The 9th Circuit will also be hearing Dukes v. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., a sex discrimination class action suit that should prove interesting. Wal-Mart's contention is that class-action status was wrongly granted and the issue should be handled on an individual store basis. That, according to an article posted by BusinessWeek Online "could tilt the playing field for virtually all these kinds of lawsuits."
A copy of the class action certification is posted on a site maintained by Wal-Mart, but "pursuant to a protective order, no party may post documents that have been designated as confidential."
