Class Certification Motion

Overview

CaseMark's Class Certification Motion skill transforms your case pleadings, discovery materials, and expert reports into a comprehensive, court-ready FRCP 23 motion. The AI constructs rigorous arguments for every certification factor—numerosity, commonality, typicality, adequacy, predominance, and superiority—grounded in your actual case record. The result is a structured, citation-rich motion ready for judicial scrutiny.

Drafting a class certification motion is one of the most labor-intensive tasks in complex litigation. Attorneys must synthesize voluminous discovery, depositions, and expert analyses into a cohesive brief that satisfies every Rule 23 factor while preempting defense attacks. The process typically consumes dozens of attorney hours and carries enormous stakes—certification often determines whether a case settles or proceeds.

CaseMark automates the heavy lifting of class certification motion drafting by analyzing your entire case file and structuring arguments for each Rule 23 requirement. The AI identifies the strongest evidence for numerosity, commonality, typicality, adequacy, predominance, and superiority, then drafts a complete motion with record citations, a precise class definition, and a proposed notice plan—giving attorneys a rigorous first draft in a fraction of the time.

How it works

  1. 1. Upload your pleadings, discovery materials, expert reports, and declarations

  2. 2. AI analyzes your case file to identify the uniform policy, class scope, and evidentiary support for each Rule 23 factor

  3. 3. Review and refine the generated motion with record-specific citations and arguments

  4. 4. Export the polished class certification motion in your preferred format (DOCX, PDF)

Questions

Does this handle both federal FRCP 23 and state class certification standards?

Yes. CaseMark drafts motions under FRCP 23 and adapts the analysis for state equivalents. The AI identifies the applicable standard based on your case materials and jurisdiction.

How does CaseMark build the Rule 23(a) arguments from my documents?

CaseMark extracts evidence from your discovery materials, depositions, and expert reports to construct specific arguments for numerosity, commonality, typicality, and adequacy. Each factor is supported with record citations drawn directly from your uploaded files.

Will the motion address anticipated defense objections?

Yes. CaseMark identifies common defense challenges to class certification—such as individualized issues, manageability concerns, and adequacy attacks—and drafts preemptive rebuttals grounded in your case record.

Can I customize the class definition the AI generates?

Absolutely. CaseMark proposes a class definition tied to your liability theory with objective criteria, temporal scope, and geographic boundaries. You can refine every element before finalizing the motion.

What types of cases does this work best for?

CaseMark's class certification motion skill works across consumer protection, employment, securities, antitrust, product liability, and other class action practice areas. The AI adapts its analysis to the substantive claims in your case.

Does the output include a proposed notice and administration plan?

Yes. CaseMark generates a proposed notice plan and case management approach as part of the motion, addressing how class members will be identified and notified, which courts increasingly expect at the certification stage.
