Oral argument previews: Prachasaisoradej and Tobacco

Two cases involving UCL claims are set to be heard this morning at 9:00 a.m. in Los Angeles. Prachasaisoradej v. Ralph’s Grocery Co., no. S128576, is a UCL/employment case (decided on preemption grounds below). In re Tobacco Cases II, no. S128576, is a preemption case. For more detail, see these posts. If you attended one or both of these arguments, it would be great if you'd send me a report by email for posting here (with or without attribution). Meanwhile, the first report I received on the Gentry argument is immediately below.
