I thought this was in reference to Aaron Judge and I was very confused why he had any say

> The suit was filed in 2014 by first baseman/outfielder Aaron Senne, a 10th-round pick of the Marlins in 2009 who retired in 2013, and two other retired players who had been lower-round selections: Kansas City infielder Michael Liberto and San Francisco pitcher Oliver Odle. They claimed violations of the federal Fair Labor Standards Act and state minimum wage and overtime requirements for a work week they estimated at 50 to 60 hours.

>$55 million will go to attorneys' fees, about $4.65 million to litigation costs, $995,000 in settlement administration expenses, $600,000 to class representatives in payments of $15,000 to 40 people and $37,500 to five named plaintiffs who are not class representatives in payments of $7,500 each. About $1.7 million will go to the California Labor and Workforce Development Agency.

Always interesting to see that the majority of these how much of these multimillion dollar suits are typically fees and expenses and not actual payments to the plaintiffs.

I’m heard this Judge Judy made like $40 mil last year and I was like, “I don’t even know that guy!”

That is just insane.

And close to a million for "settlement administration expenses" is more insane, isn't that just a fancy way to say we're paying a million dollars so they can wire the money?

Litigation costs are the fees spent pursuing or defending a legal claim or litigation. These charges may include attorney's fees, court filing fees, expert witness fees, and other costs associated with case preparation and presentation. In this case, it looks like the attorney fees and other litigation fees were separated.

Maybe I'm reading it wrong. From my understanding, the plaintiffs are sharing $600,000. An individual plaintiff is receiving a payment of $15,000 or $7,500, depending on their group.

There's a bunch of numbers there, so if I'm wrong, I apologize.

EDIT: yep, I misunderstood. $600,000 to the REPRESENTATIVES. The other $120 million goes to the players.

Thought it was talking about Aaron Judge and was impressed that he had the power.

I hate lawyers, for that very reason. Who profits from litigation? Lawyers, every time.
