As class actions have evolved, they have become larger and more complex,
requiring mastery of and compliance with ever-evolving case law. Authors
and editors Gregory Cook and Jocelyn Larkin, master class action
strategists and litigators, worked with other seasoned class action
lawyers to produce this essential practice guide for lawyers, judges,
and advocates and decision makers at every level.
This book provides practical guidance to lawyers on how to conduct a
class action, including both the plaintiff and defense perspective on
the key decisions during the class action battle. It looks at each major
phase of the action, from the filing of the action to settlement
decisions and mechanisms. The thorough, comprehensive, and sophisticated
treatment and discussion of all aspects of class action litigation makes
this text a vital and necessary addition to the libraries of class
action veterans and newbies alike.
