  • Judicial Hellholes Report
    “ Since the Supreme Court of the United States is the highest authority as concerns federal constitutional questions such as the present one, I am unable to join an opinion of a state court that does not abide by its latest pronouncement.” – Supreme Court of Pennsylvania Chief Justice Thomas Saylor in his dissenting opinion in Hammons v. Ethicon (October 21, 2020). “ The current construction of PAGA by California courts [which have their own constitutional infirmities] gives rise to the following unconstitutional framework: valid and binding arbitration agreements are rendered unenforceable; private contingency-fee attorneys are permitted to litigate on behalf of the state without oversight or coordination with any state official; private attorneys are allowed to negotiate settlements that enrich themselves at the expense of everyone but themselves.” – California Business & Industry Alliance in its suit against the State of California alleging a lack of governmental oversight of PAGA litigation. “ The average New Yorker feels the pain too. Nuclear verdicts (and routinely excessive verdicts) drive insurers from the market and increase premiums. The twin pressures of decreasing competition and increased insurance costs are ultimately passed through to the consumer. This is the same consumer and taxpayer who was leaving New York at a higher rate than any of the 50 states even before COVID-19.” – The New York Law Journal writing about the economic impact of New York’s legal climate and the rise in excessive verdicts. “ Welcome to St. Louis, the new hot spot for litigation tourists. The city’s circuit court is known for fast trials and big awards.” – Margaret Cronin Fisk, Bloomberg News “ I talk to business owners and lobbyists who represent business owners and they would not come here for anything… I’m sorry I get flustered when I hear people say we are bringing in money.
