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.

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.
