Meyer & O’Connor issues Quarterly Update for first quarter of 2010 discussing impact of the Supreme Court decisions in Twombly and Iqbal on state court pleading standards

In April 2010, Meyer &O’Connor issued its Quarterly Update for the First Quarter of 2010, which focuses on the impact of the United States Supreme Court’s decisions in Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly, 127 S.Ct. 1955, 550 U.S. 544 (2007) and Ashcroft Et Al. v. Iqbal, 129 S.Ct. 1937, ___ U.S. ___ (2009)—which replaced the “no set of facts…”standard for assessing the adequacy of a complaint with a “plausibility standard”—on state court pleading standards.
