| The Dallas-based technology law firm of Munck Carter, P.C., is strengthening its litigation section with the addition of attorneys James B. Hamilton and Laura A. Russell.
"We are excited to welcome James and Laura to the firm," says Jamil N. Alibhai, Chairman of the firm's Litigation Section.
"They bring outstanding real world experience and top notch legal skills, which will be great assets for our clients."
Mr. Hamilton will focus on commercial litigation and large-loss subrogation. In addition to the firm's primary focus on intellectual property litigation, Munck Carter has developed a national reputation for pursuing large subrogation cases where the firm helps insurers recover money from responsible parties when claims are paid.
Before earning his law degree from St. Mary's University School of Law, Mr. Hamilton worked for Fortune 500(TM) and Fortune 100(TM) companies in the transportation and logistics sectors.
A lieutenant in the U.S. Navy Reserve, he earned his undergraduate degree in Maritime Operations and Technology from the United States Merchant Marine Academy, and has served as a licensed cargo and navigation officer aboard supertankers and other vessels in domestic and international waters. |

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.
