Keynotes Celebrate America 2005 |

Atlanta, GA June 21,
2005
Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour (below), the keynote speaker at
Southeastern Legal Foundation’s annual event Celebrate America®
2005, shared his insights about state-level civil
justice reform with the 500+ people attending this banquet.
 "The way to succeed
in the tort reform battle in the face of tremendous opposition
by the trial lawyers is to focus the message in a way that makes
sense to the grassroots: it’s about job creation and quality
medical care. Period,” said Barbour.
On the heels of
tremendous success reforming his state’s civil justice system,
Barbour told the gathering of corporate leaders and advocacy
organizations that “the grassroots level is where civil justice
reform will happen – not just in Atlanta, Jackson, Columbia, or
even Washington, DC."

Founded in 1976,
Southeastern Legal Foundation is celebrating its 29th year
as an Atlanta-based public interest law firm which advocates
limited government, individual economic freedom, and the free
enterprise system in the courts of law and public opinion. Our
mission is to engage in litigation and public policy advocacy in
support of these principles.
We look for cases and
issues in which our involvement makes a difference, not just to
the parties involved, but also on the policies and issues in
dispute. We believe that the U.S. Constitution is a complete
document, creating limits on government. When government --
federal, state and local -- goes beyond the constitutional
limits, we are there to enforce constitutional limitations. We
are not a single-issue organization rather, we are a
conservative public interest law firm dedicated to creating
binding legal precedent and positive public policy change for
all Americans. |
