Abstract

The article discusses the concept of class action federalism in America as of 2015, and it mentions the impacts that the U.S. Class Action Fairness Act (CAFA) is having on federal courts and litigation in the country. A separation of powers doctrine is examined, along with class certification claims and mass tort nationalism in America. Several class action cases are assessed, including Smith v. Bayer Corp., Zahn v. International Paper Co., and Amchem Products Inc. v. Windsor.
