DRI–The Voice of the Defense Bar has filed an amicus brief with the U.S. Supreme Court seeking review in the case of Jacobsen v. Allstate Insurance Co.
DRI’s brief points out that state and federal courts have issued conflicting decisions on this issue and that the Supreme Court’s review is necessary to ensure that lower courts no longer adopt class action procedures that violate the requirements of due process.
DRI brief authors David Axelrad, Felix Shafir, and Curt Cutting of Horvitz & Levy LLP in Los Angeles, California, are available for interview or for expert comment through DRI’s Communication Office.
