Lawfare in today’s vernacular is the weaponization of federal or state legal systems to go after one’s political opponent and is a portmanteau of the words “law” and “warfare.”

Lawfare is the use of legal systems and institutions to damage or delegitimize an opponent, or to deter an individual’s usage of their legal rights.

The term may refer to the use of legal systems and principles against an enemy, such as by damaging or delegitimizing them, wasting their time and money, or winning a public relations victory.

At the end of the meeting, the audience may ask Trettis questions.
