About Us

By joining MnFLR you are investing in the critical fight to enact common sense reforms to prevent abusive, excessive and unwarranted litigation before it takes root in Minnesota courtrooms. Year after year, MnFLR benefits consumers, employers, employees and the business community by advancing balanced litigation reforms and by preventing burdensome legislation proposed by the trial bar and others that would increase litigation exposure and costs for Minnesotans and Minnesota businesses. We advocate for sensible lawsuit reform including shortening Minnesota’s general statute of limitations to be more in line with other states; reducing the 10% pre-judgement interest rate; and allowing judges to review merits of class actions lawsuits before allowing costly court procedures such as discovery to occur.
