Equal access to the courts is essential to a fair and functioning justice system.
When legitimate claims are heard and decided on their merits, the rule of law is strengthened and the economy works better for everyone.
Yet powerful interests are increasingly working to change the rules — making it harder for individuals and small businesses to pursue lawful claims and participate meaningfully in the justice system.
The American Civil Accountability Alliance works to preserve an open, fair, and accessible civil justice system by protecting the right to bring lawful claims and ensuring that justice in the courts is determined by facts and law — not by wealth or power.
