New York City, New Mexico Emerge as 'Judicial Hellholes,' Joining Perennials in Florida, West Virginia, Illinois, New Jersey
Source: American Tort Reform Association
The American Tort Reform Foundation today released its annual Judicial Hellholes®report, naming some of the nation's "most unfair civil court jurisdictions," including first-time "Hellholes" New York City and the appellate courts of New Mexico, which join perennials South Florida, West Virginia, Cook County, Illinois, and Atlantic County, New Jersey.
The report also cites several "Watch List" jurisdictions that are on the cusp – "they may fall into the Hellholes abyss or rise to the promise of Equal Justice Under Law" – in California, Alabama, and former Hellholes in the Rio Grande Valley and Gulf Coast of Texas, Madison County, Illinois, and Jefferson County, Mississippi.
Among the jurisdictions noted less severely as "other areas to watch" are Madison County neighbor St. Clair County, Illinois, Orleans and Jefferson parishes in Louisiana, and Clark County (Las Vegas), Nevada.
