an agreement between the party suing in a lawsuit (plaintiff) and another person,
usually an attorney, who agrees to finance and carry the lawsuit in return for a
percentage of the recovery (money won and paid). In common law this was illegal
on the theory that it encouraged lawsuits. Today it is legal and often part of a
"contingent fee" agreement between lawyer and client. It is not the same as barratry,
which is active encouragement of lawsuits.
