We believe that an efficient civil justice system is necessary to protect individual rights, to maintain a stable business environment, and to promote social order.

ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION: We support continued efforts to develop appropriate alternative methods of dispute resolution. We oppose any measures that deprive individuals and businesses of full and equal access to the civil justice system.

RIGHT TO JURY: We believe that the right to a trial by jury in criminal and civil matters is essential to justice and fundamental to democracy. We oppose arbitrary caps on jury awards for the victims of negligence.
