Philadelphia, PA (PRWEB) November 18, 2014 -- Tomorrow in Philadelphia, Federal Judge Hon. Anita Brody will preside over a "Fairness Hearing" regarding the NFL Concussion Settlement. On the television program The American Law Journal that aired on Monday, November 17, 2014 on the Philadelphia CNN-News affiliate WFMZ-TV a panel of attorneys and sports experts discussed how opposing plaintiffs’ groups differ greatly on the covered health issues, who is eligible, and amount of monetary relief.
