The VoiceFor Leading Retailers
in the Judiciary
The Retail Litigation Center (RLC) is the only membership organization dedicated to representing the retail industry in the judiciary. Historically, the Retail Litigation Center has engaged in appellate advocacy – filing amicus briefs in more than 200 cases to date and building the successful litigation strategy that led to the US Supreme Court’s groundbreaking decision in South Dakota v. Wayfair. The RLC has added a new defense competency that will allow retail corporate counsel to work together to address the mass action litigation that plagues successful national retailers. No other organization serves this function for the retail industry.
