Law review articles of interest on class actions and CAFA

Thanks to the blog Federal Civil Practice Bulletin, I recently learned of two newly-published law review articles relating to class actions, both of which sound quite interesting:

• Martin H. Redish and Andrianna D. Kastanek, "Settlement Class Actions, The Case-or-Controversy Requirement, and the Nature of the Adjudicatory Process," 73 U. Chi. L. Rev. 545 (2006).
• Adam N. Steinman, "Sausage-Making, Pigs' Ears, and Congressional Expansions of Federal Jurisdiction: Exxon Mobil v. Allapattah and its Lessons for the Class Action Fairness Act," 81 Wash. L. Rev. 279 (2006) (downloadable from SSRN).

The second article, about the interplay between Allapattah and CAFA, is particularly intriguing. I'm very glad that Professor Spencer takes the time to find these articles and that he posts about them on his blog.
