Jan Norman
Orange County Register Reporter/Columnist
Jan Norman writes the popular It’s Your Business column for the Orange County Register. She frequently writes about the costs and consequences of frivolous lawsuits on businesses, their employees and ability to stay in business. Jan Norman provides the media attention necessary to educate the public, who in turn can persuade policy makers, to pass common sense civil justice reforms.
Carmen Trutanich
City of Los Angeles, City Attorney
Los Angeles City Attorney Carmen Trutanich leads one of the largest governmental legal offices in the nation and oversees both criminal and civil jurisdiction throughout Los Angeles. Since taking office, City Attorney Trutanich has taken a number of steps to reduce taxpayer costs of unwarranted lawsuits against the City by making it more costly for those who choose to sue it.
Curt Hagman
60th Assembly District
Assemblyman Curt Hagman is a member of the Judiciary Committee. His personal actions as a Good Samaritan rescuing a couple from a burning car, inspired him to co-sponsor SB 39, the Good Samaritan Protection Act, to overturn the controversial legal ruling from the California Supreme Court that stated a “Good Samaritan” could be sued for trying to help someone in need. Because of his effort, Good Samaritans are immune from liability.

California Champion Against Lawsuit Abuse Awards luncheon on Oct. 6………. Hmmmm
luncheon?….. Roasted Chameleonewski as an appetizer?
It’s great to see people recognized for their efforts to prevent lawsuit abuse. Such abuse is an everpresent problem in California, and we need individuals such as this who will stand against it. We need our representatives and community members to speak out and stand up against lawsuit at every level, all the way up to Congress. Even now, there is a bill in the Senate that would make it harder to dismiss frivolous lawsuits (S. 1504). Hopefully our representatives like Senator Feinstein will approach this bill with the same good sense and judgment as these individuals have displayed, and oppose this bill.
