The Bartz Class Counsel and Authors Guild will host a Zoom webinar about the class settlement on Jan. 13, 2 PM EDT.
Judge Martínez-Olguín, who took over the case following Judge Alsup’s retirement, granted the parties’ request for a 2-week extension of the deadline for class members to opt out of or object to the settlement. The deadline is now Jan. 29.
Here’s the announcement:
Have questions about the Bartz v. Anthropic class action settlement? Attorneys from the case will join us to provide a brief overview of the lawsuit and the $1.5 billion class settlement, followed by audience Q&A to answer your questions.
This webinar will feature Rachel Geman of Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein, LLP, and Michael Adamson of Susman Godfrey. As we approach the deadline for submitting a claim, the attorneys will explain what authors and other rights holders need to know. Umair Kazi, Director of Policy and Advocacy at the Authors Guild, will also be available to answer questions.
A Q&A will follow the presentation; you can pre-submit a question when registering for the event. The event will take place via Zoom with automatic closed captioning. To request any other accessibility features, please email support@authorsguild.org and we will make every effort to accommodate.
