanks for reading!

– Max Mitchell, Regional Managing Editor
