Omschrijving
'The Cambridge Handbook of Class Actions: An International Survey is distinctive in collecting within a single volume penetrating analyses of developments around the globe bearing on the conduct of class actions and their analogs. This collection is not just a valuable research source, it is a story of how diverse legal cultures have traveled toward a common goal: the efficient and trustworthy resolution of mass claims.' James D. Cox, Brainerd Currie Professor of Law, Duke University

James D. Cox, Brainerd Currie Professor of Law, Duke University
'Countries around the world have come to realize that some mechanism for aggregating the similar claims of multiple litigants is crucial for access to justice. Fitzpatrick and Thomas have put together an essential collection of materials on global experimentation - including the US experience - that addresses both the promise and the challenge of finding the right policy balance.' Donald Langevoort, Thomas Aquinas Reynolds Professor of Law, Georgetown Law
'This volume analyzing the development of methods to aggregate cases in courts is itself an impressive aggregation of jurisdictions and perspectives that permits readers to understand the need for the use of class actions and the challenges that multi-party, group-based actions entail.' Judith Resnik, Arthur Liman Professor of Law, Yale Law School
Brian T. Fitzpatrick is Professor of Law at Vanderbilt Law School. His research focuses on class action litigation and federal courts. In 2010, he published what is still the most comprehensive empirical study of class action settlements in American federal courts. He is also the author of the provocative book, The Conservative Case for Class Actions (2019). Professor Fitzpatrick joined Vanderbilt's law faculty in 2007 after serving as the John M. Olin Fellow at New York University School of Law. He has clerked for Judge Diarmuid O'Scannlain on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and Justice Antonin Scalia on the U.S. Supreme Court. Professor Fitzpatrick practiced commercial and appellate litigation for several years at Sidley Austin in Washington, D.C., and served as Special Counsel for Supreme Court Nominations to U.S. Senator John Cornyn. Randall Thomas holds the John S. Beasley II Chair in Law and Business, Vanderbilt Law School. He works on issues such as hedge fund shareholder activism, executive compensation, corporate voting, corporate litigation, shareholder voting, and mergers and acquisitions. He joined the Vanderbilt law faculty in 2000 to develop and direct the Law and Business Program, having served previously for 10 years on the law faculty of the University of Iowa.
