Welcome to the latest episode of "Leave Us Alone"!

We are honored to have Tiger Joyce, President of the American Tort Reform Association, join us. Sherman Joyce brings a wealth of experience from his career, having served as a Legislative Assistant to U.S. Senator John C. Danforth, minority counsel to the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, and his current role since August 1994. With degrees from Princeton University and Catholic University Law School, Mr. Joyce is a leading voice in the field of tort reform.

In this episode, we dive deep into the complexities of the American legal system and explore the following critical issues with Sherman Joyce:

1. The Rise of Third-Party Litigation Funding (TPLF): Discover how third-party litigation funding has surged in the past decade and how trial lawyers have weaponized it as part of their "trial lawyer playbook."
2. Economic Impact of Mass Tort Litigation: The economic costs of mass tort litigation are staggering. Trial lawyers exploit the system unchecked, leading to significant financial burdens on American businesses and consumers.
3. Recent TPLF Cases: Examine recent examples of TPLF influencing court decisions. Foreign wealth funds are reportedly exploiting opportunities to manipulate the U.S. court system.
4. Proposed Reforms: Explore the proposed reforms aimed at curbing the excesses of TPLF. 5. Access to Justice vs. Abuse: Opponents argue that TPLF provides necessary access to justice for those who cannot afford it otherwise. How does this argument hold up against the evidence of widespread abuse and manipulation?

President Biden’s nominee for Secretary of Labor, Julie Su, testified before the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee yesterday. Su has a track record of implementing radical labor policies targeting independent contractors and the franchising sector alike. As the head of California’s labor department, she oversaw the squandering of over $30 billion in taxpayer dollars to unemployment fraud.
