Now in its eighth edition, James B. Helmer, Jr.’s authoritative treatise delivers a comprehensive and current analysis of False Claims Act (FCA) case law, along with proven best practices for litigating FCA matters. Helmer’s distinguished career includes representing Jack Gravitt in 1986—a case that helped revitalize the FCA and expand the use of qui tam actions by whistleblowers. He has argued an FCA case before the U.S. Supreme Court and testified before Congress on amendments to the statute. Decades of hands-on experience have given him unmatched insight into the FCA’s evolution and application.

This treatise offers practitioners in-depth guidance on all aspects of FCA qui tam litigation, including discovery strategies, case preparation, commonly raised defenses and motions, and the recovery of attorney’s fees. Particularly valuable are the detailed model jury instructions, which provide practical assistance in trial preparation.

Key features of this edition include:

• Analysis of FCA amendments and their impact on litigation strategy

• A detailed, user-friendly table of contents for quick access to relevant text, analysis, and case law

• Two foundational chapters tracing the historical development of the FCA

• A fully searchable PDF appendix containing several hundred pages of sample pleadings and other essential practice materials

• Comprehensive discussion of every U.S. Supreme Court FCA decision, including variations in interpretation among the federal circuits

In addition, the book examines the growing number of states that have enacted their own False Claims Acts, providing valuable insight into parallel state enforcement regimes.
