OK, it's not exactly the Hatfields and McCoys (the Hatfield clan is shown here, circa 1897), but in this press release dated June 29, 2006, Milberg Weiss and Lerach Coughlin announced a proposed settlement of the securities class action against Imperial Chemical Industries, PLC.  In an odd twist, the now-divided Milberg Weiss and Lerach Coughlin law firms somehow ended up as co-lead counsel in this case.  According to the SCAS database, however, these firms serving as co-lead counsel is not as rare as one might assume:  our database shows that this has occurred in 10 cases (8 settled, 1 dismissed, 1 still active).

The amount of the proposed settlement in the Imperial Chemical case?

[Drum roll...]

$3.8 million, less 1/3 for attorneys' fees and $100,000 in expenses.
