SLAPP stands for "strategic lawsuit against public participation." It involves filing a lawsuit against individuals or groups who speak out against the plaintiff on matters of public interest, in an attempt to intimidate or silence them. The goal of a SLAPP is not to win the case, but to bankrupt the defendant through the cost of legal fees and to discourage others from speaking out.
