| The top federal prosecutor in Philadelphia is joining the firm of Conrad O'Brien Gellman & Rohn. Patrick Meehan is to be a shareholder in the Philadelphia-based professional corporation starting Monday. He is to handle white-collar criminal defense, internal corporate investigations and corporate commercial litigation. Meehan's decision to join Conrad O'Brien was announced Wednesday, the day after his last day as U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. He had served in that job since 2001 and was the district attorney of Delaware County before that. There has been widespread speculation that Meehan will seek the Republican nomination for governor in 2010.

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.
