Associate Kerri Sakaue penned an analysis for the Daily Journal titled “What the Leeper decision does – and doesn’t – change about Balderas.” Published Jan. 31, 2025, the piece addresses the litigation trend of “headless” Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA) claims, which are on a representative, nonindividual basis, and points out that the Leeper v.
