LCJ MISSION STATEMENT
 
 
 
 
                                              Lawyers for Civil Justice (LCJ) is a national coalition of defense trial lawyer organizations and
                                              corporations that seeks to restore and maintain balance in the civil justice system for the benefit
                                              of the public. The purpose of LCJ is to accomplish civil justice reform by:
 
                                              • Forming coalitions among defense trial lawyer associations and corporate interest
                                              • Participating in the legislative process in a way that persuasively presents the defense perspective
                                              • Anticipating, tracking and addressing proposals that affect the civil justice system.
 
 
              Created by defense trial lawyers and corporate counsel, Lawyers for Civil Justice (LCJ) is a national coalition supporting excellence, fairness and improvements within the civil justice system.  It supports activities designed to achieve reform at state and federal levels and to ensure balance in the civil justice system. Bringing greater predictability to damage awards, streamlining the discovery process, and improving the management of both litigation and scarce judicial resources are some of LCJ's long-term goals.
              LCJ plays a unique role in the civil justice reform movement by coalescing the resources of the defense trial lawyers with the support of a significant segment of the business community.  LCJ has members throughout the United States, works closely with over 60 state defense trial lawyer associations and is supported by three national defense trial lawyer associations. These three national associations are DRI - The Voice of the Defense Bar, the Federation of Defense & Corporate Counsel, and the International Association of Defense Counsel. Defense trial lawyers from these associations are directly involved in the defense of clients in the courtroom are are thus able to provide LCJ with bases to address weaknesses in the civil justice system.
             LCJ provides defense trial lawyers with a more united voice to educate the public on the need for civil justice reform.  A more complete description of the organization is available in LCJ's Membership Brochure.
