 Civil Justice Report 6 | Anatomy of a Madison County (Illinois) Class Action: A Study of Pathology, by Lester Brickman
Class action filings in these three counties increased sharply and disproportionately in recent years and were the subject of a study recently published by the Center for Legal Policy of the Manhattan Institute[3] (“the Study”).
Madison County’s reputation for being disproportionately receptive to class action filings is well-deserved—50 were filed there in 2001 versus 39 in 2000, about 20 times the national average on a per capita basis[5].
One judge in a jurisdiction such as Madison County can thus, in effect, “overrule” the decisions of numerous other judges throughout the country to deny certification of a suit seeking class action status.[7] No study of the class action phenomenon can therefore ignore the jurisdictions that have experienced extremely high rates of successful filings.
