The JDSU Verdict: Lessons from a Securities Class Action Trial

On March 25, 2009, Cornerstone Research is sponsoring a webcast entitled "The JDSU Verdict One Year Later: Lessons from the Largest Securities Class Action Trial in History" that will feature two of the key players in that historic trial. Jordan Eth, co-lead trial counsel for JDS Uniphase and several individual defendants, and Allan Kleidon, testifying expert for the defense on damages and causation issues, will lead a discussion of the extraordinary lessons learned from the rarest of events: a jury trial in a securities class action lawsuit. The panel will discuss their experience in defending this massive securities class action at trial, including the unique challenges, trial tactics and considerations posed by a trial in this type of case. In addition, the panel will discuss the effective use of expert witnesses in a securities class action trial. Please join Jordan Eth, a partner at Morrison & Foerster LLP, and Allan Kleidon, Senior Vice President with Cornerstone Research, as they address these topics as well as your questions in a free, one-hour webcast. Moderated by Securities Docket's Bruce Carton.
