American Tort Reform Foundation Publishes 'Hellhole' Report
In December 2007, the American Tort Reform Foundation released its annual report, Judicial Hellholes', which added some new jurisdictions to the foundation's list of the worst places for defendants to defend a tort action. The new 'hellholes' are Atlantic County, NJ, which includes within its borders Atlantic City; and Clark County, NV. The two counties join the previously-named jurisdictions of South Florida, the Rio Grande Valley and Gulf Coast of Texas, Cook County, IL, and West Virginia as places that the foundation says have unfair civil court systems. Madison County, IL, which was once on the list of the worst jurisdictions, has been moved to the lesser category of 'Watch List' jurisdictions, which include St. Clair County, IL, Northern New Mexico, Hillsborough County, FL, and the entire states of Delaware and California.
