Professor Travis Ramsey’s article, Interlocutory Appeals in Complex Litigation: A Rule 23(f), was published in Tulane Law Review.
In the Article, Professor Ramey looks to the reasons for the creation of Rule 23(f) and applies them to the collective action. He concludes that, given that the same “death knell plus” justification for Rule 23(f) applies equally to collective-action certification decisions, consistency requires a similar exception to the final judgment rule for collective-action-certification decisions.
Professor Ramey is a clinical assistant professor of law and director of the Appellate Advocacy Clinic.
