GWfool, I was approached by a whistleblower with a huge pharma case. At that time, you are correct, I was very green and sought the assistance of a well-known highly respected mass tort lawyer in mississippi (remember mississippi doesnt have a class action mechanism -- its one of the only states that does not). As a result, we filed our case in New Jersey, where the pharma giant was located. We drew a favorable judge, certified the class and the rest was history. Granted our case was worth more than 100m, but we realized that pigs get fat and hogs get slaughtered. And yes, i have read gris's king of torts which is nothing like reality. he speaks from a journalistic point of view.

Besides GW fool, you know not what you talk about and you've read too many novels. There is no need to sign up lots of clients in a class action. All you actually need is one client who has claims or damages that are representative of many. And it is actually preferred to include only one named plaintiff in a class action. The reason for this is when you start naming more than one class representative, you risk the chance that the individual claimants claims/situations will contradict each other --- which will result in the judge denying your class action b/c there would not be common issues between the putative class members.
