April 2022: The MDL Paraquat class action judge will have a status conference on April 1st to review where the litigation is headed and how best to take the bellwether lawsuits forward for trial in November 2022. 44 new paraquat lawsuits have been added to the MDL in the last two weeks. At this pace, April 2022 will be the busiest month for new files yet. Last week, the parties filed their class-action bellwether picks with the Paraquat MDL judge. Those choices, however, have not been made public.
May 2022: In the last month, over 50 new cases have been added to the Paraquat Lawsuit Multidistrict Litigation (MDL). A group of six patients was recently selected by the Paraquat MDL court for the initial Paraquat Parkinson's disease bellwether trials. As a result, the first trial in November 2022 is approaching soon. The strategy is to select 16 paraquat claims from among the almost 1000 Parkinson's disease litigation claims filed. Following some limited fact discovery in these instances, paraquat attorneys on both sides submitted a preference list to the MDL court, ranking the 16 cases in order of priority. Attorneys for plaintiffs seek the finest facts for their clients, while defense attorneys want the worst. The judge whittled the list down to six Paraquat claims based on these rankings.

Former Berkeley High School chemistry teacher and coach, Matthew Bissell, faced multiple allegations of sexual misconduct spanning over two decades. Former students accused him of inappropriate behavior, including sexual harassment and assault, with some incidents dating back to the late 1990s. Despite numerous complaints, Bissell remained employed until 2021, when he resigned under a confidential agreement with the Berkeley Unified School District (BUSD). In 2021, nine women filed a lawsuit against Bissell and BUSD, alleging that the district failed to act on reports of his misconduct. In September 2024, BUSD agreed to a $13.5 million settlement with the plaintiffs, who accused Bissell of sexual harassment and abuse during their time as students.
Following these events, the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing revoked Bissell's teaching license in 2022. The settlement has prompted calls for BUSD to reform its handling of sexual misconduct allegations to better protect students and ensure timely investigations.
