| United States Attorney Matt will join the Dallas branch of Sonnenschein Nath & Rosenthal as the managing partner in the rapidly growing firm. He'll also be the chair of the firm's government litigation and investigations group, which will be in the firm's offices worldwide. The group will deal with clients who have issues with governmental regulatory agencies. Orwig says he began looking for a job with a private firm prior to the controversy involving the Department of Justice and eight U.S. Attorneys who claim they were removed for political reasons. He says the move to a private firm is the best decision for his family. "I have two children in college with a third soon to join them," Orwig told KFDM News in a telephone conversation Friday afternoon. "A move to private practice was inevitable." Orwig officially took office as U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Texas on January 13, 2002. |

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.
