“this is an important debate. The average person listening to it may wonder why. First you have to understand what a class action lawsuit is. I will try to define it in the simplest of terms. It is when not just one person but a group of people believe that they have been wronged, either financially or otherwise, and go to court and bring a lawsuit against a corporation, for example. So you have a large group of plaintiffs bringing the lawsuit, usually suing one defendant, a corporation. And oftentimes, this large group of people who have been harmed don't live in the same State. They may be from across the Nation. And so they have to decide where they are going to file the lawsuit. And that is what this comes down to. You say to yourself: Why is it so important to understand where you are going to file a lawsuit? Well, when I explain it from my point of view, perhaps you will understand why so much time and so much lobbying is going on behind this whole question about where you can file your lawsuit.”
