TCPALaw originally began in 1996 as a repository of research materials and case law for litigants and attorneys. It slowly evolved with news, a slip reporter service, and online databases for tracking defendant activities. It is now the number one source for research and support of Telephone Consumer Protection Act litigation. It has been recommended to litigants by the FCC as a resource, and counts many state legislators’ offices and state attorneys’ general offices as subscribers.In the beginning, practically no attorneys had any desire to become involved in taking telemarketers and junk faxers to court. This meant that consumers had to proceed on their own or pro se. Lacking official legal training, they relied on a network of other consumers, and a few attorneys who were friendly to the cause, to develop a base of knowledge and documents that helped them win their cases. Becoming experts in the TCPA, some of these nonattorneys are now the authors of published law review articles and write the briefs for dozens of TCPA attorneys and even attorneys general. No where else in the law have nonattorneys had such a major impact in court cases.
