The soaring cost of litigation has become a heavy burden. Litigation costs create a barrier to entry into our courts, forcing litigants to opt out of the U.S. courts in favor of other forms of dispute resolution or, unfortunately, to settle cases without regard to the merits of the claims.

By uniting the business, legal, and defense bar communities in propelling reasonable reform initiatives, LCJ provides our members with an amplified voice in civil justice reform.
