Trial Lawyers, Inc. Illinois

November 9, 2006

The Manhattan Institute's Center for Legal Policy has published Trial Lawyers Inc.: Illinois, the fourth full-length report examining the workings of the litigation industry and the second such report focusing exclusively on a single state following Trial Lawyers, Inc.: California, published in April 2005.  Illinois is a logical subject for CLP's second state study:  The fifth-most populous state, Illinois is home to a plaintiffs’ bar whose aggressive tactics have had a far-reaching national — and even international — impact.

CLP Director Jim Copland joins us to talk about the importance of this report in the effort to stem the tide of frivolous lawsuits in Illinois.  Download Report PDF
