Class Action Exceptions

Basic idea: properly certified class actions may continue, even if the name π's claims were rendered moot.

Policy: class actions are different than regular lawsuits: they're representative of more than one party.
As long as members of the class still have live cases, then the suit may continue.
Ex 1: In U.S. Parole Commission, the Court found that—even if, with no change, the plaintiff's action will reoccur, you can still avoid mootness with an attempted class certification before the end of the suit.
