Re Unclaimed class action funds (per settlement agreements & court practice): often pro rata to claimants (2nd checks), revert to defendant, escheat to state unclaimed property, or cy pres to nonprofits/charities approximating class interests (most common for residuals). Cy pres recipients include legal advocacy groups (e.g., consumer rights orgs) that file similar suits, so yes, some indirectly fund more litigation.
Plaintiffs' bar (AAJ/trial lawyers): major Democratic donor bloc—AAJ gave 95% to Dems ($2.4M in '23-24 cycle per OpenSecrets/FEC); sector overall 65-70%+ Dem historically. They lobby millions annually ($4.9M AAJ in '24) on civil justice/tort issues favoring expansive suits.
