Rich Barber

In 2000, Gus Barber was 9-years old when he was killed by a misfired Remington rifle. Since Gus’s tragic death, his father Rich has been gathering evidence about the faulty trigger design on Remington’s 700-series rifles; the defect has been a public safety hazard for more than half a century. Public Justice is now seeking to unseal court records that could prove Remington’s dangerous negligence.

Our History

Public Justice (formerly Trial Lawyers for Public Justice) opened its doors on January 31, 1982 to pursue an inspiring vision – building the trial lawyers’ public interest law firm.

We did that and more. No public interest law firm in the country is involved in a broader range of high-impact, cutting-edge litigation.

So, on January 31, 2007, our 25^th anniversary, we changed our name to Public Justice to pursue the expanded, inspiring vision we had already started to fulfill – building America’s public interest law firm.
