Judges Cast Skeptical Eyes on Southern Co. Race Suit

Until this week, one might have thought the 11th Circuit wasn't so interested in a high-profile race discrimination suit against Southern Co.; the court had already taken the rare step of denying two groups' requests to offer views in amicus briefs. But Tuesday a panel subjected the case to an examination nearly three times longer than the norm. At issue was whether a judge abused her discretion when deciding whether plaintiffs met requirements for a class action.
