Our main story this week is an unusual lawsuit filed by MGM Resorts against the victims of last year’s mass shooting in Las Vegas -- and the public relations nightmare that followed. We’ll also break down a jury’s billion-dollar verdict against Johnson & Johnson over talcum powder; a judge’s rejection of a labor law settlement for McDonald’s; and a bizarre freedom of the press story that saw a judge deleting portions of the Los Angeles Times. We’re also asking for your help. Go to the ABA Journal’s website at http://www.abajournal.com/blawgs/web100/ and nominate us to appear on their annual Web 100 Amici list that compiles the best of the legal web, including podcasts like Pro Say. Hurry! Nominations are due by Tuesday, Aug. 7.
