Corporate & Securities Law

More class action resources

By Werner R. Kranenburg

One of the resources WV&Z has actually already used deserves more credit and a separate mention. In addition to its long-established Stanford Securities Class Action Clearinghouse, Stanford has created the Stanford Global Class Actions Exchange. Whereas the former only provides information on US federal class action securities litigation, the latter sets its sights on any form of collective litigation outside the US. GCAX includes several country reports, statutes, commentary and the contact details of mostly academics who specialise in research in the class action area of law.

Bruce Carton has also branched out. When at Garden City Group he maintained the GCG blog Best in Class. This blog unfortunately ceased to exist (and has been removed from the GCG website entirely) since he left the company. Over summer he maintained his own blog, Unusual Activity, which is now inactive and will be folded into his latest venture Securities Docket. Securities Docket, the Global Securities Litigation and Enforcement Report, aggregates securities litigation data from various sources and provides its own editorial content, updated throughout the day. (GCAX and Securities Docket are in the newly created Resources links section too, on the right.)

And finally a newcomer, ClassActionBlawg.com run by Baker & Hostetler LLP partner Paul G. Karlsgodt. This blog covers all types of class actions, including securities and derivative actions. WV&Z pays special attention to the posts tagged ‘International Class Action Law’.

Welcome (back) to all of you!
