Lawfare is a morpheme of ‘law’ and ‘warfare.’
Guerrilla Lawfare is best understood as asymmetric warfare; using the law to gain financial or legal advantage over an opponent, tie up an opponent’s time or legal resources, or damage an opponent’s reputation. Parties involved on either side can be civil, criminal, governmental or non-governmental entities.
