ILR’s “Faces of Lawsuit Abuse”
In 1998, The U.S. Chamber of Commerce founded a national organization called the Institute for Legal Reform (ILR). The ILR is the branch of the Chamber that spends hundreds of millions of dollars each year launching propaganda campaigns aimed at demonizing trial lawyers and the legal system. Among its favorite tactics is creating public awareness campaigns that highlight “frivolous” lawsuits in attempt to coerce the public into believing that most civil lawsuits are brought by people who are simply trying to take advantage of the system.The latest example of this is the ILR’s “Faces of Lawsuit Abuse” campaign.
