WHO WE ARE :: TAKE CHARGE :: WHY CARE? :: CALL TO ACTION :: OUT OF CONTROL :: EXAMPLES :: ISSUES :: SUPPORTERS :: CHAIR'S MESSAGE

When called, don't make excuses--serve on a jury.

Talk before you fight, don't "sue thy neighbor." Try mediation or arbitration to resolve disputes. Conflicts are inevitable in our society, but lawsuits should be the last resort.

Encourage personal responsibility in our community. Too often people look for an outside culprit to blame when something bad happens to them, even if they are personally negligent.

Report barratry or "ambulance chasing"--the illegal solicitation of clients by attorneys. It's a crime.

Support efforts to reform our legal system. Find out where your elected representatives stand.

Join Citizens Against Lawsuit Abuse (CALA) and help educate your community. If everyone understand that, "we all pay, we all lose," then together we can stop lawsuit abuse.

Background
Citizens Against Lawsuit Abuse (CALA) was formed in the fall of 1993 as a California corporation to combat the current bureaucracy that perpetuates the state's costly avalanche of lawsuits. This grassroots organization was formed in response to a civil justice system that encourages both people to sue and lawyers to take advantage of victims. Our leadership is a group of small business and professional people from the greater Orange County area who are all united in our passion for meaningful reform of an out-of-control civil litigation system. We believe that tort reform has not been adequately addressed by our lawmakers because of the influence of special interest groups on the legislative process. We feel the public must become engaged in the debate over legal reform before California can solve it's lawsuit crisis.

Mission Statement
CALA's mission is to educate the public about the impact of lawsuit abuse on consumers and California's economy, thereby creating a climate for change.
