When Courts Abandon The Rule of Law, with Lauren Sheets Jarrell

from The Atlas Society Presents - Objectively Speaking · host The Atlas Society

What is tort law actually for and when does it stop protecting individual rights and start undermining them? Join Atlas Society CEO Jennifer Grossman for the 305th episode of Objectively Speaking as she sits down with the lead author of the American Tort Reform Foundation's annual Judicial Hellholes report, Lauren Sheets Jarrell, as part of our mini-series on tort reform to discuss the relationship between civil litigation, accountability, and the proper role of law in a free society. In addition to authoring the flagship report that identifies the jurisdictions where civil courts most fail to deliver balanced justice, Jarrell directs ATRA's amicus program, advancing sound legal principles in state and federal courts across the country. Her work focuses on lawsuit abuse, no-injury class actions, and the structural reforms needed to restore the courtroom to its proper purpose: protecting individual rights and holding genuine wrongdoers to account.
