Who We Are
Citizens Against Lawsuit Abuse (CALA) is a nonpartisan, grassroots organization dedicated to advancing civil justice reform in America. CALA advocates for commonsense legal reform by educating the public about the economic costs of excessive litigation that impacts all Americans – working families, small businesses, and consumers. Through this grassroots movement, CALA supports legislative efforts to address those costs.
What We Believe
CALA's position is that the civil justice system functions best when it is accessible, fair, and resistant to manipulation. Economic research shows that excessive litigation increases consumer costs, limits access to affordable healthcare, and constrains job creation and business investment. CALA supports legal reforms designed to reduce frivolous lawsuits and restore procedural balance to the courts.
How CALA Works to Improve America’s Civil Justice System
CALA advances civil justice reform through a nationwide network of grassroots advocates – citizens like you who have either personally experienced lawsuit abuse or are frustrated by how it drives up the cost of everyday goods and services, undermines our civil justice system, and erodes public trust in the courts. We work with advocates to amplify their voices, connect them directly with lawmakers, and support legislation aimed at reducing frivolous litigation.
CALA serves as the bridge between everyday citizens and policymakers who can drive reform. Public participation is central to CALA's legislative strategy at both the state and federal levels. The path to ending lawsuit abuse starts with you!
