| FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 1, ORGANIZATION'S MISSION: | THE AMERICAN TORT REFORM ASSOCIATION (ATRA) IS THE NATION'S FIRST ORGANIZATION EXCLUSIVELY DEDICATED TO REPAIRING OUR CIVIL JUSTICE SYSTEM. ATRA FIGHTS IN CONGRESS, IN STATE LEGISLATURES, AND IN THE COURTS TO CREATE A FAIRER CIVIL JUSTICE SYSTEM FOR ALL. WE IDENTIFY AND CHAMPION ELECTED OFFICIALS AND JUDGES WHO WANT TO FIX THE SYSTEM. OUR MISSION IS TO SEE REAL JUSTICE IN OUR COURTS. IN THE MEDIA, WE SERVIE AS THE NATIONAL VOICE OF THE CIVIL JUSTICE REFORM MOVEMENT. TODAY, AMEICA'S $429 BILLION TORT SYSTEM IS THE MOST EXPENSIVE IN THE INDUSTRIALIZED WORLD. AGGRESSIVE PERSONAL INJURY LAWYERS TARGET CERTAIN PROFESSIONS, INDUSTRIES AND INDIVIDUAL COMPANIES AS PROFIT CENTERS. THEY SYSTEMATICALLY RECRUIT CLIENTS WHO MAY NEVER HAVE SUFFERED A REAL ILLNES OR INJURY AND USE SCARE TACTICS, COMBINED WITH THE PROMISE OF AWARDS, TO BRING THESE PEOPLE INTO MASSIVE CLASS-ACTION LAWSUITS. THEY EFFECTIVELY TAP THE MEDIA TO RALLY SENTIMENT FOR MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR PUNITIVE DAMAGE AWARDS. THIS LEADS MANY COMPANIES TO SETTLE QUESTIONABLE LAWSUITS JUST TO STAY OUT OF COURT. THESE LAWSUITS ARE BAD FOR BUSINESS; THEY ARE ALSO BAD FOR SOCIETY. THEY COMPROMISE ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE, PUNISH CONSUMERS BY RAISING THE COST OF GOODS AND SERVICES, CHILL INNOVATION, AND UNDERMINE THE NOTION OF PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY. THE PERSONAL INJURY LAWYERS WHO BNEFIT FROM THE STATUS QUO USE THEIR FEES TO PERPETUATE THE CYCLE OF LAWSUIT ABUSE. THEY HAVE INVESTED MILLIONS OF DOLLARS INTO THE POLITICAL PROCEESS AND IN MORE LITITGATION THAT ACTS AS A DRAG ON OUR ECONOMY. SOME HAVE COMPARED THE POLITICAL AND JUDICIAL INFLUENCE OF THE PERSONAL INJURY BAR TO A FOURTH BRANCH OF GOVERNMENT. ATRA WORKS TO COUNTER THAT INFLUENCE BY CHALLENGING THIS STATUS QUO AND CONTINUALLY LEADING THE FIGHT FOR COMMONSENSE REFORMS IN THE STATES, CONGRESS AND THE COURT OF PUBLIC OPINION. |
