Notable Verdicts
Morelaw is a free reporting service that plaintiff and defense lawyers use. So, it is not necessarily a representative cross-section of verdicts. In our opinion, the plaintiff’s bar reports favorable outcomes more frequently than the defense bar reports favorable outcomes. www.morelaw.com
