About This Course
Class action litigation is a constantly shifting and evolving area of jurisprudence. Although class litigation is often amongst the highest stakes of any litigation field, the nature of Rule 23 -which prescribes broad guidelines but few bright line rules -results in divergent and interesting debates, practically and academically.
This course will tackle critical recent developments in five different areas of the law related to class litigation-administrative feasibility, Article III jurisprudence, arbitration, class action settlements after the Rule 23(e) amendments, and attorneys' fees - with an eye towards both theorists and practitioners.
