Abstract

This Article begins with an examination of the fundamental principles of due process and shows how those principles have permeated our system of justice and, more particularly, the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. We then proceed to examine the text of Rule 23 from its original form to its most current iteration, using the idea of due process as our interpretive guide. Finally, we will examine several Supreme Court decisions interpreting Rule 23. Our goal here is to study those decisions from the perspective of due process.
