The American Association for Justice has a problem that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is trying to fix.

The problem involves the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA). The Chamber has long argued the law has allowed abusive litigation against companies. The trial lawyers' group, which supports the statute, now finds itself defending a federal class action brought under the law by some of its members.

Bryan Quigley, a spokesman for the U.S. Chamber Institute for Legal Reform, which is lobbying for changes to the telemarketing law, said the American Association for Justice (AAJ) now knows what life is like for businesses that face lawsuits under the statute.
