What is Multi District Litigation?
Multidistrict litigation (MDL) is a federal legal procedure in which all pending civil cases of a similar type with common questions of fact that have been filed throughout the United States are transferred to one federal judge for pre-trial proceedings. The purpose of this procedure is to speed up the process of handling complex cases in the federal court system, such as product liability suits or patent infringement cases. By centralizing the pre-trial process, the resources of the parties, counsel and judiciary are conserved and duplicative discovery and inconsistent pretrial rulings can be avoided. This process is governed by 28 U.S.C. § 1407 of the United States Code.
The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML) is the special body that has the authority to decide whether civil actions pending in more than one jurisdiction should be consolidated and where they should be transferred.

Also considered is whether transfer would be convenient for the parties and witnesses, the residence of the principal witnesses, the locations where the actions were initially filed and the likelihood that transfer will avoid conflicting rulings. Economy and convenience become the prevailing factors. Once it is determined that transfer is appropriate, the Panel must select the appropriate judicial district to handle the litigation. There are no statutory guidelines governing the assignment of the consolidated case, but the Panel considers the location of the judicial district in relation to that of the parties, the business headquarters of the parties, the location with the most relevant documents, and how easily the location of a judicial district can be reached.
