Judicial Hellholes

Over at the PopTort comes this humdinger of a letter they sent to the American Tort Reform Association, of which I give you but a snippet:

Your courageous "Judicial Hellholes" report at long last draws attention to the many injustices corporations have to face day in and day out. You have finally given a voice to the "mom and pop" tobacco companies, gasoline conglomerates, and insurance providers. Frankly, it gives me goose bumps.

And my commentary from last year:

The Bubbe Maisse Report (aka "Judicial Hellholes")

Every year like clockwork they put out one of these "reports" and every year like clockwork the media reports on it as if it were something other than propaganda.

Throughout the blog as it develops, you may see examples of cases we have handled, or cases from others, that are used for illustrative purposes. Since all cases are different, and legal authority may change from year to year, it is important to remember that prior results in any particular case do not guarantee or predict similar outcomes with respect to any future matter, including yours, in which any lawyer or law firm may be retained.

Some of the commentary may be become outdated. Some might be a minority opinion, or simply wrong. No reader should consider this site (or any other) to be authoritative, and if a legal issue is presented, the reader should contact an attorney of his or her own choosing for advice.
