This program will give a
detailed analysis of the recent US Supreme court decisions of Twombley and Iqbal and how they affect
pleadings standards. The program will address what is left of the Rule 8 "short and plain"
standard. In addition, the program will address recent federal cases from
the District of Minnesota which have applied
Twombley and Iqbal. The program will also address to what extent, if any,
these stricter standards have been applied in
Minnesota state courts.
Richard A. Lockridge, partner, heads the firm's
securities and class action practices. He is a 1974 honors graduate of
the University of Iowa Law School and a former Minnesota Assistant
Attorney General. He also was a law clerk to the Honorable Myron H.
Bright of the U.S. Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals. During the past
thirty years, Mr. Lockridge has been continuously active in business
litigation, focusing his practice on securities and antitrust
litigation. As just one example of his outstanding service to
shareholders, Mr. Lockridge was lead counsel in the In Re Piper
Funds, Inc. Institutional Government Income Portfolio Litigation, a
securities case in which the firm recovered $70 million for a class of
persons who purchased shares in the Piper Jaffray Institutional
Government Income Portfolio.
