Donald Trump complained of unfair treatment in defiant and rambling testimony on the witness stand at his New York civil business-fraud trial on Monday, prompting Judge Arthur Engoron to threaten to cut his testimony short.

“Mr Kise, can you control your client?” Engoron asked Trump’s lawyer, Christopher Kise. “This is not a political rally. This is a courtroom.”

Trump often avoided direct answers, instead bragging about his properties and his wealth and questioning the motivations of New York Attorney General Letitia James, a Democrat, who brought the case. Read more about Trump’s testimony.

A U.S. National Institutes of Health study last October found an association, though not a causal link, between frequent use of relaxers and uterine cancer. The companies deny the allegations and have asked a judge to dismiss the cases, which face various legal hurdles. Read more.

In Wawa class action, appeals court tosses fee award that’s higher than class recovery

A new 3rd Circuit decision addressing fee awards for class action lawyers asks a piquant math question: If a trial judge opts to calculate fees based on a percentage of the class fund, should that percentage be based on the total size of the fund available to class members? Or should lawyers for the class receive only a percentage of the money actually paid out to class members? Alison Frankel examines how the 3rd Circuit answered those questions. Spoiler alert: It’s complicated.
