As we previously discussed, the Class Action Fairness Act (CAFA) requires that notice be given to state attorneys general (State AGs or AGs) about proposed class action settlements, enabling them to review the terms and raise any concerns if they believe the settlement might negatively impact their state’s residents. This creates a crucial role for State AGs in the class action settlement approval process, and in relatively rare instances they may act by filing amicus briefs to share their concerns with the court.
