The MDL has decided on the steering committees for the Chinese drywall lawsuit and while they did not include the Berniard Law Firm, our firm is in a key position to be highly involved as pretrial motions go on in the city of New Orleans. U.S. District Judge Eldon E. Fallon appointed 14 different attorneys from across the country to deal with the defective sheetrock and pretrial motions will be handled in the Eastern District of Louisiana. Judge Fallon will coordinate pretrial litigation and discovery, and, upon completion, all filings will return to their original jurisdictions for trial.
