Twombly and Iqbal Webinar
Since the U.S. Supreme Court’s rulings in Twombly and Iqbal —which updated the Conley “any set of facts” standard for motions to dismiss, and confirmed that the new plausibility standard applies to all civil cases— federal courts and some state courts have wrestled with how to apply the clarified pleading standards to all sorts of complaints.
BNA is holding a webinar on Wednesday, November 17, and my partner Stephen J. McConnell and I will be on a panel to discuss the impact of the rulings on plaintiffs and the courts.
The seminar will be November 17, 2010; 1:00 PM – 2:30 PM EST.
Topics to be discussed will include:
■ Have courts granted significantly more motions to dismiss in the wake of these cases?
■ Have plaintiffs’ attorneys risen to the challenge of meeting the plausibility standard laid out in the cases?
■ What types of claims have been most affected since the rulings came down?
■ Will Congress respond to these decisions?
