After law school, Ms. Luhana clerked for the Honorable Marina Corodemus, who at the time was the only sitting Mass Tort Judge of New Jersey. As a law clerk to Judge Corodemus, Ms. Luhana was responsible for managing thousands of mass tort cases, as well as class actions, and Ms. Luhana worked closely with Judge Corodemus to develop case management orders and strategies for efficiently and effectively managing and disposing of the cases. The important national actions Ms. Luhana worked on as a law clerk included actions involving various pharmaceutical drugs such as Rezulin, Propulsid and PPA. She also oversaw other non-pharmaceutical actions, including a highly publicized consumer fraud class action against Cooper Tire and an environmental mass tort against Ciba Geigy.
During her career, Ms. Luhana has served on committees in MDLs involving defective pharmaceuticals and medical devices, including the Discovery Committee in the Guidant MDL. Ms. Luhana has also actively litigated significant consumer class actions. She was class counsel in the ETS nationwide litigation that resulted in a settlement of $11.1 million for teaching candidates who were inaccurately scored on PPLT tests. Ms. Luhana also litigated a national consumer fraud action against IBM that resulted in a $35 million settlement for purchasers of defective IBM hard drives.
Ms. Luhana is currently a member of the team working on In re Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, one of the largest securities class actions in history.
Ms. Luhana is admitted to practice in the States of New Jersey and New York, the U.S. District Courts for the District of New Jersey, the Southern District of New York and the Eastern District of New York.
