This brief addresses the first question presented in Tyson Foods, Inc. v. Bouaphakeo, No. 14-1146, which concerns the use of statistical techniques in class actions. The brief informs the Supreme Court of the appropriate uses of statistics and other inferential proof in class actions. It also shows that statistical techniques can be used by courts while allowing a defendant to assert individual defenses. Courts can do so by utilizing bifurcation or similar trial practices.

An article by Judith Resnik offers an extensive Comment on three recent notable cases: Wal-Mart v. Dukes, AT&T v. Concepcion, and Turner v. Rogers. In addition, the first issue of each new volume provides an extensive summary of the important cases of the previous Supreme Court docket, on a wide range of legal, political and constitutional subjects. This issue surveys, in a series of case notes, the 2010 Term. Finally, the issue includes statistical summaries and tables of the 2010 Term, and recent book notes.
