What Is a Class Action?

A class action is a procedural device that allows one or more persons, usually plaintiffs (though federal and state procedural rules also authorize defendant classes) to file suit on behalf of a group of similarly situated persons. Federal law defines a class action as “any civil action filed under Rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure or similar State statute or rule of judicial procedure authorizing an action to be brought by 1 or more representative persons as a class action.”  28 U.S.C. § 1332(d)(1)(B), (d)(8)....Read more

What Is Removal Law?

Removal is a procedural mechanism through which a case filed in state court may be transferred to federal court upon the request of one or more parties.

Generally speaking, removal is possible if (1) the plaintiff(s) and defendant(s) are citizens of different states and the case places more than $75,000 in controversy (so-called “diversity” jurisdiction), or (2) the case turns on issues of federal law (so-called “federal question” jurisdiction). In many cases, defendants prefer to be in federal court, and so defendants often analyze early in the case whether removal is possible. ...Read more
