Jennie Lee Anderson Speaks About Prevailing at Class Certification at the AAJ Winter Convention in Maui

On January 30, 2010, AA LLP partner, Jennie Lee Anderson, spoke to attendees at the American Association for Justice Winter Convention in Maui about how to prevail at class certification in document-based cases, including class actions regarding mortgage fraud.  The focus of the presentation was on three recent decisions wherein courts certified classes finding that common documents predominated over individual issues.  Among the cases highlighted were the Ninth Circuit’s decision inYokoyama v. Midland Nat’l Life Ins. Co., and the Northern District of California’s class certification order in Lymburner v.  U.S. Financial Funding.  Ms. Anderson is counsel of record in the Lymburner  case and successfully argued Plaintiff’s motion for class certification in the case.
