The Class Action Fairness Act allows defendants to remove class actions to federal court under certain circumstances. See Third Circuit Weighs In On Burden Of Proof Under CAFA, Consumer Law & Policy Blog, Dec. 18, 2006, for a discussion of a case holding that the defendant has the burden of proof to show that the jurisdictional requirements are met.
Speaking of CAFA, the Loyola of Los Angeles Law Review has a symposium on it. For link and list of articles, see Just What You're Hankerin' For: A Bevy of Articles About CAFA, Consumer Law & Policy Blog, Dec. 14, 2006.
