How to use litigation in a sentence?

1. Abraham Lincoln:

   Discourage litigation. Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever you can. As a peacemaker the lawyer has superior opportunity of being a good man. There will still be business enough.

2. John Holden:

   A lot of state regulators have big First Amendment fears, no one wants to fund litigation or lose a Supreme Court case over gambling.

3. Chris Hollins:

   My office is prepared to send applications and educational materials to remaining registered voters at the conclusion of this baseless litigation.

4. Timothy Bishop:

   Fuzzy tests that encourage wasteful litigation really are not helpful to anyone except lawyers.

5. Malik Edwards:

   I don't think you can legislate and have those families pay, if you're going to go after individuals you'd have to come up with a theory to do it through litigation. At least on the federal level Congress doesn't have the power to go after these folks. It just doesn't fall within its Commerce Clause powers.
