<p className="text-lg leading-relaxed">
<span className="font-semibold">Cy pres</span> (pronounced "see-pray") is a legal doctrine meaning "as near as possible."
In class action settlements, when it's not feasible to distribute all settlement funds directly to class members—due to
unclaimed funds, unidentified class members, or de minimis individual amounts—courts may approve cy pres distributions
to nonprofit organizations.

<h3 className="font-semibold text-xl mb-3 text-blue-900">How Cy Pres Works:</h3>
<ul className="space-y-2 list-disc list-inside">
<li>Settlement funds that cannot be distributed to class members are identified</li>
<li>Courts approve distribution to nonprofits whose work indirectly benefits the class</li>
<li>Selected organizations must have a substantial nexus to the class interests</li>
<li>Funds support causes aligned with the nature of the lawsuit</li>
</ul>
