There we have it.  Brinker is set for argument on Tuesday, November 8, 2011, at 9:00 a.m., in San Francisco.  I have to wonder if this will amount to less of a bombshell now that the class action practitioners of the world are intensely focused on how Concepcion will impact wage & hour class actions generally.  But we've waited so long for answers to the many questions raised by Brinker that we deserve an answer.  Thank goodness I don't have to make a Brinker-Watch 2012 graphic.
