## Key facts

| Fact | Value |

| Practice area | [Class Actions / Representative Proceedings](https://ailawframework.com/practice/class-actions-representative-proceedings.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | From the file, list each of these events that has happened and whether a notice to class members is on the file for it: an order certifying a Rule 23(b)(3) class, an order certifying a (b)(1) or (b)(2) class, a proposal to settle or dismiss claims of a certified class or of a class proposed to be certified for settlement, and a motion by class counsel for attorney's fees. Record the date of the event and the date of any notice. Do not draft a notice. |
| What the lawyer must review | You decide whether a notice is required and you settle it. For a (b)(3) class the court must direct the notice in Rule 23(c)(2)(B). For a (b)(1) or (b)(2) class the court may direct appropriate notice. The claims of a certified class, or of a class proposed to be certified for settlement, may be settled, voluntarily dismissed, or compromised only with the court's approval, and the court must direct notice of the proposal in a reasonable manner if giving notice is justified. In a certified class action, notice of a fee motion by class counsel must be directed to class members in a reasonable manner. Rule 23(d) also lets the court order notice of any step in the action, of the proposed extent of the judgment, or of the members' opportunity to signify whether they consider the representation fair and adequate. Formal Opinion 512 requires you to review a generated notice before it is used. |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: From the file, list each of these events that has happened and whether a notice to class members is on the file for it: an order certifying a Rule 23(b)(3) class, an order certifying a (b)(1) or (b)(2) class, a proposal to settle or dismiss claims of a certified class or of a class proposed to be certified for settlement, and a motion by class counsel for attorney's fees. Record the date of the event and the date of any notice. Do not draft a notice.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- Some of these notices the court must direct. Others the court may direct. The tool only records whether a notice is on the file.
- Settlement notice depends on the court's decision that giving notice is justified under Rule 23(e)(1).
- A state class action follows that state's notice provisions.
