THE CLASS ACTION FAIRNESS ACT
In February 2005, Congress enacted the Class Action Fairness Act (CAFA). CAFA alters class action practice in state and federal courts throughout the United States. The law: changes the rules for federal diversity jurisdiction and removal, enabling most large class cases to be filed in, or removed to, federal court; restricts the practice of coupon settlements; and transforms the procedures for settling class actions in federal courts. CAFA contains a host of new, often complex, rules.
This site features a comprehensive
collection of cases
decided under or regarding CAFA, with summaries and full opinions for the included cases. Also featured is a collection of
CAFA resources, including
Professor Rubenstein's analysis of CAFA and
the full text of CAFA.
