- Talk before you fight. Don't "sue thy neighbor." Try
mediation or arbitration to resolve disputes. Conflicts are inevitable in our society, but
lawsuits should be the last resort.
- Encourage personal responsibility in our community. Too often
people look for an outside culprit to blame when something bad happens to them, even if
they are personally negligent.
- Support efforts to reform our legal system. Find out where your
elected representatives stand.
- Join Silicon Valley Citizens Against Lawsuit Abuse (SVCALA) and
help educate your community. If everyone understands that "we all pay, we all
lose," then together we can stop lawsuit abuse.
