This book provides a comprehensive, step-by-step approach to initial case analysis, review of potential problem areas, sample forms, and other summaries of requirements for class action practice. It includes effective tactics and strategies and covers substantive and procedural law, including extensive case and statutory references. It contains California cases, statutes, and local rules and includes more than 200 pages of forms from the author's case files, as well as defense forms. It explores "pitfall" cases, attorney's fees, and making and opposing nearly every type of motion. The California Court of Appeal recently called this book a "leading practical treatise."
