Civil Justice

Group Letter Urging U.S. Senate and House Leadership to Oppose Any Laws or Practices that Place Limits on Civil Justice System

CFA and associated organizations believe strongly in the importance of the civil justice system and the right of every American to stand up for their rights in court. We oppose any laws or practices that place limits on access to this system, or on the ability of judges and juries to do their jobs. The right of trial by jury in civil cases was considered so indispensable to the founders of our country that they enshrined it in the U.S. Constitution’s Seventh Amendment. It is found in virtually every state constitution as well.
