The IMPACT FUND CLASS ACTION Training Institute
Since 2007, the Class Action Training Institute has used an immersive model to lead small groups of students through all the stages of a mock class action case, from initial client meeting to mediated settlement. Over three days, students learn from experts in the field how to:
investigate and develop a class action
work with named plaintiffs and co-counsel
prepare a discovery plan
work with experts
prepare class certification motions
negotiate class settlements
This program is designed for practicing attorneys who have limited experience in class action litigation, attorneys with some exposure to general litigation, or attorneys who are looking to expand their plaintiff-side class action capacity.
