What is a Class Action?
The federal court system and state court systems have rules of civil procedure allowing class actions. A class action is a procedural device whereby an aggrieved plaintiff sues on behalf of herself and all others similarly situated. There are two primary purposes served by the class action: (1) it promotes efficiency by allowing a court to adjudicate the claims of many persons in one action; and (2) it makes it possible for persons whose claims are too small to justify the cost of bringing individual litigation to have their day in court.

Class actions are an important part of the American legal system, often providing the only effective redress for consumers who are injured by large commercial interests. Most class action plaintiffs are represented by law firms which take such cases on contingency, advancing the costs of the litigation and receiving payment only if a successful result is obtained for the class.
