The CAFA Law Blog is your one stop shop for all things CAFA. We listed every law review article known to mankind concerning CAFA. They are listed in reverse chronological order (which if you are from one of those law schools that faked its employment statistics means that the most recent articles are listed first). They are also separated by year of publication. As time goes on, we will update this list for you.
We have hyperlinked those that you can access for free. Otherwise, you will need to go to Westlaw or Lexis and pay them for access. If you are the author of one of these articles and would like us to hyperlink it, please send an email to us.
If you have published a law review article and it is not listed, It means either that your law review article is not found using basic search criteria or we just missed it. If the reason it is not listed below is because of our fault, then we are sorry. Sh*t happens. Send us an email, and we will list the article for you.
