Class Action Attorney's Fees Expert - April Column

I write a monthly column entitled "Expert's Corner" in Class Actions Attorney Fee Digest.  My April column discusses incentive payments to plaintiffs, looking at why such payments are paid, to whom, in what circumstances, and how much they should be.  The column's jumping off point is a $1.25 million incentive payment to plaintiffs in a recent nationwide anti-trust case.  Spartanburg Regional Health Services Dist., Inc. v. Hillenbrand Indus., Inc., No. 03-2141 (D. S.C. 2006).
