Our Engle card series continues, spotlighting some of the best attorneys across more than a decade of Florida’s “Engle progeny” tobacco litigation. That litigation includes thousands of cases spun from a class action against the nation's tobacco companies, which was ultimately decertified by the state’s supreme court. This week we feature Frank Bayuk, a leading Engle vet who has cleared R.J. Reynolds in more than a half-dozen Engle trials CVN has covered. 

Our Engle cards track the CVN trial stats of some of the best attorneys on both sides of Florida’s unique tobacco litigation. "Engle prodigy" cases, as they're widely known, include thousands of claims spun off from a decertified class action against the nation's tobacco companies, with the first Engle prodigy trial dating back to 2008.  This week, we're featuring Scott Schlesinger, an attorney whose Engle resume includes a half-dozen eight-figure-plus verdicts across a decade of trials. 

Courtroom View Network is the only news service in the country focused exclusively on gavel-to-gavel video coverage of civil trials. Among the trials we’re most focused on covering are those stemming from accidents involving trucks both large and small.

For more than a decade, the nation’s best tobacco attorneys have faced off in courtrooms across Florida as part of the state’s unique Engle progeny litigation. And in that time CVN has covered more than 200 Engle progeny trials, from the very first openings in 2008 to the latest trials this year.

In 2011 we first introduced our Engle Trading Cards to spotlight the best attorneys and provide a lighthearted way to track statistics in the ongoing litigation.  The cards have proven so popular over the years that we're bringing them back with a new, 4th edition collection.
