What each issue carries
The month's movers. Each month the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation counts the pending actions in every docket it has centralized. The letter lists the dockets that gained and lost the most since the prior report, along with the MDLs the Panel created or closed.
Your dockets. Pick the MDLs you follow and the letter adds a section on each one. That section gives the current count, the change from last month and from a year earlier, and any ruling our docket watch flagged during the month.
The month's updates. The 2026 Mass Tort Map, the State AI Enforcement Tracker and the AI wrongful death docket are rewritten as their dockets move. Each issue lists what changed on them that month, with links to the pages.
New on Intelligencer. Each issue lists the analysis and interviews published since the last letter, with a line on each piece.
When it goes out
The Panel dates its report on the first business day of the month. The letter goes out after that report arrives and the map has been rewritten against it, usually in the first half of the month. One email a month, from editor@lawsuitintelligencer.com.
How the list is handled
The letter starts only after you confirm your address from the email we send. Your address and the MDLs you pick stay with Lawsuit Intelligencer and go to no one else. Every issue carries a link to change your MDLs and a one-click unsubscribe.
The counts come from the Panel's public reports, and the map's sources and method section explains how they are read. The letter is editorial content under the same editorial standards as the rest of the site.
