Southeastern Milk Antitrust Litigation. The joint defense team retained Cornerstone Research to work with three economic experts—Kenneth Elzinga, Joseph Kalt, and Catherine Morrison Paul—to address allegations that the largest Southeastern milk processors allocated the market and fixed prices for fluid milk from 2002 to 2009. The members of the purported class purchased processed milk directly from the defendants. The case history includes a decision by the Sixth Circuit prior to the denial of class certification by the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee.
