B2 – Mediating Class Actions – Aaron Weiss (1.2 CME General)
$5.00
Video recording: Class action mediation is a unique type of mediation. This is because a mediated class settlement will bind the rights and obligations of absent participants (class members), raise serious due process concerns (far broader than the mechanics of notice), present detailed issues with respect to the defendant(s)’ obtaining of complete peace, and are subject to scrutiny and analysis by the trial judge and potentially appellate judges. Mediators who have not had much experience with class actions should be aware of special issues related to mediating class actions.
