To understand the differences in each circuit's laws, 2018 Survey of Federal Class Action Law: A Circuit-by-Circuit Analysis contains an up-to-date analysis of class action law in each of the Federal Circuits. It is a valuable tool for both in-house and outside counsels who confront the prospect of litigating class actions in Federal Circuits with which they may have little or no experience and must make informed recommendations on removal. Succinct summaries are prepared by litigators from each of the respective Circuits and address changes in rules and statutes as well as significant case law.
