Multidistrict litigation (“MDL”) is a procedure utilized in the federal court system to transfer all pending civil cases concerning similar types of cases filed throughout the United States to one federal judge in order to efficiently process the cases. MDL’s can involve hundreds or thousands of cases pending in dozens of different federal courts. The Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court appoints federal judges to sit on a panel (the “Panel”) that determines whether MDL is appropriate for a particular set of cases.
The goal of MDL is to conserve judicial resources and promote consistent court rulings among different lawsuits that involve similar legal issues. Rather than multiple judges issuing piecemeal and perhaps inconsistent rulings on identical issues, the MDL judge makes one decision that applies to all cases in the MDL.
