Report Names Madison County
Top 'Judicial Hellhole' in U.S.

Madison County, Ill., was named the top "judicial hellhole" in the country by the American Tort Reform Association Thursday, and the city of St. Louis wasn't far behind. The label refers to cities, counties or judicial districts that attract lawsuits from around the nation because they are perceived as "plaintiff-friendly" jurisdictions, the association said. The results were culled from a survey of ATRA members and independent research. Posted by Editor at November 6, 2003 10:51 AM
