Psychology, Sociology and Law Converge in Amon Gordon’s NFL Concussion Appeal to the Third Circuit
On Tuesday, in response to a show cause order asking why the Third Circuit should accept a concussion settlement claim appeal, Wendy Fleishman of Lieff Cabraser filed two briefs supporting her client Amon Gordon and opposition responses were filed by the NFL and Lead Class Counsel Christopher Seeger.
