From the supplier: The American Trial Lawyers' Assn and several other bodies oppose changes to Rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure proposed by the Committee on Rules of Practice and Procedure of the Judicial Conference of the United States. The suggested amendments would allow cost-benefit analyses before certification of class actions, permit courts to certify settlement classes that might not otherwise qualify, and set up special appeals procedures. In response, ATLA's Board of Governors adopted a new policy on class actions.
