Societal Torts

The Academy is dedicated to advocating for laws and policies in societal tort law to protect consumers and ensure public safety. 

Legislative Advocacy for Societal Tort Laws

• Lobbying for Comprehensive Tort Reforms: The Academy employs professional lobbyists to advocate for comprehensive tort reforms that address societal harms. This includes pushing for laws that hold corporations and individuals accountable for actions that cause widespread harm to the public.
• Supporting Consumer Protection Laws: The Academy supports legislation that enhances consumer protection by ensuring that victims of tortious conduct can seek fair compensation. This includes advocating for laws that prevent corporations from evading liability through legal loopholes.

By focusing on these advocacy efforts, the New York State Academy of Trial Lawyers plays a crucial role in promoting laws and policies that ensure public safety and protect consumers from harmful practices.
