Since 2002, the American Tort Reform Association has published a list of jurisdictions within the United States that present significant challenges for defendants in civil litigation. The list is titled “Judicial Hellholes” and is described as places where judges systematically apply laws and court procedures in an unfair and unbalanced manner to the disadvantage of defendants in civil matters. For 2019-2020, Philadelphia has reclaimed the top spot in the most recent announcement of the Judicial Hellholes list. Click Here to learn more from our partners at Chartwell Law.
