Over the last several terms, the U.S. Supreme Court has issued opinions touching on a wide array of issues in class action law, including removal, certification, arbitration, and settlement. This year will be no different. In the upcoming term, the Supreme Court will decide three cases that could each substantively impact the class action landscape. Interestingly, all three cases touch on standing under Article III of the U.S. Constitution.

Dukes2 and Comcast v. Behrend.3
