Legislation

WCJC’s preferred approach is to develop and advance civil justice reforms by working with the business community, elected officials, and others who share our goals. Often, however, it is also necessary to fight an aggressive anti-business agenda advanced by the plaintiffs’ bar that would weaken the state’s ability to attract and retain businesses. WCJC has been successful at both promoting positive legislation and defeating harmful legislation.
