Draft the class definition from the claim theory

How AI is used
Propose class-definition wording from the claim theory and the data fields the lawyer supplies, and list which Rule 23(a) prerequisite each phrase is meant to serve.
What the lawyer must review
Rule 23(a) requires numerosity, common questions, typicality and adequacy before anyone may sue as a representative. An order certifying a class must define the class and the class claims, issues or defenses (Rule 23(c)(1)(B)). You decide whether each prerequisite is met and you write the definition that is filed. Rule 11 is your certification of the legal and factual contentions in the pleading. State class-action rules are not Rule 23.
