Civil Justice Fairness Act

Okay kiddo, have you ever played a game and had a problem with it that needed to be fixed? Well, sometimes people have problems with things that are bigger than games, like legal problems. The Civil Justice Fairness Act is a rule that was made to help people with legal problems, so they can get help in a fair and equal way.

It’s like when you and your brother or sister are fighting over a toy and your mom or dad steps in to help solve the problem. The Civil Justice Fairness Act is like a parent that steps in to make sure everybody gets treated fairly when they have problems with things like lawsuits or going to court.

Before the Civil Justice Fairness Act, some people didn’t get treated as fairly as others when they had legal problems. This was because some people were richer or had more power than others, and they could pay for better lawyers or influence the law more easily.

The Civil Justice Fairness Act makes sure that everyone gets the same chance to be heard in court and have their legal problems solved fairly, no matter how much money or power they have. It’s like making sure everybody gets the same amount of cake, even if one person has more money to buy cake than the other.

So, in summary, the Civil Justice Fairness Act is a rule that helps make sure everybody gets treated equally and fairly when they have legal problems to solve.
