Abstract

This document is produced as part of the Central Curriculum of the Pioneering antiSLAPP Training for Freedom of Expression Project (the PATFox Project), which seeks to train lawyers defending journalists and media organizations, NGOs and activists against companies and official bodies using lawfare to shut down legitimate criticism.
The Central curriculum, composed by this document and the training materials available on the project webpage, is intended to equip European practicing lawyers and prospective practitioners to better represent clients against Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation (SLAPP). It will enable lawyers to identify SLAPPs and to consider a number of legal strategies which might assist them both to pre-empt and to respond to threats of litigation which are designed to intimidate or vex their clients, as opposed to legitimate claims intended to enforce a legitimate right.
