Tobacco Litigation of the 1990s
While multistate litigation existed long before the states' fight against Big Tobacco, it was the tobacco litigation of the late 1990s that helped then-current and future AGs understand just how powerful they could be when joining forces with like-minded states. It also began the backlash led by conservative AGs and led to more partisan divisions among the states' respective AGOs -- offices that had previously been viewed as relatively nonpartisan guardians of consumer protection and law enforcement.
