What is a Class Action Lawsuit?

Class action lawsuits allow a group, or “class,” of individuals affected by similar issues to file a lawsuit collectively against one defendant. This section will define class action cases, exploring their purpose and how they differ from individual lawsuits.

Criteria for a Class Action
