The Center for Justice & Democracy’s Illinois office opened in early 2005 to raise public awareness about and preserve access to Illinois’ civil justice system. Working in close coordination with CJ&D’s national office, CJ&D Illinois engages in activities such as the local release of research and reports, media work, coalition building, and changing the nature of the public debate over “tort reform.



The Center for Justice & Democracy is a tax-exempt non-profit, non-partisan public interest organization that works to educate the public about the importance of the civil justice system and the dangers of so-called "tort reforms."



CJ&D fights to protect the right to trial by jury and an independent judiciary for all Americans.



The Center for Justice & Democracy is the only national consumer organization in the country working round-the-clock to fight this movement, engaging in battles around the country to protect our civil justice system. We are working full-time to expose unscrupulous attacks by special interests on judges, juries, injured consumers and the attorneys who represent them. We are dedicated to raising public awareness of the value of our civil justice system and the dangerous campaign behind the so-called "tort reform" movement.
