During the 2010-11 term, the U.S. Supreme Court decided four important class action appeals including the Court’s landmark Wal-Mart decision, which garnered the lion’s share of academic and media attention. See Wal-Mart Stores Inc. v. Dukes, 131 S. Ct. 2541 (2011). This fall the court returns to its interest in class litigation, hearing two appeals on November 5.

See Amgen Inc. v. Connecticut Retirement Plans and Trust Funds, No. 11-1085, and Comcast Corp. v. Caroline Behrend, No. 11-864.
