Cy pres awards are unclaimed funds from class action settlements or judgments. These funds can be awarded to a nonprofit organization that engages in work that advances public interest. The court makes the final determination of where a cy pres award should be directed, but plaintiff and defense attorneys have an opportunity to influence that decision by recommending Keck Medicine of USC as a beneficiary.
