Originally from Alternatives to the High Cost of Litigation

PAGE PREVIEW

During the CPR Institute’s 2019 Annual Meeting earlier this year, three of the nation’s top neutrals—all best known for tackling mass torts and cases involving the government—spoke in a roundtable discussion, in person and by telephone with Alternatives.

Last month’s issue featured Part 1 of the wide-ranging roundtable focusing on mass facilities conducted by then-publisher Noah Hanft and editor Russ Bleemer with neutrals Kenneth R. Feinberg, Eric Green, and Francis McGovern. See “A Facilities Roundtable: Feinberg, Green and McGovern Analyze their Own Approaches to Intractable Disputes,” 37 Alternatives 113 (September 2019) (available at http://bit.ly/2ksWanp).

Feinberg heads the Law Offices of Kenneth R. Feinberg in Washington (see https://feinberglawoffices.com), and has worked on many settlement claims facilities, including the Sept. 11 Victims Compensation Fund and BP’s Deepwater Horizon oil spill remediation. He is administering a $50 million facility for families of victims of crashes involving Boeing’s 737 MAX airplanes.
