What is a class action?
It's simple. A class action is a lawsuit filed by one or more plaintiffs (who are known as the "named plaintiffs") on behalf of others who have a similar legal claim. Because they allow people to join together as a group in one lawsuit against common defendants, class actions are important for consumers.
Why are class actions important?
The ability to join together in one lawsuit is particularly important for our judicial system to function efficiently. Without class actions, thousands, possibly millions of claims might theoretically flood the court system. Instead, the class action procedure encourages the filing of one single case on behalf of all people harmed, minimizing the need for thousands of individual cases. More importantly, class actions encourage more responsible behavior on the part of corporate defendants.
Why are class actions under attack?
Over the past several years, certain corporations, PAC's, and other interests have attacked class actions and the attorneys who bring them. Much of this criticism has been unfounded.

The old adage "power in numbers" holds true in class action cases. By spreading the costs of litigation, which can be substantial, among many people, each individual claim can achieve justice. Class actions, comprised of groups of consumers working together to stand up for their rights, demand the attention of corporations and other wrongdoers.
