Class Action

: CAFA Law Blog - Information, cases and insights regarding the Class Action Fairness Act of 2005

Does Palin know CAFA? You Betcha! Thanks to the 2007 University of Pennsylvania Law Review Symposium and Accompanying Articles.

Sure, we know, we know! Old Joe may know foreign policy, and O may know health care, and Mac may even know cutting congressional earmarks, but Palin knows CAFA! You know how we know, because this hockey-mom pulled off the CAFA hat-trick:

 “Do I know CAFA? You betcha I do! I know (1) the statute, (2) the history, and (3) the impact, and I know all of this thanks to the University of Pennsylvania Law Review Symposium from 2007, Fairness to Whom? Perspectives on the Class Action Fairness Act of 2005.” 

[The veracity of this direct quote cannot be verified, and in fact comes from one of our less reliable bloggers who smells of cabbage and liquor. But, the editorial staff is willing to bet that the substance is indeed attributable to Sarah Palin, or maybe Tina Fey, or maybe Sarah Baylin (the proprietor of Sarah’s Liquor Lodge).]

While you can’t attend the symposium now, the papers that comprised the discussion can be found in the University of Pennsylvania Law Review. We encourage you to check them out [listed below] and learn more about topics ranging from the history of the statute, its effect on jurisdictional questions, federalism, and settlements.
