Top 7 "Judicial Hellholes"

by

Well it’s Friday!  Time once again to digress from lawyer marketing.

cover_medThis Friday we take a look at ATRA’s Top 10 Judicial Hellholes 2008.

These are places that ATRA contends, “where judges systematically apply laws and court procedures in an inequitable manner, generally against defendants in civil lawsuits.”

Being a former Michigan trial attorney, I have never practiced in a “judicial hellhole”.  I am curious as to what it’s like in these places.  Do the judges just sit back and pass out stacks of cash?  Or is ATRA just feeding the propaganda machine?

If you’ve ever practiced in one of these jurisdictions, I am curious to know what you think.  Is ATRA right?

1.  West Virginia

2.  South Florida

3.  Cook County, Illinois

4.  Atlantic County, New Jersey

5.  Montgomery & Macon Counties in Alabama

6.  Los Angeles County, California

7.  Clark County, Nevada

    I practice in a former “hellhole” — Mississippi. I think the ATRA is full of it. All this propaganda would be funny (because it’s baseless) except that the Chamber of Commerce has so much money and influence that we can’t just dismiss it.

    Full of it. They mean it is a plaintiff friendly jurisdiction like Texas USED TO BE before they loaded the appellate courts with insurance friendly judges and spent zillions on tainting the jury pool.
