On Thin Ice: National Security Ramifications of Third Party Litigation Funding
Show Notes

On November 2, ILR hosted Summit 2022: Law · Policy · Politics, where we brought together extraordinary panelists to talk about critical issues facing the legal reform community.

This episode of Cause for Action is part of a special series of podcast episodes highlighting these panels. In this episode, you’ll learn how the lack of disclosure of third party litigation funding provides a path for foreign adversaries to invest in U.S. litigation against American industries, potentially undermining U.S. national economic and security interests.

 The episode features a discussion between Jamil N. Jaffer, Assistant Professor of Law and Founder and Executive Director of the National Security Institute at George Mason University’s Antonin Scalia Law School, and Michael Leiter, Partner, Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP.
