In 1996, Congress prohibited Legal Services Corporation (“LSC”) grant recipients from initiating or participating in class actions. Class actions also can be resource-intensive, expensive, and prolonged. As a result, many direct services providers are turning to impact or systemic litigation, cases brought on behalf of one or a few plaintiffs with the potential to bring significant change to others. Join Novella and Lindsay for tips on identifying impact cases, selecting plaintiffs, framing claims, and maximizing litigation for its greatest benefit.
