A woman is suing Oprah Winfrey's studio, claiming she was injured in a rush for seats before a taping in Chicago. The Chicago Tribune's Web site reports Tayna Milner is seeking more than 50-thousand dollars in damages. Her lawsuit alleges Milner was pushed down the stairs between a waiting area and audience seating at Harpo Studios, causing her to fall and suffer unspecified injuries. Milner accuses the studio of failing to properly control the crowd. No comment yet from Milner's lawyer or Harpo Studios.

Class action or a representative action is a form of lawsuit in which a large group of people collectively bring a claim to court and/or in which a class of defendants is being sued. This form of collective lawsuit originated in the United States and is still predominantly a U.S. phenomenon, at least the U.S. variant of it. In the United States federal courts, class actions are governed by Federal Rules of Civil Procedure Rule. Since 1938, many states have adopted rules similar to the FRCP. However, some states like California have civil procedure systems which deviate significantly from the federal rules; the California Codes provide for four separate types of class actions. As a result, there are two separate treatises devoted solely to the complex topic of California class actions. Some states, such as Virginia, do not provide for any class actions, while others, such as New York, limit the types of claims that may be brought as class actions.
