Impact Litigation

Impact litigation refers to legal cases strategically pursued to bring about broad social or policy changes, rather than solely resolving individual disputes. It aims to address systemic issues, influence laws, or improve public policies by setting legal precedents. This type of litigation often involves representing groups or communities affected by unfair practices, with the goal of creating lasting, positive societal change. Essentially, impact litigation uses the legal system as a tool for social progress, leveraging court decisions to effect change beyond the immediate parties involved.
