By Kimberly A. Kralowec

The Seventh Circuit has recently handed down two new decisions relating to class action procedure (in addition to the new CAFA "less is not more" decision discussed at this blog post):

• In Rahman v. Chertoff, ___ F.3d ___ (7th Cir. Jun. 26, 2008), the court reversed an order granting nationwide class certification of "a class of citizens who have been delayed in reentering the United States from abroad as a result of watch lists maintained by the Department of Homeland Security." [Via How Appealing]

• In Larson v. JP Morgan Chase & Co., ___ F.3d ___ (7th Cir. Jun. 23, 2008), the court discussed American Pipe tolling (among other interesting topics).
