Our Work
The U.S. Chamber’s Institute for Legal Reform and Litigation Center advocate for a fair and equal civil justice system to foster a healthy business climate, protect employers from abusive litigation, and serve the interests of consumers, not trial lawyers. We work at every level of the U.S. judicial system and with leaders in almost every state, Congress, and around the world to defend the rule of law.
