The Supreme Court has issued a number of important class action decisions in recent years. The Court’s landmark 2011 ruling in Wal-Mart v. Dukes has already greatly impacted class action litigation across the country, and during its recently concluded October 2012 term, the Court decided seven cases that are also likely to substantially affect the application of Rule 23. This presentation describes class action practice in the aftermath of Wal-Mart, and how litigants and courts must also navigate the Court’s most recent decisions addressing issues such as evidentiary standards for class certification and jurisdiction under the Class Action Fairness Act.
