Description

The Class Action Fairness Act: Law and Strategy 2nd Edition Gregory C Cook ISBN 9781639051571

This practical guide gives plaintiff and defense counsel a clear, balanced understanding of the statute, its legislative history, developing case law, and the strategic choices that can determine whether a case proceeds in state or federal court. Armed with this insight, attorneys can make more informed, tactical decisions in representing their clients.
