Today banks, Wall Street hedge funds, foreign sovereign wealth funds and other entities invest secretive third-party funding in lawsuits and have more than $15 billion in assets dedicated to U.S. civil litigation &#8212; betting that they can earn big returns from large legal judgments and settlements.<\/p><h4><span style=\"font-weight: 600;\">Because these funding arrangements are usually not disclosed, courts and parties don\u2019t know:<\/span><\/h4><ul><li><strong>how many or which cases<\/strong> potentially involve such funding,<\/li><li><strong>the extent of the funders\u2019 influence or control over decisions, <\/strong><\/li><li>the<strong> potential for conflicts<\/strong> or<\/li><li>the<strong> role or impact that third-party funders may have in cases. <\/strong><\/li><\/ul><p>These are all reasons why courts and parties need to Ask About TPLF \u2014 and need to ask about it in the right way. Unfortunately, the approach some courts use to raise the topic \u2013 verbally in open court or <em>ex parte<\/em> in chambers \u2013 is ineffective and unfair. Courts should order disclosure of TPLF agreements, and a rule is needed to provide a consistent process across all federal
