Its name is an abbreviation of the Latin phrase qui tam pro domino rege quam pro se ipso in hac parte sequitur, meaning "[he] who sues in this matter for the king as well as for himself."
Qui tam lawsuits are a type of civil lawsuit whistle-blowers bring under the False Claims Act. This specific law both protects and rewards whistle-blowers if their qui tam case recovers funds for the government. Qui tam cases are a powerful way for whistle-blowers to help the government stop many kinds of fraud. Medicare and Medicaid fraud, defense contractor fraud and numerous other types of frauds that impact the government financially and recover billions that have been stolen from the U.S. Treasury and taxpayers. (Tax frauds and securities law violations are handled differently.)
