The American Tort Reform Association has ranked Louisiana the sixth-worst civil court jurisdiction in the country, making the state a top “judicial hellhole” for another year.
A business-backed study urges a makeover of the state’s court system, including online access to court records and electronic document submissions, a full accounting of courthouse spending and revenues, and a realignment of judicial districts to reflect population changes.
Lawsuit Abuse Awareness Week is observed each October by Louisiana Lawsuit Abuse Watch and civil justice reform organizations across the U.S. to inform citizens about the costs and consequences of lawsuit abuse and encourage elected officials to bring fairness and common sense to civil justice systems.
