U.S. Chamber Legal Survey Is a Fraud on the Public
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce survey, which ranked the best and worst legal systems in the country, is pretty much a fraud on the public. The so-called Astudy" is based on a survey of corporate defense lawyers from large corporations who are paid to avoid accountability for the misconduct and negligence of their corporate clients. Since this survey was limited to lawyers who are paid by corporate bosses, no reasonable person would consider it to be a fair and objective study. It would be sort of like doing a study on the courts and only surveying victims' lawyers for their opinions. It should be noted that the Chamber's Institute for Legal Reform, which is its tort reformer arm, currently has seven board members who represent the insurance industry. It's a mystery why the media would report this survey as being valid considering how the study was conducted.
