Authorities say a lawyer was injured when gunshots were fired through the window of his downtown Leesburg office.
Lt. Jeff Dube, a Leesburg police spokesman, says Todd Sanders was in his office in the 200 block of South King Street when the shots were fired Monday night. He says Sanders was treated at a hospital and released.
Dube says after the shooting, Sanders went outside and flagged down a ride to a hospital from a motorist. He says Sanders works for the Sanders & Kissler law firm. According to the firm's Web site, Sanders practices criminal and civil litigation and is an adjunct professor at the George Washington University Law School. |

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.
