Episode 1: WCAR Litigation Trend #1: The Impact Of COVID-19

In this episode, Gerald L. Maatman, Jr. explores how the COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the legal system in general and workplace class actions in particular in 2020. The pandemic spiked class actions (of all varieties) and litigation over all types of workplace issues. As the pandemic took hold, the plaintiffs’ bar retooled their class action theories to match.
