Summary: "This study presents descriptive statistics of the most comprehensive database of settlements of securities class actions categorized by several aspects of the case or the plaintiff law firm involved in the lawsuit. It also compares certain settlement statistics prior to and subsequent to the passage of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (PSLRA) through December 31, 1999. It reports settlements as both the cash value of the settlement and relative to two different measures of plaintiff style damage estimates."
