How Does It Happen - A Peek Behind The WCAR Curtain

We are often asked - "How does it happen - how do you produce your Annual Workplace Class Action Report"?

The answer is pretty simple - "we live, eat, and breathe workplace class action law 24/7."

Each morning we check the previous day's filings of EEOC lawsuits and workplace class actions relative to employment discrimination, ERISA, and wage & hour claims. We do so on a national basis - both in federal courts and all 50 states. Then we check every ruling on Rule 23 certification and subsidiary issues throughout federal and state trial and appellate courts. This is also done on a national basis. We put this information in our customized database; we analyze and compare the rulings on class action issues and Rule 23 topics; and then we prepare an analysis of each decision.

Our class action practitioners - a group of over 120 Seyfarth lawyers - contribute to the process of building the database and analyzing decisional law on a daily basis.
