Both before and after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, in its 2015 Glatt v.

For at least three years, Leeds Brown Law and Virginia & Ambinder have sought to take advantage of what they see as the state's “much more liberal interpretation” of what is required for class certification.
But now, even Virginia & Ambinder seems to be looking closely at how much life remains in bringing these actions in a New York court.
