The Florida Campaign for Legal Reform is a project of theU.S. Chamber Institute for Legal Reform(ILR). This campaign has been established to provide you with the latest information on activities and events related to our goal of reforming Florida's legal system. Florida can't afford the high price of lawsuit abuse -- and that's why we are working to bring sensible legal reform!

FLORIDA: One of the Worst States for Lawsuit Abuse
Miami-Dade Among Country's Worst Jurisdictions

Florida ranks among the ten worst (42nd out of 50) states for lawsuit abuse, according to Lawsuit Climate 2008: Ranking the States – an annual Harris Interactive Survey conducted for the U.S. Chamber Institute for Legal Reform. In addition, Miami-Dade County was named among the ten worst local jurisdictions in the country.

This reputation is good for trial lawyers … but bad for Florida’s employers, consumers and working families.
