TILLERY RESIGNS FROM BOARD . . . In November, I criticized a new legal newsletter, Class Action Law & Strategy, as being more political tract than teaching tool. I also pointed out the oddity that lawyer Stephen Tillery, who seemed to be the subject of an attack in the newsletter's inaugural issue, also sat on its Board of Editors.

Updating the earlier post, I've now learned that Tillery has resigned from the Board of Law Journal Newsletters, which publishes Class Action Law & Strategy. I'm pretty sure of my sources, too: Tillery copied me on his resignation letter.

It's the newsletter's loss. As I wrote before, however, the newsletter was already lost. Its first issue inspired absolutely no confidence that it could bring class-action lawyers news about class actions. Recommended for tort reformers only.
