Class Actions for Selected Practice Areas

Class Actions in Selected Practice Areas provides a practical guide to litigating complex class actions in four areas: antitrust and competition, consumer protection, environmental and energy law and privacy. Written for attorneys representing plaintiffs or defendants, it explains the substantive claims, procedural requirements, evidentiary issues, and strategic considerations that can determine whether a class action proceeds, is certified, settles or is dismissed.

Class Actions in Selected Practice Areas places particular emphasis on the rigorous analysis required under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23. It examines standing, ascertainability, numerosity, commonality, typicality, adequacy, predominance, superiority, manageability, class definitions, damages methodologies and the treatment of uninjured class members. The publication also addresses the increasingly important role of expert testimony, economic analysis, scientific evidence, statistical models and Daubert challenges at the class-certification stage.
