Overview

A strategic lawsuit against public participation (SLAPP) is typically an attempt by one party to inhibit or silence another for political gain, rather than valid legal claims. While SLAPP suits are increasingly coming under fire by state legislatures, it is important to understand how the suits arise and how to defend your clients against them.


Learning Objectives:

  1. Understand the background of SLAPP suits and how they are used for political gain

  2. Identify what your state's rules and regulations are regarding SLAPP

  3. Discuss statutory language and federal government's creation of anti-SLAPP statute 

  4. Prepare a defense for your client who is facing a SLAPP suit
