As I have noted in a series of posts recently, class action settlement objectors should not be taken lightly. (See this August 1, 2011 post and others cited within). Last week, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals offered an excellent case in point in its decision in In re Literary Works in Electronic Databases Copyright Litigation, No. [...]

Editor’s note: Earlier this month, I posted an entry entitled Class Action Claims Aggregators, the Latest Innovation in Entrepreneurial Litigation, an admittedly glib post that inaccurately described the phenomenon of private companies aggregating class action settlement claims for clients as a new one. As it turns out, these services have existed for years. Adam Savett, attorney and Director [...]

Recently, I have commented on two types of objectors in class action settlements. This March 31 entry discusses the problem of so-called “professional” objectors. And this April 12 entry addresses objections raised by government officials. There is at least one other type of organized objectors to class action settlements: public interest organizations. (I use the term “organized objectors” to distinguish these types [...]
