ATRA is the only national organization exclusively dedicated to repairing our civil justice system. ATRA fights in Congress, in state legislatures, and in the courts to make the system fairer.

ATRA works to counter that influence by challenging this status quo and continually leading the fight for common-sense reforms in the states, the Congress, and the court of public opinion.

ATRA supports an aggressive civil justice reform agenda that includes:

• Health care liability reform
• Class action reform
• Promotion of jury service
• Abolition of the rule of joint and several liability
• Abolition of the collateral source rule
• Limits on punitive damages
• Limits on noneconomic damages
• Production liability reform
• Appeal bond reform
• Sound science in the courtroom
• Stopping regulation through litigation

Services

One of ATRA's greatest assets is its network of tort reform advocates (state coalitions) that advance ATRA's agenda in state capitals. Their work is bolstered by an "army" of more than 135,000 citizen supporters who have joined together in state and local grassroots groups. Together, the state coalitions and grassroots activists are an effective one-two punch in the fight for state tort reform.

ATRA identies and champions elected officials and judges who want to fix the system.

In the media, we serve as the national voice of the civil justice reform movement.
