The Defensive Use of Federal Class Actions in Mass Torts

Abstract

There is an unusual confluence of opinion from the political right and left in opposition to federal settlement class actions in mass torts. Exploring various theories to explain this phenomenon may assist our understanding of the challenges facing appellate courts as they confront a host of class action issues driven by trial judges' attempts to resolve their mass tort backlog.
