AMERICAN TRIAL LAWYERS ASSOCIATION JOINS NATION IN MOURNING, CALLS FOR
MORATORIUM IN THIS TIME OF NATIONAL CRISIS
ON CIVIL LAWSUITS THAT MAY ARISE FROM TRAGEDY
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
America's trial lawyers join the nation in mourning the horrific loss
caused by coordinated terrorist acts against America. Our profound
condolences go out to the victims and to their families.
Today, we must enter a period of national unity that should set us on a
course of comfort, care, and respect for the privacy and anguish of the
families who have experienced this national tragedy in the most personal
of ways. It should also be a course of renewal and resolve, where
American ideals continue as our true guideposts and national security is
pursued with vigor and purpose.
We, as a nation, must speak at this hour with a single voice, a voice of
compassion for the victims and a voice of authority to those who would tear
down our society.
For this reason, for the first time in our history, the Association of
Trial Lawyers of America, in this time of national crisis, urges a
moratorium on civil lawsuits that might arise out of these awful events.
There are more urgent needs that must be served at this time. Let us
support our government so it can fully gather all the evidence needed
quickly to identify and prosecute the terrorists.
Let this instead be a time for healing, with our focus on bringing to
justice the terrorists who perpetrated this tragedy. ATLA is prepared to
work with Congress and the Administration to help assure unqualified
justice and prompt relief for the thousands of innocent victims and their
families.
Let us act as one in our support of the victims of Tuesday's tragedy, in
finding those responsible who committed these heinous acts, and in taking
the necessary steps to prevent its recurrence.
Leo V. Boyle
President of ATLA
