A proposed $50-million settlement over a customer-data breach at Yahoo was blocked. The judge said plaintiffs’ lawyers requested too much compensation for their own work.
“The rules are to ensure that class members are adequately protected,” said Neal Marder, an attorney with Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld in Los Angeles. “Lawyers come up with clever ways to settle a case that isn’t always in the best interest of the class.” Plaintiffs’ lawyers sought $520,000 in fees for negotiating the settlement with Subway, even though most customers understand that variations in bread-making mean sandwiches may not be exactly 12 inches long, the court ruled. It said such deals amounted to “rackets” for lawyers.
“Judges will want a genuine assessment of the value of the case,” said Thomas Loeser, an attorney with plaintiff law firm Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro in Seattle. “The new guidelines will make all class settlements better because judges will be equipped to detect marginal cases.”

More California students may be banned from using cellphones at school under new billCalling smartphones a distraction from learning, a California lawmaker wants to follow the lead of France and require school districts to adopt policies that restrict or prohibit students from using them on campus. No way should a child have access to a phone in school. Period. If I were a teacher, I'd gather up the children's phones, bring them to the principal's office, and let the parents come in to school to pick them up. Children should not have phones. Period. (...but what if its an emergency?.. Shut up and stop whining, dummy!) lacunalingua Easy. Phone in locker or confiscated. The school buys a jammer. We did. Too many cheating and abusing the privilege. Landlines work.
