In layman's terms it is a group of people that are suing a company or entity for wrongdoing. The first step is for someone to have been wronged in some way. This could come from any number of instances. Each class action must meet specific legal requirements in order to become "certified". Once certified, then the process begins and "members" can make their claims accordingly. You can find much more about class action lawsuits at http://www.sueeasy.com. They have a lot of basic class action information including terms and examples of class action notices.
The fastest way is to talk to a plaintiff class action lawyer. If its an existing class action lawsuit he or she should be able to direct you to the law firm handling the case. If its a new class action lawsuit most class action lawyers will investigate and provide advice at no cost. Good luck.=]
