Jeff Cunningham, publisher of
Directorship Magazine, joins FFCJ's Kristyn Shayon to
talk about the 2008 Boardroom Guide to State Legal Climates, featured in the June/July Edition of the magazine.
Jeff discusses the practical steps
that board directors
should take in reviewing litigation and litigation environment
confronting their companies at the state level. He
describes why the reduction in litigation cost is the most
promising area for the recovery of corporate value for
shareholders. He also discusses why Boards need to work with
groups like the Foundation for Fair Civil Justice to seek reforms in
state laws that allow corporate assets to be diminished through
frivolous litigation.
