The DRI Class Action Compendium (2011) is a comprehensive guide designed to provide civil defense lawyers and corporate counsel with an understanding of the intricacies of class action practice and how class action rules differ from state to state. Also included is a chapter on Canadian class action jurisprudence. The compendium includes in-depth analyses of a number of critical areas, including:

  • what kinds of class actions are permitted and how each state treats federal class action jurisprudence
  • who can bring a class action
  • enforcement of arbitration clauses
  • challenging pleadings based on jurisdiction and venue
  • certification procedure and criteria
  • notice requirements

The compendium addresses special considerations with respect to consumer fraud class actions, pre- and post-certification communications with class members, and settlement and post-trial issues. It will also include a first-look analysis of this Supreme Court term's three major class action opinions: Wal-Mart v. Dukes, Smith v. Bayer, and AT&T Mobility v. Concepcion.
