  "definition": "Multidistrict Litigation: A special federal legal procedure designed to consolidate numerous similar lawsuits filed in different federal districts into a single court for pretrial proceedings. This process aims to promote efficiency and consistency in complex cases involving common questions of fact, such as mass torts or product liability claims. After pretrial, cases may be remanded to their original courts for trial, though many settle during the MDL process.",
