Judge to Brockovitch: Get Out of 90210

Via The Legal Reader: Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Wendell Mortimer, Jr., has dismissed claims brought by Masry & Vititoe (the law firm that Erin Brockovich-Ellis calls home) alleging that students exposed to fumes from an oil rig at Beverly Hills High School later developed cancer as a result of the exposures. An explanatory opinion will reportedly follow. The plaintiffs vow to appeal.
