| Former Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack will be practicing law in a Des Moines law office in the near future. More details will be announced soon, but Des Moines lawyer Gordon Fischer, the former Iowa Democratic Party of Iowa chairman, said Wednesday afternoon that Vilsack will practice with the Dorsey & Whitney firm. Vilsack served for eight years as Iowa governor through January 2007. The Democrat didn't run for re-election last year, although he pursued the 2008 presidency for a few months, ultimately ending that bid a few weeks ago. Dorsey & Whitney is headquartered in Minneapolis, and has offices in other cities, including Des Moines, where Vilsack will work. He had a law practice in Mount Pleasant, Iowa, where Vilsack was mayor and a state senator before becoming governor.

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.
