Learning From Wal-Mart, Melissa Hart

Publications

This article considers the landmark gender discrimination class action, Dukes v. Wal-Mart Stores, both as a prototype of an emerging litigation strategy and also as a case that is entirely unique. As part of a growing trend of gender discrimination class claims, Dukes has the potential to push the boundaries of the law to confront the pervasive, tenacious stereotypes that continue to limit women's workplace opportunities.

Class Actions Under Rule 23(B)(2): A Type Of Class Action Which Does Not Require Eisen Notice, Gary L. Eby

Cleveland State Law Review

This comment will address the subject of class actions under Federal Rule 23(b) (2) and will trace the development of notice requirements, taking note of the split of authority on the issue.
