Defending No-Injury Class Actions Post-Spokeo: Standing for Statutory Violations, State Court Litigation, and CAFA Removal
Recording of a 90-minute CLE webinar with Q&A
This CLE course will discuss the impact of Spokeo on “no-injury” class action cases, primarily in consumer protection and data privacy cases, how challenges to Article III standing in federal court impact plaintiffs who try to shift such class actions into state court where different standing rules may apply. The program will discuss challenges for defendants in defending no-injury class actions in state court and navigating the impact of Spokeo on CAFA removal.
