At Tuesday's final pre-trial hearing, U.S. District Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein stopped to honor the memory of the nearly 3,000 who perished. He then set the rules for the court cases.
The newspaper said the families have refused to settle or take their share of the government’s September 11 Victims Compensation Fund.
