The class cert games: Coach, commentator, or critic?

Joshua P. Davis

A chapter in The Law and Economics of Class Actions, 2014, vol. 26, pp 65-76 from Emerald Group Publishing Limited

Abstract: This article responds to James Keyte, Paul Eckles, and Karen Lent’s article “FromHydrogen PeroxidetoComcast: The New Rigor in Antitrust Class Actions” (“The New Rigor”). It argues thatThe New Rigoroffers valuable strategic advice to defense counsel – and insight into defense counsel’s strategic thinking – but is much less effective as an objective statement of the law or a normative argument for legal reform. In the parlance that I adopt,The New Rigorsucceeds in the role of coach but much less so in the roles of commentator and critic.
