Adler” On Thursday, September 9, 2010 Attorney, Ms. Donna M. Adler will appear to instruct on how to navigate The Class Action Fairness Act, its expansions to Federal diversity and the exceptions to the Act. WHO – Attorney Donna M. Adler is a well-known Chicagoland attorney with a reputation for aggressively litigating for victims of consumer fraud which often includes class action suits. Donna Adler’s office is located in DuPage County in Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois. SUBJECT MATTER – The Act gives federal courts jurisdiction to certain class actions in which the amount in controversy exceeds $5 million, and in which any of the members of a class of plaintiffs is a citizen of a state different from any defendant, unless at least two-thirds or more of the members of all proposed plaintiff classes in the aggregate and the primary defendants are citizens of the state in which the action was originally filed. The Act also directs the Courts to give greater scrutiny to class action settlements. There are several exceptions to the applicability of the Class Action Fairness Act and we look forward to Donna Adler’s instruction on navigating the Act.
