Description

Abstract
PATFoX will pioneer Europe's first anti-SLAPP training, upskilling lawyers representing journalists and human rights defenders in 11 EU member states. The 2000s have seen an epidemic of a new kind of vexatious litigation. Plaintiffs often have no reasonable path to victory, but victory isn’t the point; SLAPPs are designed to scare defendants into silence and pre-emptively chill future exposure of wrongdoing. PATFoX will draw on international expertise in fundamental rights and in-country knowledge to develop a model anti-SLAPP curriculum and then identify and train the 200 lawyers across 11 EU member states most likely to find themselves facing SLAPP suits.
