PLAINTIFFS AND PLAINTIFF REPRESENTATIONEDL complaints may involve a single individual, multiple individuals, or a class action. Furthermore, plaintiffs may file acomplaint pro se while some seek representation from a Public Interest Law Firm (PILF). Despite these options, the data stronglysuggest that EDL complaints almost exclusively involve a single complainant/plaintiff acting alone. As Figure 2.13 illustrates,over 93 percent of all sampled cases are brought by a sole individual. Only about six percent of cases include between two andten plaintiffs, and a scant .05 percent of all cases have more than ten plaintiffs. A sizeable proportion (23 percent) of cases arefiled pro se (Figure 2.14), whereas PILFs represent plaintiffs in under one percent of cases (Figure 2.15). Finally, class actions areextremely rare. In about 97% of cases, plaintiffs do not seek class action certification, and overall, a class action is certified in justone percent of all EDL cases (Figure 2.16).figure 2.13 :percent of casesby number of plaintiffs(n=1788)-12-
