"Defending the Class Action Trial"

By Kimberly A. Kralowec

ADVERTISEMENTS

Monday's Daily Journal had an interesting Perspective article, "Defending the Class Action Trial" (link not available), by attorney James Donato of Shearman & Sterling in San Francisco.  It begins:

Class action trials. It is probably safe to say that more lawyers have seen a double rainbow or climbed Mt. Everest than have tried a class action case. Most practice guides offer little or no commentary on the unique trial issues that can arise in class cases.

The article goes on to discuss (from a defense perspective, as the title promises) some of those issues, including "how to explain the class action to the jury," "the absence of a strong plaintiff representative at trial," and "the predominance of live witnesses on the defense side."  For plaintiffs' attorneys, the lesson is to be sure you make a strong showing of aggrieved plaintiff-side witnesses.
