Class Advocate is a repository of thousands of pending class action lawsuits and investigations designed to help people better understand their rights.  The URL is www.classadvocate.com.  "Class action" is defined broadly to mean a common set of facts capable of harming many.   This includes consumer class actions, product liability cases, employment matters, defective drug cases, environmental contamination, government misconduct and security litigation.  

When people are upset over how corporations have treated them, people today turn to the web to investigate and try to understand when their rights have been violated.  Maybe a consumer is frustrated with the performance of her car or upset about the early termination fee she must pay when canceling a cell phone plan.   Often times search results from google and other search engines provide no answer.

www.classadvocate.com is a web service designed to cut through this clutter.   Class Advocate aggregates pending class action investigations and lawsuits into one searchable database.  One nice feature of Class Advocate is that the service does not pigeon hole you.  You do not need to know the answer before you ask the question.  You can freely search multiple categories or try several text searches.   Perhaps the best way to demonstrate the usefulness of Class Advocate is to give you three examples:
