Court Approves Firm’s Proposed Procedures for Calculation of Damages from Embassy Bombing

The federal district court in Mwani v. United States et.al. approved bellwether hearings as a methodology for determining
damages against non-US government defendants in a case arising out of the 1998 Nairobi Embassy bombing. Bellwether
hearings minimize or eliminate the need to take live testimony from each of the hundreds of individual plaintiffs in the
case by permitting testimony to be applied, where appropriate, from some plaintiffs and experts, to the claims of other
plaintiffs. In a companion ruling, the court analyzed without deciding the complex choice of law questions which must be
decided in an international mass tort claim brought under the Alien Tort Claims Act.
