More than 100 attorneys and judges attended the University of Miami School of Law Class Action Forum, with the first panel kicking off with two federal district court judges, a defense lawyer and a plaintiff attorney, who discussed the increasing number of trials in class actions.
U.S. Senior District Judge Frederico Moreno, who sits in the Southern District of Florida, highlighted that less than 1% of civil cases go to trial, and even fewer class actions are heading to trial. Still, he noted an uptick in recent years.
