Elizabeth Chamblee Burch holds the Fuller E. Callaway Chair of Law at the University of Georgia. She has a stunning publication record, published in the New York University Law Review, Cornell Law Review, Virginia Law Review, Vanderbilt Law Review, Washington University Law Review, Boston University Law Review and George Washington Law Review, among others. In 2015, Professor Burch was awarded the American Law Institute’s Early Career Scholars Medal in recognition of her work on class actions and multidistrict litigation, and its potential to influence improvements in the law. She teaches and researches civil procedure, class actions and mass torts. Her new book Mass Tort Deals was published last month by Cambridge University Press. The book is an excellent read and illuminates a highly complex area of litigation. Our conversation explored the role of repeat player lead plaintiffs’ and defense attorneys, the functions and control of the MDL judge, and, of course, we discussed the opioid litigation and how the state cases may impact any settlement.
