In re Juul Labs, Inc. Antitrust Litigation

 On March 19, 2026, WLF asked the Ninth Circuit to grant Altria leave to appeal a district court’s class-certification order. In its amicus brief, WLF contends that the order violates federalism and due process by improperly applying California’s Cartwright Act to out-of-state transactions and harms. The state-by-state variations in antitrust laws pose insuperable obstacles rendering class litigation both unmanageable and unconstitutional.
