Abstract
New' legislation imposing varied changes on class actions in different fields of law manifests the decline of a single transsubstantive federal civil procedure. It reflects Congress' substantive concerns, but also suspicion of plaintiffs' lawyers and judges: the private law enforcement that was to supplement a distrusted government is now itself distrusted by some. Mass tort settlement class actions merit such distrust, at least when defended by predictions that asbestos or other suits will otherwise proliferate without bound.
