U.S. Chamber takes to silver screen

Along with your popcorn and Raisinettes, you can now enjoy a large helping of lobbying for lawsuit reform.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s Institute for Legal Reform last week released four short films highlighting victims of what they call frivolous lawsuits, to be aired before movies in theaters nationwide.

“Lawsuits are turning the American dream into a litigation horror film,” said ILR President Lisa Rickard. “That’s why the silver screen is the perfect venue for the Faces of Lawsuit Abuse trailers. The only difference between the feature presentation and these short films is that the damage, the costs, the winners and losers that are featured aren’t fiction — they’re true stories.”

Take that, Erin Brockovich.
