The Institute for Legal Reform, an affiliate of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, recently released their 2007 State Liability Systems Ranking Study. The population of respondents was comprised of 1599 in-house general counsel and senior litigators at companies with annual revenues of at least $100 million. The results were quite interesting. Here are the top 5 and bottom 5 states that have a “fair and reasonable litigation environment:” (drumroll…)
| Top 5 - Delaware
- Minnesota
- Nebraska
- Iowa
- Maine
| Bottom 5 - West Virginia (#50)
- Mississippi (#49)
- Louisiana (#48)
- Alabama (#47)
- Illinois (#46)
