About LCJ

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. 

LCJ members, preeminent corporations, law firms, and defense bar organizations, collaborate to provide compelling reasons for judges, Congress, and rule makers to give serious consideration to meaningful reforms. 
 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.  No other organization promotes legal reform with the same niche focus and success as LCJ. ​
​
