At 9/11 Trial, Lawyers Will Watch the Clock - NYTimes.com

Judge Alvin Hellerstein has informed counsel that he will limit trial time to one month in the only wrongful death action against the airlines and others whose negligence is alleged to have facilitated the 9/11 catastrophe.  90 cases settled.  Thousands accepted the compensation offered by the September 11 Victims Compensation Fund


According to the Times 
Donald A. Migliori, a lawyer for the Bavises, said limiting the trial to one month and dividing the time equally — he made the 50- to 60-hour estimate — was ambitious for a case of such magnitude, particularly for his client, the plaintiff, who bears the burden of proof. The lawsuit contends that the hijackers were able to board United Airlines Flight 175 in Boston because of negligence by United and other defendants, which include an airport security firm.
