According to this report in the National Law Journal the American Tort Reform Association released its third annual “Judicial Hellholes” list (South Florida was the worst in the Inferno) and the Center for Justice & Democracy issued its first-ever “Zany Immunity Law Awards.” As writer David Hechler notes, the two reports “are not a point-counterpoint, but they are certainly a study in contrasts.”
The ATRA report states that it is all about “the conduct of judges who do not apply the law evenhandedly to all litigants and do not conduct trials in a fair and balanced manner.” The President for the Center for Justice & Democracy is quoted as saying, “We're just trying to raise awareness. These laws tend to pass very much under the radar." The lists can be accessed by clicking on the appropriate link: Zany Immunity Law Awards; Judicial Hellholes .
