Business Litigation:

• The Chamber Litigation Machine: How the Chamber Uses Lawsuits to Keep Americans Out of Court [PDF]   
  For years, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce has led the charge to undermine and destroy America’s civil justice system. The Chamber has spent hundreds of millions of dollars financing efforts to close the courthouse doors to American consumers through massive lobbying campaigns, advertising and bankrolling anti-consumer political candidates. It has its own multimillion dollar affiliate, the Institute for Legal Reform (ILR), whose sole mission is to restrict the ability of individuals harmed by negligent corporations to file suit.
  
  Yet ironically, the Chamber is also one of the most aggressive litigators in Washington, D.C., appearing in hundreds of lawsuits a year. The Chamber has its own litigation arm, the National Chamber Litigation Center (NCLC), which both files its own lawsuits and enters into the lawsuits of others more than 130 times a year.
  
  The Chamber spends an unrivaled amount of money lobbying to restrict access to the courts for ordinary Americans, then files copious lawsuits and briefs in defense of the likes of AIG, Wal-Mart, Firestone and a slew of pharmaceutical and insurance companies.
  
  In almost every case, the Chamber’s litigation on behalf of corporations has come at the expense of Americans’ health or financial security.
