The Civil Justice Fairness Act (Шаблон:Usbill, Шаблон:Usbill) was proposed to limit the amount of monetary compensation awardable in civil case to a maximum of either $250,000 or 300% of the economic damage caused by the defendant; whichever was greater. Opponents of this act argued that federal restrictions of this sort would illegally preempt state authority.

The bill was a combination of two preceding bills.[1] First, the Product Liability Fairness Act of 1995 (Шаблон:Usbill), was passed by the US Congress, but was vetoed by President Clinton. Second, the Attorney Accountability Act of 1995 (Шаблон:Usbill) passed the house.
