Reconstructing Justice: How to Work Toward a Civil Justice System That is Just, Speedy and Inexpensive

Back to Annual Meeting Home

The Institute for the Advancement of the American Legal System (IAALS) is a national, non-partisan organization dedicated to improving the process and culture of the civil justice system. It provides principled leadership, conduct comprehensive and objective research and develop innovative and practical solutions—all focused on serving the individuals and organizations who rely on the system to clarify rights and resolve disputes. The civil justice system in the United States often does not meet the legitimate needs of the American people. The system has become captive to expense, delay and gamesmanship, resulting in growing public dissatisfaction and distrust. Our system must refocus on the needs of those it serves, and that is the Institute’s mission.
