Overview of Personal Litigation

A class action lawsuit is a legal proceeding in which a group of individuals collectively brings a claim to court against a common defendant. These individuals, known as the "class," have similar legal grievances, such as harm caused by defective products, securities fraud, consumer fraud, or unlawful business practices.

Discovery in civil litigation is the process where parties exchange relevant information and evidence to build their cases. It involves tools like interrogatories, depositions, and document requests to uncover facts and clarify issues before trial.

An antitrust action is a legal proceeding aimed at addressing practices that harm competition in the marketplace. These cases often involve claims of monopolization, price-fixing, bid-rigging, or other anti-competitive behaviors that restrict consumer choice or inflate prices. Antitrust actions can be brought by government agencies, such as the Department of Justice or Federal Trade Commission, or by private parties seeking to enforce laws that ensure fair competition and market integrity.

A civil RICO claim is a lawsuit brought under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act to address patterns of organized illegal activity, such as fraud, embezzlement, or extortion. Plaintiffs must prove that the defendant engaged in at least two related acts of racketeering activity within a 10-year period and that these actions harmed their business or property.

Personal jurisdiction in federal court refers to the court's authority to hear a case against a particular defendant, based on the defendant's connection to the forum state. It is established if the defendant has sufficient minimum contacts with the state, ensuring the exercise of jurisdiction complies with due process under the U.S. Constitution.
