Anti-SLAPP Suits

Anti-SLAPP statutes shield those engaged in certain protected activities from harassment suits for defamation or related claims. 

An "anti-SLAPP" is a suit brought under state law to dismiss a "strategic lawsuit against public participation."  Generally a "SLAPP" is a civil complaint or counterclaim to punish or deter individuals or organizations from making communications to government or engaging in speech on an issue of public interest or concern.
