Abstract

This Comment addresses recent developments in the law of class action waivers and certification. Specifically, it looks at three cases—Comcast, Concepcion, and Wal-Mart—in which the Supreme Court limited class action litigation and class arbitration. This Comment also addresses how the circuit courts are hesitant to follow the Supreme Court’s precedent.
