What is a Key/Named/Lead Plaintiff in a class action lawsuit?
This is a very brief discussion of the role of a Named Plaintiff. Please contact a class action attorney for more details. A Named Plaintiff agrees to represent and protect the interests of the class, and to act with the highest degree of fidelity, honesty and loyalty and in the best interests of the class as a whole. Part of the Named Plaintiff’s responsibilities may include monitoring the progress of the case, reviewing pleadings, being called upon to give testimony in a deposition, responding to written discovery, answering questions Class Counsel have as the litigation progresses, appearing for trial, etc. There is more to being a Named Plaintiff, but Plaintiffs’ Counsel will explain this in depth to potential clients. Check out the Requested Settlements Section to express your interest in becoming a Lead Plaintiff in a class action lawsuit.
