  • Impact Fund Grants for Justice

    Grants The Impact Fund makes recoverable grants to lawyers, small law firms, and nonprofit organizations involved in impact litigation. We fund civil rights, human rights, anti-poverty, and environmental justice cases. Most of our grants are for class actions, but we also fund multi-plaintiff and environmental justice cases that aim to significantly affect a larger system or lead to significant law reform. In the 2023/24 fiscal year, the Impact Fund disbursed a total of $690,150 in grant funding via 27 recoverable grants. The Impact Fund has committed around $9.7 million to justice-related causes since the organizations inception.

  • Advocacy for Justice Issues

    Advocacy We advocate for economic, racial, and social justice as both lead and co-counsel in a small number of complex impact litigation cases. We also author several amicus briefs in important class action cases each year and participate in notice and comment rulemaking for administrative rules and regulations on relevant issues. We also engage in a limited amount of advocacy on these issues.

  • Class Action Training Programs

    Education and Training In September, we presented our three-day Class Action Training Institute, taking 40 students through all the phases of a mock class action. In February, we presented our annual Class Action Conference, which attracted 341 practitioners from around the nation, sharing current news, developments, and best practices for class action litigation. We also presented multiple training courses, seminars, and workshops on class action strategy, current issues, and practical skills for class action practitioners and legal services organizations.
