Abstract

The Judgment Fund is the mechanism Congress established to pay most settlements and judgments against the federal government. Paul Figley analyzes why it made sense for Congress to create the Judgment Fund, why Congress should require better reporting of payments made, and why it should consider reasserting some control over huge settlements that, in practical effect, create new government claims programs.
