“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.”

Outdated litigation procedures are bogging down the U.S. civil justice system and imposing burdensome costs on litigants. These 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 is the only organization specializing in procedural rules reform and successfully advocated for significant reforms to discovery that resulted in the creation of a proportionality and uniform sanction standard.
