The costs attached to litigation are relatively well documented. The particulars with respect to the costs such as their magnitude or the sectors that they affect are less prevalent. Of particular interest to Advocacy is the magnitude of litigation costs which falls on small business. Better information on small business' share of the burden imposed by litigation costs will enable the Office of Advocacy to further understand and document the obstacles faced by small businesses in the U.S. economy. This will be accomplished by conducting this voluntary survey of small businesses, and publishing the results in a public research paper
