Brenden Coller, a member of Cozen O'Connor's Commercial Litigation department, will be presenting "Debating Why the Issue of Ascertainaiblity is So Important in Defending Your Case." Set up as a moot court, you will witness some of plaintiffs’ most persuasive arguments for, and the most strategic ways defendants attack ascertainability in the class certification phase of food-related consumer class actions.

-
