The comments came in a virtual discussion with U.S. District Judge Beth Freeman of California's Northern District and U.S. District Judge Virginia Phillips of the state's Central District during the third annual Western Alliance Bank Class Action Law Forum, hosted by the University of San Diego School of Law.
