TRENTON, N.J. ¨C On Tuesday, September 16, from 12-2p.m. at the Trenton Country Club, Ted

Frank, the president and founder of the Center for Class Action Fairness, will deliver remarks at the

New Jersey Civil Justice Institute¡¯s Fall Luncheon.

Since its founding in 2009, the Center for Class Action Fairness (CCAF) has revolutionized the law

of class action settlements by serving as a watchdog for consumer and shareholder rights.

Through CCAF, Frank has won several landmark appeals and tens of millions of dollars for

consumers and other plaintiffs. Adam Liptak of the New York Times calls Frank ¡°the leading critic

of abusive classaction settlements¡± and the American Lawyer Litigation Daily referred to him as ¡°the

indefatigable scourge of underwhelming class action settlements.¡±

At this event, ¡°Objection! Clean Diapers & Dirty Class-Action Settlements,¡± Frank will discuss why

class action settlements are so prone to abuse, the tactics attorneys use to enrich themselves at the

expense of the class, and why consumers are better off when class action abuse is curbed.

The event will also include an update on the New Jersey Civil Justice Institute¡¯s legislative efforts,

upcoming events, and expanding work in the courts from NJCJI president Marcus Rayner.

The cost of the event is being covered by NJCJI, but pre-registration is required to attend. Register

now by visiting or by calling 609-392-6557.

The New Jersey Civil Justice Institute (NJCJI) advocates for a civil justice system that treats all

parties fairly and discourages lawsuit abuse. NJCJI and its members believe that a fair civil justice

system resolves disputes expeditiously and impartially, based solely upon application of the law to

the facts of each case. Such a system fosters public trust and motivates professionals, sole

proprietors, and businesses to provide safe and reliable products and services while ensuring that

truly injured people are fully compensated for their losses. Please visit

or contact a member of the NJCJI team to learn more.
