Most of us have received a notice in the mail telling us that we are a member of a class action lawsuit.  Many of us wonder what it is and what it means.  A class action lawsuit is a claim in which a large group of people collectively bring a lawsuit.  The thought behind this action is it gives an individual the right to institute a law suit against the largest of corporations.  One of the requirements of instituting a class action lawsuit is that there must be commonality of issues.
