“The draft version of the federal form 990 is reviewed by the president, executive director, treasurer/senior director of finance and operations, as well as the full board of directors. After the review, any changes needed are made by the tax return preparer. The final federal form 990 is then electronically filed with the internal revenue service.”
“Employees consult with their direct supervisor over any areas that could be conflicts of interest. If the supervisor believes the issue needs to be addressed at a higher level the supervisor can then move the discussion up the chain of command within cei. Under cei's conflict of interest policy, board members are required to sign a conflict of interest disclosure statement.”
“The president's compensation is determined by the board of directors based on comparability data. As the president's compensation was at the low-end when the last study was conducted in 2012, the board of directors are comfortable with the current compensation. Compensation of officers and key employees is handled by the president and group of independent senior staff. The compensation is evaluated based on performance and comparability data with other similar organizations in the washington, dc area.”
“Cei does not make its governing documents or conflict of interest policy available to the public. The most recent audited financial statements and federal form 990 are available on the website.”
“Cei reviews and assesses all activities annually to identify any changes in the scope of the activities and revenue sources and the tax treatment thereof, to identify any uncertainty in income taxes. For the year ended september 30, 2018, management did not identify any uncertainty in income taxes requiring recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.”

| IRS990/Desc | 0 | CENTER FOR LAW AND LITIGATIONCEI'S CENTER FOR LAW AND LITIGATION FOCUSES ON DEVELOPING NEW APPROACHES TO FIGHT OVERREGULATION THROUGH LITIGATION. IN AREAS RANGING FROM CEI'S SUCCESSFUL CONSTITUTIONAL CHALLENGE TO THE SARBANES OXLEY FINANCIAL REGULATION LAW, TO EXPOSING THE LETHAL IMPACT OF FEDERAL FUEL ECONOMY STANDARDS, THE CENTER FOR LITIGATION HAS ESTABLISHED MAJOR NEW PRECEDENTS FOR COMBATING REGULATIONS THAT RESTRICT CONSUMER CHOICE, STIFLE INNOVATION, AND LIMIT COMPETITION. OVERREGULATION CAN ALSO RESULT FROM CLASS ACTIONS. SUCH LAWSUITS SUFFER FROM AN INHERENT PROBLEM: PLAINTIFFS' LAWYERS HAVE AN INTEREST IN THEIR FEES, WHILE CORPORATE DEFENDANTS HAVE AN INTEREST IN CHEAPLY DISPOSING OF THE CASE. AS A RESULT, WHEN THESE CASES ARE SETTLED THE INTERESTS OF CLASS MEMBERS OFTEN TAKE A BACK SEAT. CEI'S CENTER FOR CLASS ACTION FAIRNESS REPRESENTS CLASS MEMBERS IN OPPOSING UNFAIR SETTLEMENTS. IT HAS WON MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FOR CONSUMERS AND SHAREHOLDERS, AND ESTABLISHED LANDMARK PRECEDENTS THAT DISCOURAGE THE FILING OF FRIVOLOUS CASES THAT BENEFIT ONLY THE LAWYERS WHO BRING THEM. |
