Publication Date: January 2009 View Publication
Publisher: Heritage Foundation (Washington, D.C.)
Author(s): Hans A. von Spakovsky; Andrew M. Grossman
Special Collection: Presidential Advisory
Keywords: Frivolous litigation; Civil law; Presidential transition
Type: Brief
Coverage: United States
Abstract:
We believe that continuing civil justice reform is essential to America's long-term prosperity and preserving our freedoms. It is particularly important during an economic downturn when frivolous litigation and attempts to regulate through litigation result in such high costs and liability that our economic recovery is diminished or even reversed.
