The court adopted Winston’s position that state-created corporations that are formally liable for their own judgments are not arms of the state, reversing the Pennsylvania Supreme Court’s dismissal of Cedric Galette’s negligence suit while affirming the New York Court of Appeals’ decision allowing Jeffrey Colt’s case to proceed....Read more

What Is Advertising Litigation?

Advertising litigation is defined as the legal area that covers false or deceptive advertising cases.
