The Association

The Civil Justice Association of California works to reduce the excessive and unwarranted litigation that increases business and government expenses, discourages innovation, and drives up the cost of goods and services for all Californians.

We are a non-profit, membership-supported coalition of citizens, taxpayers, businesses, local governments, professionals, manufacturers, financial institutions, insurers, and medical organizations.

Founded in 1979, CJAC is the only statewide association working in both the Legislature and the courts to improve California's civil justice system.
