The personal injury lawyers are on the march.  In many states they are taking advantage of the results of the November 2006 election which brought to office many state officials who oppose legal reform.  In Iowa, as reported in the new edition of AJP's Trial Bar Watch, the Iowa Association of Business and Industry (ABI) has counted as many as 50 anti-business bills in the legislature.

Co-author Todd Young (left) joins AJP's Kristyn Shayon to discuss tactics being used by the trial bar in seven states profiled in this edition: Colorado, Delaware, Iowa, Kentucky, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

AJP compiles this insider view of how the trial bar is leveraging its influence to expand business liability so that CEOs and corporate lawyers will know what to expect in the legal environment. AJP Partner organizations in each state enable our team to provide summary analysis that enables you to understand state dynamics through the eyes of the leaders you are counting on to stop the trial bar from destroying the market environment.

In this edition, you will learn how Delaware is on the verge of becoming another Judicial Hellhole and how business is currently losing the battle for legal reform in states where anti-reform majorities control one or both houses of the state lawmaking bodies and governors have aligned with the trial bar. In one state after another, decisions by state Supreme Courts underscore the importance of their role to the business community.
