There already is a “loser pays” provision in the Civil Rights Laws. It’s the Attorneys Fee Act of 1976 which the ACLU has been using to bludgeon small towns and small school boards into caving to ACLU demands. “Loser pays” also known as the English Rule, would be a fine reform in tort law generally. But it already exists in this area of the law.
