For attorneys

Attorneys: Help us fight lawsuit abuse and build a better legal system.

We love ethical attorneys. Smart, funny, beautiful people. Excellent taste in causes.

And we especially appreciate the ones willing to tell us, "That's a great idea — but please let me review it before you put it on the internet."

The National Center for Legal Integrity is looking for attorneys who believe that truth, fairness, and personal responsibility deserve a stronger voice in our legal system.

SOUND FAMILIAR?

If you've ever looked at an abusive claim, an unnecessary legal battle, or a rule that rewards the wrong behavior and thought,

"Someone needs to do something about this"

we would like to meet you.

From the beginning

Help shape NCLI from the beginning.

We're building a national effort to expose documented lawsuit abuse, support business owners, and advocate for meaningful reform. Experienced, ethical attorneys are essential to making that work credible and effective.

We need people who can

Challenge our assumptions.

Strengthen our proposals.

Recognize legitimate claims.

Help us distinguish troubling allegations from evidence that actually supports a conclusion.

Your judgment could influence everything from how we handle a member's submission to how we draft proposed legislation.

Where you can help

Where your experience could make a difference.

As NCLI grows, we envision opportunities to contribute in several areas.

1

A national attorney advisory group

Our goal is to recruit one or two attorneys from each state to help us understand local requirements, monitor legal developments, and guide our work.

Think of it as helping an ambitious organization keep its enthusiasm within the applicable statutes.

2

The NCLI database

Help design responsible submission procedures, confidentiality protections, evidence standards, and publication policies. Review potential patterns and help determine what the records establish — and what requires more investigation.

3

Legislation and tort reform

Research existing laws, evaluate reform proposals, draft model legislation, and help explain the likely benefits and unintended consequences. Our developing ideas include fairer settlement incentives, transparent medical pricing, and stronger responses to fraudulent or abusive claims.

4

Member submission review

Help develop a process for reviewing business owners' experiences and documents, identifying issues that warrant attention, and recommending appropriate next steps. Individual legal guidance would be handled through properly established attorney-client arrangements.

5

Research, writing, and public education

Contribute articles, review reports, explain legal developments, and create practical resources that business owners can understand and use.

6

Accountability and organizational guidance

Help establish fair standards for our proposed Accountability Index, evaluate our campaigns, and advise NCLI as we develop new initiatives.

We would especially welcome attorneys who have

Worked on tort reform, public policy, or legislative drafting.

Handled abusive litigation, insurance disputes, business defense, or fraud investigations.

Written or spoken about problems in the legal system and practical ways to address them.

Experience with privacy, legal ethics, nonprofit or business governance, or sensitive information.

Helped turn complicated legal issues into clear, useful guidance.

If you care about this mission but your résumé doesn't fit neatly into those categories, please introduce yourself anyway.

Retired attorneys

Your experience still has work to do.

You may have retired from your practice. Your judgment, perspective, and ability to spot a terrible argument remain valuable.

We welcome retired attorneys interested in policy, research, writing, mentoring, and advisory work. Roles will be matched to each person's experience, licensing status, and applicable professional requirements.

You've spent years learning how the system works. Help us put that knowledge to good use.

Now

Volunteer advisory and other unpaid professional contributions

We're currently seeking interest, with each engagement structured to meet applicable requirements.

As funding allows

Paid part-time, consulting, and staff positions

As NCLI grows and receives financial support, we hope to establish paid roles as soon as funding allows.
