Cause-oriented and government repeat players litigate despite relational costs

Evidence

There are, however, exceptions to this pattern of low litigation rates. First, some repeat players—for example, the American Civil Liberties Union and the Sierra Club—are committed to furthering particular ends and may be quite willing to reject compromise solutions and take disputes to court. Second, government also tends to be quite heavily involved in litigation with other repeat players, as both plaintiff and defendant. — G. Alan Tarr, Judicial Process and Judicial…, 1116
