Abstract
Historically group litigation has served defendants as much as plaintiffs. Only in the last few decades has the class action operated primarily to empower plaintiffs. The settlement class represents defendants' invocation of the class action against plaintiff. To that extent, the settlement class resembles the defendant class. If one could free it from the justified concerns about lawyer-client conflicts, the settlement class might serve both ajudicatory efficiency and procedural thought.
