The Product Liability practice area has the highest volume of cases in the Lex Machina database due to the large number of multidistrict litigation ("MDL") cases. The report includes analytics about case filings, districts, judges, parties, law firms, and more. Each section discusses analytics including MDL associated cases and non-MDL associated cases in order to gain particular insight into this unique practice area. This report features Federal District Court data from 2010 to 2019, with a focus on the last five years.
