WLF litigators advocate to restore balance to the nation’s civil justice system and to protect the rights and interests of consumers. Not only has tort law become unmoored from its central aim of making injured parties whole, but filing lawsuits has become a business unto itself, as well as an unaccountable regulatory tool. Judicial creation of new private rights of action and a refusal to evenhandedly apply procedural and evidentiary rules have helped fuel this revolution in civil justice. But WLF demands that plaintiffs’ lawyers are held to the exacting standards that govern civil litigation, class actions, expert evidence, punitive damages, and personal jurisdiction. When the plaintiffs’ bar sues to dismantle judicial precedents and laws that curtail abusive litigation, WLF weighs in with its unique public-interest voice.
