Land of Lincoln? Try Land of Lawsuits. U.S. Chamber President and CEO Tom Donohue discusses a new national survey — released by the U.S. Chamber Institute for Legal Reform (ILR) — which finds that Illinois’ lawsuit climate is among the worst in the country at number 46. The survey respondents also named two Illinois counties as among the worst jurisdictions in the country; Cook County was named as the most unfair and unreasonable jurisdiction and Madison Country was named the sixth most unfair county.
