Illinois' Lawsuit Climate

Illinois trails the rest of the country when it comes to legal fairness, according to a recent study released by the U.S. Chamber Institute for Legal Reform (ILR). The corporate lawyers familiar with the current litigation environment in Illinois ranked the state 45th out of 50. The survey respondents also named two Illinois counties among the worst jurisdictions in the country; Cook County was named as the single most unfair and unreasonable litigation environment and Madison County was named the fifth most unfair.
